Default 2001 DGC Headlight issue

Hello. I have searched through pages and pages of the forum, but have been unable to spot this particular problem as of yet.[/align]I have a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan that hasheadlight trouble. [/align]WhenI start the van up, only thedriverside daytime running light works, then when I turn on the headlights, only thepassenger side headlight works.I replaced both bulbs to no avail, soit isn't the bulb(s). Has anyone else had trouble like this or heard of this? [/align]Do you have any ideas that could help us? This has gone on long enough.
Thanks for anyone who can shed some light. [/align][/align]

have you tried taking it to the dealer as I was looking in the factory manual and it says it couldbe the Front Control Module which needs a DRBIII scanner to read or the Intellegent Power Module whic by look ing at just has a bunch of fuses and relay so I would look into the FCM

I just bought an '01 Caravan...which was being sold because of the headlight problem (previous owner quoted $1200)....

I did the twist thing, and BAM, everything works fine....I'm so freakin' happy right now. Thank You!!!!!

Only other problem was drivers power window, I just got it replaced (motor/mech) it was $240 installed.

Has new rad, a/c, tires, windshield, ...undercoated, non-smoker, very well cared for, regular service checks etc.

Ready for this?...I got it for $1000.
