03\' flickering headlights?

I have heard about some of the 03's having flickering headlights, well
tonight was the first time I have had my car out in the dark, and geuss what!
I have flickering headlights, all the other drivers on the freeway thought it was great! I'm sure they thought I was some sort of Ass....

Has anyone else had this fixed yet? Did it take a long time, did the car have to be left at the dealer?

Chuck, when are you opening Tator's West?

Re: 03\' flickering headlights?

You need to take your car back to the dealer ASAP. They will update your computer to address this issue. Easy fix for them. Believe it is the body control module that needs to be updated. It will also address some drivability issues, and possibly make your car feel stronger. Most 03's had this issue.

Re: 03\' flickering headlights?

Steve,
Paul is right and I just ran your VIN# you have two Recalls on your 03:
Recall C31, Cooling Fan Module
Recall C33, Reprogram BCM - Vehicle Lighting
Also while they're in there reprograming the BCM ask them to give you the performance update for the PCM! I've done that to all of the 03's that have been in my shop and what a difference that makes!

"Tator's West" not yet. Still working on my cloning. :D

2charmed.

Since you are in Chula Juana, and this upgrade is only done by connecting a computer, the dealership should not matter. You could go to any Dodge dealer who has a Viper Tech and a DBR.

Re: 03\' flickering headlights?

I have been following this issue for a long time, and thought I had escaped. Guess what? After 8800 miles and 13 months, it started about a week ago. I'm having the C31 cooling fan module and the C33 vehicle lighting recalls taken care of tomorrow.

Re: 03\' flickering headlights?

Mine started at 80 miles! The first time I used the headlights!
I will be getting this taken care of and the PCM reflash as the Wizard has
suggested.
