The most likely cause of this is a failing Central Timer Module (CTM). The CTM directly supplies power to the headlamps and dash illumination. The head lamp switch sends a signal to the CTM, and then the CTM sends power to the lamps. Replacing the CTM should take care of this.

SOURCE: One of my Headlight not working during low beam

replace both headlight bulbs
each bulb has two filiments inside the bad bulb has a burned out filiment but, they should be replaced as a pair
and, do not touch the glass with your fingers
the oil from your fingers can cause the bulb to fail

What are the wiring colors for the headlight switch on a 2000 dodge dakota? My problem is my highbeams work but my low beams only work with the tilt up. I took the column all apart and if i move the...

One wire provides power for both high- and low-beams from the light switch to the multifunction switch (on the steering column), and it is a light green wire. From the multifunction switch to the low beam lamps is a violet wire with white tracer, and to the high beams is a red wire with an orange tracer.

1999 DODGE DAKOTA HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING , i HAVE CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND REPLACED THE HEADLAMPS, STILL NOTHING, WHAT ELSE CAN IT BE?

Sounds like either a headlight switch or a broken ground. Did you lose both the hi and low beams? Do your parking lights work? The headlight switch outputs to the hi/low selector on the column. If both hi and low beams are out I would check output voltage from the switch. Sounds ike that make be your issue. Good luck and let me know if I can assist further.

1992 dodge dakota 3.9 4x4 no low beams and one high beam

Hi the first thing I check on for anyelectrical problem is a bad ground connection. Follow the headlight wires as far as you can, even when they disappear into a larger covered loom at random places, maybe even right next to each light, you will find a wire or several attached to ground, could be a inner fender, engine, etc.. sometimes a inner fender ground is just a selftapping screw, It may be rusted out or just loose. Headlights work through relays that are also located in the fuse boxes. I assume you have checked both fuse boxes, in the truck and under the hood, good luck, Chuck

No low beam headlights on my 1994 Dodge Dakota

Yes it could be your low beam that is out. Could also be a fuse that is blown I would check the bulb first then the fuse, if neither of those then it is the relay for the high and low beam

Why does my 1997 dodge dakota's headlights flicker on and off.

my 99 dakota has gone thru 3 switches. I have found that if they do it now ---i take off the instrument guard ---no screws ---
unscrew the headlamp switch ----and spray all movable parts with wd-40 it fixes it for about 3 months. my theory is the switch gets wet from AC condensation and builds up a film that the switch arm just rides on. hope this helps.

1998 dodge dakota v8 magnum headlight problem

headlight switch is overheating ... replace it be sure to check the plug on the harness making sure it did not melt. the design is poor too many wires going thru one switch. It will go bad again and again especially if you do alot of night driving or use your high beams alot.and by no means use any other headlights other then factory issue.
