headlights are STILL flashing

Put it on DC Volts, not sure the range on your meter, but if you want to see between 0 and 12 volts you need to have it set to 20V DC, something above 12 but not in the 100+ range, too hard to decipher a difference. Wiggle the wire harness if they aren't flickering when you test, could be a broken wire or connection. Have you tried swapping relays instead of just pulling it? You know the diagram on the PDC lid is a mirror image of what the relay config is in the box right?

pdc? what is that?Im not good with electrical at all.I dont even know how to use a multimeter even though i have one lol.My lights dont flicker they flash after being on for 20mins or so...road conditions does not matter the road can be smooth or rough and they flash.No i havent tried swapping relays..just pulled and found out that the lights still work without it and tried it on a guys car at work today and his work also with out the relay(97/98 intrepid).

What relay are you pulling? What is it labeled as on the fuse panel lid. You are talking about the fuse panel on the driver's side inside the door on the side of the dash, the main relays are in the engine compartment on the driver's side in a black box. Your issue isn't a fuse or the lights wouldn't work at all, it sounds like a relay issue or possibly a bad voltage regulator in your alternator. Try swapping the relays I mentioned in my last post in the engine compartment and see if there is any difference. Also, are your headlights aftermarket or original?

I'm wondering if maybe the 2 bulbs are drawing too much current or something goofy like that. Try just one bulb and see if it still flashes on and off.
I'm also wondering if there is one of those little silver circuit breakers somewhere for the headlight circuit that could be causing issues.

After reading the thread. It looks like you got the electrical covered. (fuses, relays). Does the headlight flashes with the truck idle (not moving?) If so, it may not be wiring related.
You said you replaced the CTM module with a new one? Did you do as Shrp requested by reflashing the CTM? This may need to be done from the OEM dealership.
Another question, did the flashing headlight issue occurred before or after the CTM replacement? This question may be a invalid question if you have not flashed your CTM module from the dealership yet.
My guess on your flashing lights issue may be CTM related as I know the CTM controls the security system of your truck if it had one. it is possible the flashing headlights may be due to a faulty or improperly configured CTM.

I know there's some sort of circuit breaker in the fuse box on the side of the dash board, but I'm not sure what it does. The upgraded bulbs should work fine, I ran them for a while without issues, but I was just wondering if doing that would help rule something out.
