Chrysler Repair: 98 Chrysler T&C headlight switch malfunction, headlamp switch, body control module


Question
When on Automatic my headlights work, but when switched to on or park they
will not turn on, any suggestions?

Answer
Hi Scott,
As I review the wiring diagrams, it would appear to be an internal contact problem with the switch. Each of those three positions are connected individually to the body control module by a different wire and the head lamp switch merely ground one of those three wires depending upon which one you select. I would try spraying the inside of the headlamp switch with electronic contact cleaner, via any cracks/hole in the switch body.
You could verify the switch by checking whether pins 8,3,7 of black plug of the switch are grounded one at a time when you switch through the sequesnce park, on, auto.
