I have a haunted 02 Durango. The left head light would stay on,, then sometimes the right,,, if you clciked the switch on and off, it would turn off. Now,,,,,, left headlight stays on,,,, no matter what,,, and dome lights are flashing,,,, when I turn on light switch,,, no change one head light,,,,, unhooked battery, let it set a few minutes, but no change after I hooked up battery again.

I'm inclined to think it is a bad headlamp switch as evidenced by this drawing of it.

like I said , the remote start works,,,,, but,,,, if I remote start it,,,,, then put key in, turn key on for normal use,,, then turn key "off",,, Durango still runs !!!!!!!!!! Yikes ! Then with key in off position,,,, if I hit brake,,, then motor quits. With light switch on,,,, one head light,,, flashing dome lights,, no tail lights,,, Fog lights do not come on either,,,, [ pull on light switch for those ]


I was thinking the remote start gizmo was going bonkers,,, but it does remote start,,,but right now, I have to unhook battery since left headlight stays on,,, I can hear a small buzzing/humming noise in the engine room too until I disconnect battery.
