Other than the headlight switch inside the van all of the rest of the headlamp relays and controls are inside the Totally Integrated Power Module, (AKA smart fuse box) along with the controlling electronics for just about every other electronic item on that van. They are not replaceable though as they are soldered to the control board. Unfortunately those units are very failure prone. They are also very easy to replace, but there is a big catch to replacing them. Unless you have a dealer level scan tool and know a few tricks you cannot install a used unit. You need either a new unit or an erased rebuilt unit. This is because the TIPM configures itself to the vehicle and once installed it cannot be rewritten.
Replacing it you remove the negative battery cable. Remove the top off the TIPM and remove the nut from the power stud, remove the power cable. Release the four mounting tabs and lift the unit enough to disconnect the wiring harness connections. Now you can remove it.
To install a new or remanufactured unit you reverse the process.
Prior to connecting the battery you need to be sure the airbag and power off draw fuses are seated. Then comes the interesting part. You turn the ignition key to the "run" position and wait twelve seconds. Do not try to start the engine!
The TIPM will collect the vehicle configuration and VIN data from the PCM and CCN (body module). After twelve seconds turn the key "off" and then back to the "on" position and verify proper vehicle systems operation ie: lights, horns, wipers, stereo, seats and all the rest. If they all work then great, try to start the engine. If it starts you should be finished.
But it is very possible to install a new unit and you lose a feature(s) like DRL's, fog lights, memory seats or other special options. Those were dealer enabled options and to get them back the dealership has to enter the purchase codes based on the VIN number and options ordered.
