Default 06 Ram 1500 Passenger Headlight Problem

Hello guys!

I have an 06 Dodge Ram 1500. 2 weeks ago the passenger headlight cut out, I bought a new bulb but it did not correct the problem. The high beams work as they should and the drivers low beam also works fine. The plug and wires at the housing are good with no corrosion. I checked all the fuses in the fuse box under the hood and all were good. I couldnt find any other fuses or relays in the vehicle anywhere.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I checked all the other posts, but none are directly related to the exact problem I have.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks. I did some poking around on it today. It turns out that its the TIPM. I can bypass it with a jumper and work all 4 low and high beams seperatly from there. The dealer wants $788.00 for the TIPM. I think Im going to bypass the low beams all together with a seperate relay.

Anyone know if there is a bypass relay kit or do you just have to make one up yourself?
