Hey everyone,
Sorry if I'm in the wrong spot to ask, but I'm in a pickle. So a while back about a year ago I ran into a problem where only one lowbeam headlight came on, but when I hit the brights, they both came on. I was told by my mechanic that it was probably the TIPM that needs replaced. Well I just thought it was the headlights themselves so I bought the new Sylvania brightest ones Autozone had and some anti-arc goop to install. I got the right one in just fine (the one that was just fine the whole time), but the left one was a B**CH to get in. I fought with it for over an hour to get the housing to seat fully, but finally I got it in and VIOLA...both headlights worked both lows and highs.
Fast forward to about a month ago. Same issue. I immediately thought the left one must've had an electrical short in it before and I jiggled it enough to work. Well I put a meter on it and I'm getting full current. This friggin' TIPM is not only elusive for my 2006 Ram 1500 Sport, but it's crazy expensive to buy AND even more expensive to have installed from what I'm understanding. I have checked EVERY SINGLE FUSE to no avail.
Any suggestions? Please? I'm pathetically desperate here...haha! Any help you guys and gals could offer would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
P.S.....I'll buy beer if you help!!! :grin:grin:grin:grin:grin
