2 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 05/30/2010

My van is a 2002 and it has the drivers side light out while the passenger stays on. When I pull the high beem switch the passenger side goes out and the drivers side comes on. My bad light changes sides as I click the dimmer switch. I have replaced the dimmer switch, and both headlights and that did not fix the issue. If you hold in the dimmer switch when the lights are on bright, both the bright light on one side and the dim light on the other side are on.

3 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 03/24/2008

I have a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan that has had headlight troubles for nearly two years. When you turn the van on, only the right headlight turns on. When you turn the headlights on, only the left headlight turns on. When you turn the brights on, only the right headlight turns on. Always, only one light at a time. We have replaced about three different switches and we still can't seem to find the trouble. (no, it isn't the bulb). This has gone on long enough. Even the dealer can't seem to find the trouble and it needs to be recalled for this problem.
