Default ram 1500 headlight module

ok, so the daytime running light module in my truck is pooched (canadian vehicle)
so, the daytime running lights work, but my headlights don't come on. both my daytime runners and brights work just fine.

two questions: is it possible that the headlights are shot?

second issue; i pulled a module out of a 96 dodge ( I'm told) but A,the connector didn't fit and B, i 'modded' it to fit and it didnt' run at all. it made no difference; lights were still off.


any ideas? i'd like to have my lights back!

possible the 'multifunction' switch has gone belly up.

Dorman products makes a replacement headlight module, until now it was a dealer item if available at all....

the multifunction switch is normally referring to the turn signal switch on the steering column he may be referring to the headlight switch thou which is also considered one..is your truck a sport or not? your best bet is to just replace your module with one from the boneyard just match the part number on your module to the one there dakota's and durango's use the same module so check them too

will check the JY for switches this weekend and another module. no clue if it'll fit though.
oh, trucks not a sport either, at least to my knowledge

forgot to add, about the multifunction switch, when i put the headlights on, the park and driving lights come on; just NOT the headlights.

i really am thinkin its two burnt bulbs.

that happened to me a few weeks back, the daytime light moduale crapped out and my daytime runners wouldn't shut off. I just went to chrysler and got the new modual and plugged it in and it was fine.
