Default Low/ high beam issues please help SOS!

Hey all new member I have an 06 ram 1500 and have been having issues with my headlights for some time now and am reaching out for help. My passenger side low beam doesnt work but driver side does. And the driver side high beam doesnt work but the passenger side does. Ive tried new bulbs but doesnt fix it. Could it be some issue with the TIPM? They were all working fine for a long time then just staryed having these issues. Thankyou in advance

check for power at the connectors. if you have power replace the connectors. if no power check for power out of the tipm or ohm check the wires from the tipm to the headlights. if the wiring is ok and you have no power out of the tipm...replace the tipm

if your handy and the the tipm is bad....there may be a youtube hack on how to install a new headlight relay on the tipm mother board or how to install an external relay.

Sounds like an issue with one of the computer modules on your truck. My dad had the exact same issue as you on his truck, and ended replacing one of the modules. I can't remember if it was the TIPM, but that sounds like it could be the main issue.

Its like they say its most likely tipm , I know previous owner of my 04 ram that had jumped the wire from one side of the light to the other so both would work but would not work on brights or something strange the way he had it , , which it worked ok but kept the lamp out light on,, so I removed it and fixed it properly which on a 04 it has IPM Integrated Power Module an a FCM or BCM some call it ,, Front Body Control Multifunction Module for headlights as yours is a Totally Integrated Power Module but they cause the same issue
