Jeep Patriot, Dodge Caliber - TIPM Module Bypass for Dipped Headlights, VIN Programming Issues

Question

First, the power to the left light stopped coming, I mounted the relay under the right light input and connected them together. After 4 months, the right lamp was powered, which is what I connected the relay. All other lights only work, not the headlights. Somewhere I read that a possible...

I replaced the used TIPM in the Dodgu Ram, only the correct initiation was enough, without any investment, you can connect the relays to the position for safety through diodes, systems that switch the lights are sensitive to any modifications

In Caliber, that I had a mouse, that if the car was driven for a long time with a blown low beam light bulb, the driver saved the error and gave power to a new light bulb only after erasing the errors.

I read about it, did a reset but it didn't help. I have a diesel engine and this mike reportedly concerned gasoline players (security in the event of an accident)

kgabryelczak · Answer

It is not a protection in the event of an accident, but only against burning the installation in the event of a short circuit.
There is a processor in the TIPM module which controls the flow of current through individual receivers depending on the software version, after removing the fault, it restores power to the circuit or not. A simple reset will not help, it helps to change the software "flash" TIPM. But you can't do it on your own, you have to visit the website and those silver coins. Which year is it, Jeep or Dodge ?, in 2006 there were problems after 2008 they changed the software (there were class actions in the US) http://dodgeforum.com/ how-tos / a / dodge-ram-lighting-problems-diagnostic-394656

I connected the relay to the positional one, as my colleague kgabryelczak advised, but unfortunately TIPM disconnects (it detects a short circuit).
On the website, they want PLN 105 for uploading a new program and they do not guarantee the result.
Why not buy a used TIPM right away and go to them?

kgabryelczak · Answer

If you manage to buy a TIPM with the same number (the final letters may be different) then try to initialize it yourself. I found this description for Dodg: disconnect the battery, replace the TIPM, before connecting the battery, remove the fuses in it tied with yellow plastic, fasten the battery, turn on the ignition for 12 seconds, after turning off, insert the fuses after the next switching on, the module is already initialized. It worked for me.
You connected the relay coil through a TIPM diode, it does not like inductive loads. Plus you gave the relay from the battery (of course, through the fuse)?

comin · Answer

Yes, I connected via a diode

comin · Answer

Today I was on the site, PLN 105 went for coffee and catalogs :-)

But the program was uploaded from scratch and it turned out that one end in TIPM is damaged
Fortunately, the second light came back so I can connect through the relay.
What do you think, it is better to connect the diode in series with + or as it is done with relays, i.e. by bridging the coil?

Hello,has the problem been solved? It's the same for me. One light fell on the Jeep Patriot. How to deal with this problem at the cheapest cost?

comin · Answer

A relay and a signal from the second lamp

arthur84 · Answer

What relay? Ordinary one for lamps? Because something was written to the diode above?

Sylwester.krol · Answer

Hello. And how was the problem with light solved? For me it happened in the Dodge Caliber. For now I can't find out what is damaged. But I bet on TIMP
