 I was driving home from work one night, it was raining, when my headlights, wipers, and dashboard just went out. i pulled over in a parking lot, shut off the engine waiting a couple of minutes and turned it back on and they still wouldn't work. i can not drive my car at night or when it is raining, or even lock my doors. they tried replacing the ignition switch and still no lights.

 My 2001 dodge durango started having problems with interior lights, dash lights, intermittent wipers, door locks not operating, the 4-wheel drive light on, and headlights not working. checked all fuses and all were good. disconnected/reconnected battery and all returned to normal. two days later, while my 16 y/o son was driving the vehicle, the interior and dash lights (later to learn the headlights) were flickering on and off. i took it for a test ride and all seemed normal for first few miles, when suddenly the dash lights and headlights started to flicker rapidly. a few seconds later the headlights went out completely for approximately 5-7 seconds and came back on. the headlights went out again as i was pulling off the road for approximately 7-10 seconds with intermittent interior dash lights flickering. i turned the vehicle off, removed the negative battery terminal for approximately 3 minutes and again all returned to normal. this
