03BIGRED · 11-19-2012, 08:06 PM

hey guys new here, just need some help. I was driving on the highway just now coming from work and all of a sudden my headlights and my fog lights went out

at the same time...i pulled over and put my hazards on, turned off the car and turned it back on to see if they would come back on..nothing

.. so then i proceded to check the fuses and they were all fine. i then went to check the high beams and they worked perfectly fine, the running lights and signals work fine also. please can anybody help me out on this its a 03 SRT 4 thanks!

Stock bulbs in both spots?

If not then your multi-function switch is probably toast unless you have properly wired a relay to supply aftermarket bulbs (HID's)

By looking at the schematic it looks like the circuit is fairly simple. Battery, Fuseblock, MFS, daytime running lights relay, and wiring.

both headlights and fogs are stock bulbs

this is so fustrating i just bought the car a month ago...no warranty and ive already had to replace the ignition cylinder today and then this happends tonight..do you think that while replacing the cylinder this could have caused this problem??

I don't think the cylinder would have caused the problem. The lights should work in the key off position until you run out of battery.

Check your fuse box and see if there is a DRL relay. If so then swap it with your horn relay and see if that works.

Best bet is to get a copy of the FSM and look at section 8-50-1, and go from there.
