It's possible it's the headlight switch, but I would suspect the central timing module (CTM), Chrysler's version of the BCM for 2003. It's located behind the kick panel to the left of the driver's feet, and is held in by three screws. Replacements (used/rebuilt but most warranteed) are available on eBay at

Get the part number from yours, and ensure you get the same part NUMBER, suffix letters may vary (especially the last letter). Make sure you are NOT getting a BASE version (marked on the part number label) if you have power door locks, etc.

Have your alternator checked...

you may have a bad ground wire up by the head lights the ground spot should be with in a foot of one or the head ligghts

There is a fuse you may have more then one fuse box look under the hood & under the dash. Most of the time Chrysler will just put a number next to the fuses. Go to your owners manual & see what number is your head light fuse. If you still can't find the right fuse take your test light & check both side of each fuse if one side lights up & one side does not replace it with the same size fuse.

Check these fuses again:
In the Power Distribution Center (in the engine compartment, left fender panel) Fuse #3 (20 Amp) Fuse #7 (40 Amp), Fuse #12 (20 Amp) and in the Junction Block (on the left end of the dash) Fuse #1 (15 Amp)
Use a test lamp and make sure that these fuses have power. All of these fuses should all have power at all times, regardless of ignition switch position. If they are all good and have power, then you probably need to replace your Central Timer Module. All of the circuits you listed are dependant on this module for operation.
The Central Timer Module is located at the left kick panel.
