Hi. Lets start by saying im Swedish so my english may have its ups and downs..

I will use the terms Full beam, half beam and parking light (the little bulb), hopefully you´ll understand what i mean.

When i start the car i have half beam and i can flash full beam by pulling the light lever towards me, no problem there.
When i drive in the dark i turn the **** on the light lever to be able to push it forward for constant full beam. Pushing the lever forward gives me full beam, that works, but when im pulling lever towards me to neutral position to go to half beam parking light goes on and i dont see anything ahead of me. So in order to drive in the dark and be able to switch between full and half beam i have to have the lever i forward position and turn the **** every time for half beam/full beam to work and thats not a safe way to drive in the dark.

Anyone heard about this problem before..?
I may also add that my dashboard lighting doesnt work, all other electrics works fine. Dont know if this helps but i thought i´d mention it...

The multi-function switch apparently isn't sending out the signals.


The only way to know for sure would be to actually see the multi-function switch states in the scanner. So, you will probably have to guess and replace the multi-function switch. They're very easy.

Welcome to the forum Erik.

 

I have a 2012 dodge caliber and I don't know what has happened to the headlights. Headlights worked lastnite high and low beams and this morning NOTHING! No low or high beams WTF! ?

 

stretchmeister72,

I'm sorry to hear about your head light issue. It is possible a wiring/connection is present with the multifunction switch or perhaps a fuse concern. Are your rear lights working, or have they gone out as well?
