Dodge Nitro headlights fail to stay on due to computer issue on Dodge Nitro

Some Dodge Nitro owners report experiencing headlight issues related to a malfunctioning Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). These problems can manifest as headlights flashing multiple times before shutting off completely, regardless of the beam position. Additionally, some owners notice that headlights may turn on by themselves and remain illuminated for a brief period, even when the vehicle is parked and the keys are not in the ignition. Other warning lights, such as ESP BAS, traction control, ABS, and brake lights, may also illuminate following these headlight issues. While disconnecting the battery may provide a temporary fix, it is advisable for owners to have the TIPM inspected and potentially replaced by a qualified mechanic to ensure proper headlight functionality.
