I had the same problem on a 1997 villager but on the driver side headlight. If the headlight fuses, headlight lamps and both headlight relays are good then your problem is probably the headlight switch. That was my problem. The Haynes Repair Manual has excellent wiring information for this vehicle. Either buy one or check one out from the public library. Remove your headlight switch and test it with a volt ohm meter using guidance in the Haynes Manual. If that is the problem I would suggest buying one from the junk yard for 10-15 dollars. Otherwise, the dealer wants $270. and the parts houses want 95-130 dollars.
