How do you aim the headlights on a 2005 Chrysler pacifica?

The 2005 Chrysler Pacifica doesn't have a manual headlight adjustment. The aiming is done by the headlamp leveling system, which is usually automatic and adjusts based on the vehicle's load. There's no user-accessible adjustment screw or knob like older cars.

If your headlights are aimed incorrectly (too high or too low), the problem likely isn't something you can adjust yourself. Instead, you should:

* Check the headlamp leveling system: Make sure the system is functioning correctly. Sometimes a malfunctioning sensor or actuator can cause misalignment. This requires a mechanic or dealership to diagnose and repair.

* Inspect for damage: Look for any damage to the headlights themselves, the mounting brackets, or any wiring related to the headlights.

* Take it to a professional: A mechanic or an alignment shop specializing in headlight aiming can properly adjust the headlights if necessary. They have the tools and expertise to diagnose and correct aiming issues. They'll likely use a specialized aiming tool to ensure proper alignment.

Simply put, don't try to adjust the headlights yourself. You risk damaging the system and won't likely achieve the correct alignment.
