problem #1

Mar 122012

Caliber 4-cyl

  • 76,800 miles
We parked our 2008 Dodge caliper for three days and when we drove next the head light switch would not activate the head lights at all, the auxiliary driving lights would not work, the wind shied wipers will not work (front or back) the wind shield washer will not work. The head lights do come on automatic when you start the vehicle and then they stay on until you turn the ignition switch off. The hazard lights will come on and flash but that is the only thing that is connected to the driver's column that will work. This is a safety problem because of the lack of lighting capability, the wind shield washers not working. I have goggled this problem and the same problem has happened on the Dodge avenger and there are several entries of the problem happening on the Dodge caliper.
