Archived no lights

Headlights have quit working. No power at plugs. Everything else works. Help.

Sounds like your TIPM has crapped out. Time to head over to the dealer and pull out the wallet! Also, since your truck is an 06, MAKE SURE THEY UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE!!!! There was a bulletin that came out dealing specifically with TIPM failure due to incorrect current specs within the software.

***Dorman is also offering remanufactured TIPM's with upgraded software if my memory serves me correctly***

First check if there is really no power at the bulbs, if there is no working bulb installed there will be no power to the connector.
The TIPM sends only power to the bulb if there is one installed.
To check for the dash switch just disconnect it, with missing switch the TIPM switches on the driving lights permanently as a safety feature.

Fuse maybe?

Front Lights haven't a Fuse, the TIPM senses a short and breaks the circuits, KOEO resets the System.

Thanks everyone.

What about the dimmer switch? Would that take the head lights out? bg
