'95 Lebaron headlights do not work

    My wife recently had to have her car jumpstarted. When she brought it
    home, the headlights, the intermittent wipers, and the interior lights
    did not work. The engine ran fine, but the voltage gauge only showed 8
    volts. The 2- 60 amp fuses in the fuse block for the alternator had
    blown, so I replaced those. That solved the charging issue. Today I
    replaced the body control module that's behind the passenger kick
    panel. Now the wipers and interior lights work fine. Now it's just a
    matter of pinpointing what is wrong with the headlights.

    The headlights work if you pull the dimmer switch back (like when you
    want to quickly flash your lights), but they do not come on with the
    headlight switch, and neither do the tail lights nor do the dash
    lights. I know that there must be a module that controls the
    headlights, since they have the 90 second delay when you turn off the
    engine, but I assumed that the body control module did that function.
    Is there another module somewhere in the car that controls the
    headlights? Any other advice? I'm not an expert on the electrical
    system on this thing, so I am a little stumped. I have checked all of
    the fuses in both fuse blocks, so that's not the problem.

    Thanks in advance!

    You could have blown the fuse and the headlights. Jump started my wife's
    elantra, and the cables sparked disconnecting them, blew three fuses and the
    headlight bulbs because of that mistake.

    Sounds like it was designed by the same people who did the consoles
    for the ships in "Star Trek". ;)
