1997 Dodge caravan headlights wont work

My headlights will not go on when switch is turned to on. All my other lights work fine (dome,parking,etc). When power is jumped to the lights they work. Do I need a new headlight switch, or do I have a wiring problem elswhere? My headlights also wont come on. They worked fine until I left the key on and needed to have it jumped, then they came on and wouldn't go out. Now they wont come on at all except if you hold in on the highbeam switch but as soon as you let go they're gone.

Start with a switch, then trace the wiring. It could have a short.

Headlights won't come on intermittently 2005 Dodge Caravan

Quite possibly the switch, Dodge minivans also have a front control module located under the hood, it attaches directly to the underhood fusebox, if a switch doesn't fix it I would look there.

Headlights wont work

Fuse 22 and fuse 23 are left and right low beam headlamp fuses located in the PDC. 23 and 24 are high beam fuses. There is also a low beam and a high beam relay in PDC as well. If no headlights work I would check for main switch or multifuction switch (wiper/high beam) since each light has its own fuse and relay.

Dome Light

If it's like my 96 Ram, the dome light and headlights share a relay switch. My dome light turned on with only my parking lights on and the replacing the relay took care of it.
