The 2012 Chrysler 200 does not have a dedicated fuse for the headlights. Instead, the headlights are powered through the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), which acts as a smart fuse box. This module controls the headlights via signals from the light control switch, rather than relying on a traditional fuse setup.

Understanding the TIPM

The Totally Integrated Power Module is responsible for managing various electrical components in your vehicle, including the headlights. Here are some key points regarding the TIPM:

  • The headlights do not have a specific fuse; instead, they rely on the TIPM to receive power.
  • If only the headlights are not functioning, it is likely that there is an issue with the TIPM itself rather than a blown fuse.
  • To check if the TIPM is malfunctioning, observe if other lights in the vehicle are operational. If they are not, it may indicate a problem with the TIPM.

Troubleshooting Headlight Issues

If you experience headlight issues in your 2012 Chrysler 200, consider these steps:

  • Inspect the Light Control Switch: This switch sends signals to the TIPM to turn the headlights on or off. If it fails, it may prevent the headlights from working.

  • Check for Faulty Connections: Ensure that all wiring and connections to the TIPM and headlight assemblies are secure and free from corrosion.

  • Replace the TIPM: If troubleshooting indicates that the TIPM is faulty, replacement may be necessary. To replace it:

- Disconnect the negative battery cable.

- Open the TIPM and disconnect any positive cables.

- Release clips securing it and remove connectors.

- Install a new TIPM by reversing these steps and programming it to your vehicle.
