ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DODGE HAS A BAD TIPM, WHEN A HEADLIGHT GOES OUT THE TIPM GETS AN OVER VOLTAGE SIGNAL AND SHUTS THE LIGHT DOWN SO IF YOU REPLACE THE LIGHT IT STILL WONT WORK, YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND GET IT REPROGRAMMED AND YOU CAN ONLY DO THAT TWICE AND HAVE TO GET A NEW ONE THAT COST $1000. *TR
