Why are both headlights on a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan out and all other lights work?

Headlight Switch:

The headlight switch may be faulty, preventing power from reaching the headlights. Check the switch for any damage or loose connections and replace it if necessary.

Headlight Relay:

The headlight relay controls the power supply to the headlights. If the relay fails, it can cause both headlights to go out. Check the relay for any damage or loose connections and replace it if needed.

Headlight Fuse:

The fuse for the headlights may have blown, interrupting the power supply. Check the fuse box and replace the blown fuse with one of the same amperage rating.

Headlight Wiring:

The wiring leading to the headlights might be damaged, causing them to stop working. Inspect the wiring for any damage or fraying and repair or replace it if necessary.

Headlight Sockets:

The sockets that hold the headlight bulbs may be damaged or corroded, preventing proper electrical contact. Clean or replace the sockets if necessary.

Headlight Bulbs:

Both headlight bulbs may have burnt out at the same time. Replace the bulbs with new ones of the correct type.

Body Control Module (BCM):

The BCM is responsible for controlling various electrical functions in the vehicle, including the headlights. Check if there are any issues with the BCM by looking for diagnostic trouble codes or malfunctions in other electrical systems.

If you have checked and ruled out all of these potential causes, it's best to consult with a qualified mechanic or an auto electrician to further diagnose the issue.
