Replace the headlight bulbs. Usually when the bulbs blow out the low beam blows out first, but the high beams still work. If you want and need both low and high beams to work then replace the headlight bulbs with brand new ones and I garauntee that both low and high beams will work

    i have the same problem on my 2003 Grand Caravan - I changed the light in the drivers side one and there was no change- I changed the light in the other side as well. No change. I tested the light in the passenger side and it works. High beams work - daytime running lights work. There is apparently a front controller unit in the fuse box that is some type of computer that might have something to do with this. These vans are electrical mine fields!

SOURCE: One of my Headlight not working during low beam

replace both headlight bulbs
each bulb has two filiments inside the bad bulb has a burned out filiment but, they should be replaced as a pair
and, do not touch the glass with your fingers
the oil from your fingers can cause the bulb to fail

SOURCE: headlights

IT may be as simple as replacing both head lights the high beam may be out in one and the low beam in the other, if not your proably looking at a faulty combination switch.

I have a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan.I have 2 new headlights and the drivers side low beam is out and the passenger high beam is out.I replaced the directional arm and everything stayed the same what else...

You may need a shop manual to get thru this.
There is a body computer and a front control module that affects headlights among other things. The front control module has drivers for each light on each side. All of the lights use the same ground so that should be ok.
The headlight switch sends a signal to the module and it controls the lights.

2001 grand caravan low beam light not working. i chang bulb already i check fuse already.

Hi Every single time I have had a failure of low beam in a headlight without failure of high beam, it has been because the lamp bulb or halogen lamp module has reached the end of its serviceable life, not because of any wiring problems. Low beam burns out first because it is on the most. If low beam is lost simultaneously in both headlights, I would check fuse first, then the headlight switch. If low beam is lost on one side only, it is almost always going to be due to the bulb or lamp module needing to be replaced. In that case, replace them in both headlights because the other one will be going kaput in short order, as well.Also if you already replaced the fuse and bulb check the headlight dimmer control switch.
Thanks for using Fixya.

I have a 2005 dodge caravan. the headlights have

On the van you have a high beam fuse and relay. On the low beam you also have a fuse and relay. Check the fuse/relay panel for a blown fuse controlling the low beam lights. If you do not find a blown fuse have some one to turn the key on and turn on the high beam lights> During this time locate the low beam headlight relay and place your finger on top of relay, have the other person to switch from high beam to low beam lights. You should feel a click in the relay when they make the switch from high to low beam. If not replace the relay and the problem should go away. Hope this will help you.

disconnect the module that is mounted in front of the fuse box .Then carefully clean the the connectors ,they are usually pretty dirty.After they are clean put it back 2gether.If it doesnt solve the prob then u might have to stick some washers on your bottom screws so that your module is angled in.This will ensure a solid connection.
