Headlight Relay, '91 Dodge Caravan
1991 Dodge Caravan, When I turn on the headlight switch, the running
lights come on but not the headlights, until I pull the turn indicator up, and the high beams come on, but only if you hold it, and the lows never come on. I described the problem to the auto parts store tech and he recommended that I get a headlight relay, looks like a 1 1/2-2 inch aluminum cylinder with three prongs sticking out, and I don't even know where it goes. I'm used to working on my '64 Ford truck, much simpler. Any ideas?-Jitney |

They are cheap, and you probably should be changing it out by now even if it wasn't bad. If that isn't it, then the next suspect would be the headlight switch or the bright/dim switch. If either of these are in your steering column, don't mess with it if you are not aware of how to work around an air bag. -john- -- ================================================== ==================== John A.
