The headlamps in my 97 Ram SST would shut off every time I tilted the steering column down. It was once repaired while still under warranty but started acting up again when the warranty expired. I found that the headlamp wire going into the directional/hi beam switch would pull itself out when tilted down & then plug itself back in when tilted back up. I wound up splicing in a new wire because the old one would not "snap" in place & stay connected.
