2006 DODGE RAM 1500 Exterior Lighting Problems

I'm always having issues with the airbag light coming on while driving it goes away then come back when there is a sudden move and causes something to trigger. also, I'm having issues with my headlight low mode not working I did a lot of research stating that many people are having the same issue and the problems have to do with the fuse box close to the battery. I'm also having an issue with the brake lamp going off on my dashboard not sure what that could be tried so many repairs and nothing seems to work.

HEAD LIGHT SWITCH WILL NOT TURN LIGHTS ON AN OFF, DOES NOT MATTER IF STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN HAVING SAFETY ISSUES OVER TIME. MOST RECENTLY HAVING OVER-HEATING ISSUES AND ENGINE PROBLEMS SINCE FEBRUARY 2018. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAPPENED SINCE LAST YEAR, DASHBOARD NO LONGER LIGHTS UP. MY ONE OF MY FRONT HEAD LIGHTS NO LONGER LIGHTS UP. IVE CHANGED IT SEVERAL TIMES AND IT STILL GOES OUT. MY DRIVER SEAT BEAT NO LONGER BUCKLES.

THE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT ON ME DRIVING TO WORK AT 3:00 AM (IN THE MORNING) PITCH BLACK OUT. ALMOST WRECKED OR DIED. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING ACCEPTABLE. THERE JHAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. DODGE HAS A PROBLEM HERE AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW!!!

TIPM ISSUE: LOW BEAM ON DRIVER'S SIDE WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT IN A RURAL AREA; AFTER BUYING 3 NEW BULBS @ $16/EACH WITH NO LUCK, HAVING SYSTEM SCANNED BY AUTO PARTS STORE WITH NO LUCK, TOOK TO A DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS A KNOW TIPM ISSUE AND WOULD COST UPWARDS OF $1,200 TO FIX, HOWEVER PART IS ON BACKORDER DUE TO THE NUMBER OF TRUCKS NEEDING THEM; FLASHING THE SYSTEM APPARENTLY WAS NOT AN OPTION; COMMENTED IT WAS NOT A RECALL ITEM AS IT WAS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. HOW ARE LOSING YOUR LIGHTS UNEXPECTEDLY NOT A SAFETY CONCERN, NOT TO MENTION THE REST OF THE ISSUES THIS TIPM IS KNOWN TO CAUSE AFTER THIS ONE...IT IS THE BRAIN OF THE ENTIRE TRUCK. I AM NOW DRIVING WITH HIGH BEAMS ON PRAYING THE REST OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IS NOT IN JEOPARDY WHILE TRYING TO RESOLVE.

FOR MORE THAN 1 YEAR, THE TACHOMETER IN MY DODGE RAM HAS FUNCTIONED INTERMITTENTLY. ON 3/25/15 I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER-SIDE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHT BULB WAS OUT. I REPLACED THE BULB WITHOUT EFFECT. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE TIPM MODULE AS THE CULPRIT FOR BOTH THE HEADLIGHT AND TACHOMETER FAILURE. HE WILL REPLACE THE MODULE, AT A COST OF ROUGHLY $1000, WHEN A REPLACEMENT CAN BE OBTAINED. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT IT WILL BE AT LEAST 4 WEEKS FROM THE TIME OF DIAGNOSIS BEFORE THAT REPLACEMENT TIPM WILL BE AVAILABLE. IN THE MEANTIME, I MUST DRIVE MY TRUCK WITH ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT AND THEN I WILL HAVE TO PAY MORE THAN $1000 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. *TR

MY TRUCK'S TURN SIGNAL HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND WHEN YOUR SIGNALING TO GO LEFT THE REAR LEFT TURN SIGNAL WOULD NOT ACTIVATE INCLUDING THE LEFT REAR FLASHERS. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THE DEALER REFLASHED MY TIPM AND IT DID RESOLVED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS THAT THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED BUT INSTEAD WHEN ACTIVATING THE LEFT TURN SIGNALS IT WOULD START WORKING FOR A COUPLE SECONDS BEFORE JUMPING ACTIVATING THE OPPOSITE TURN SIGNAL (RIGHTSIDE) ALMOST CAUSING A NEAR COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES OUT ON THE ROADWAYS. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND I DON'T HAVE $1,000.00 TO HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE MY TIPM WHICH I'VE FOUND VIA ONLINE ON SEVERAL DODGE FORUMS STATING THAT IT WILL DEFINITELY RECTIFY AND FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

WE WENT FOR A DRIVE TO MEDORA ND. WHERE WE SPENT THE NIGHT AND AFTER WE LEFT TO RETURN HOME ON HWY 94 WHEN I WAS PULLED OVER BY A STATE HIGHWAY PATROL. THE OFFICER SAID I HADN'T TURNED MY SIGNAL ON. I TOLD HER THAT I HAD AND WHILE SHE GETTING MY INFORMATION I WAS CHECKING OUT MY SIGNALS THEY WOULD WORK AND THEN THEY WOULDN'T THEN I TURNED ON THE LEFT SIGNAL AND THE RIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN IT TURNED THE RIGHT THE RIGHT WORKED FINE. I TURNED THE FOUR WAY FLASHER THE LEFT SIGNAL WOULD COME ON. WEIRD. WHEN THE OFFICER CAME BACK TO THE TRUCK I TOLD HER THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY SIGNALS. SHE SAID THAT I SHOULD TAKE IN AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. SO I AM NOW WAITING TO GET IT INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE REALLY MESSED UP NOTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD. I HAVE NOTICED AFTER DOING A SEARCH THAT MANY DODGE PICKUPS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I HOPE THIS WILL HELP ENCOURAGE A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THIS FIRST STARTED A FEW YEARS AFTER I GOT THE TRUCK WHICH I BOUGHT NEW. OCCASIONALLY WHEN I WOULD TURN ON MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL, THE RIGHT OR BOTH WOULD COME ON. THIS WOULD ALSO MAKE MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. DEALER REPLACED THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH. SAME THING HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. NOW ITS HAPPENING AGAIN. I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED 2 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS HAPPENING. NEXT, THE HEATER/AC ONLY WORKS THROUGH THE DEFROST VENTS. IN THE SUMMER WHEN USING AC THE WINDSHIELD STARTS TO FREEZE ON THE INSIDE. CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES. ALSO WHEN USING HEAT OR AC THE TACHOMETER BOUNCES AROUND NOT READING CORRECTLY. ALL THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CONCERN ME. JUST WAITING FOR THE TRUCK TO CATCH FIRE GOING DOWN THE ROAD!! DODGE HAS NOT BEEN MUCH OF A HELP. $300 A PIECE FOR MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH. $800 TO FIX THE HEATER. AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUR THE TACHOMETER. I HAVE SENT VIDEOS OF THE TACHOMETER MESSING UP, COMPLAINED ABOUT THE MILKING FUNCTION SWITCH. BUT NOTHING. ALL THESE PROBLEMS DEFINITELY AFFECT THE SAFETY. PLEASE HELP. LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT DOES NOT TURN ON EVEN AFTER REPLACEMENT WHEN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS IN THE ON POSITION. DEALER HAS DETERMINED THAT THE FAULT IS THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). PER DEALER MFG NO LONGER PRODUCES THE TIPM UNIT. PER DEALER AFTERMARKET NO LONGER MANUFACTURES PART EITHER. DEALER SUGGESTS WRECKING YARD, HOWEVER PART IS A COMPUTER BASED PRODUCT THAT STILL MUST BE REPROGRAMMED BY DEALER AFTER REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH LIGHTING, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WILL NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT THIS UNIT BEING REPLACED. *TR

TURNED ON TURN SIGNAL FOR A LEFT HAND TURN AND RIGHT SIGNAL STARTED FLASHING THEN IT FLASHED LEFT AND RIGHT THEN FINALLY LEFT. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SAME THING FOR EITHER DIRECTION YOU SIGNAL EVERY SO OFTEN . THE HAZARD LIGHTS FLASH LEFT AND RIGHT ALTERNATELY WHEN ACTIVATED ONCE AND AWHILE. *TR

THE PROBLEM STARTED IN 2009. WENT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AND COULD NOT GET THE TRUCK TO DRIVE OVER 20 MPH. WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO A DEALER CLOSE BY AND HAD TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY POSITIONING SENSOR REPLACED. SINCE THAT DATE I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THIS SAME SENSOR CHANGED 8 MORE TIMES. EACH TIME THE PRIVATE MECHANIC TALKS TO CHRYSLER AND THEY RECOGNIZE THERE IS A FAULTY PROBLEM WITH THIS PART AND WILL NOT RECALL THE ITEM. WHEN THIS SENSOR GOES OUT IT WILL NOT LET YOU DRIVE MORE THAN ABOUT 20MPH. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE ACCELERATED PEDAL POSITIONING SENSOR 4 TIMES. BLINKER PROBLEMS NOTED BY MANY OTHER CONSUMERS I HAVE ALSO HAD. WHERE YOU TURN ON THE LEFT BLINKER AND THE RIGHT BLINKER COMES ON. AS WELL AS THE A/C PROBLEM MANY CONSUMERS HAVE MENTIONED THE DOOR BREAKS AND THEN ALL YOU HAVE IS OUTSIDE AIR COMING IN. MY MECHANIC HAS TRIED TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS FROM CHRYSLER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER DOES NOT SELL THIS PART (PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THEY CAN MAKE THE VEHICLE AND NOT SELL THE PART TO REPAIR IT WHEN IT BREAKS KNOWING IT BREAKS OFTEN). TIE RODS HAVE ALSO BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK. NO MATTER HOW TIGHT THEY ARE THEY CONTINUE TO COME LOOSE EVEN AFTER BEING REPLACED AND THEN THE TRUCK WILL SHAKE. MY MAIN CONCERN AT THIS POINT IS IT INTERMITTENTLY WILL DIE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP BUT WILL DIE AGAIN AND THEN IT WONT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS AND THEN WILL DO IT AGAIN. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM YET. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANY SUGGESTIONS TO LOOK AT PLEASE ADVISE. *JS

THE TURN SIGNAL WILL INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTION, CAUSING THE RIGHT INDICATOR TO BLINK THOUGH THE LEVER IS IN THE DOWN POSITION WHICH WHEN OPERATIONAL SHOULD SIGNAL THE LEFT INDICATOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AS I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INSTANCES WHERE I'M POSITIONED IN THE LEFT TURN LANE ATTEMPTING TO EXECUTE A LEFT TURN AND SIGNALING TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC MY INTENTIONS ONLY TO HAVE THE RIGHT BLINKER ACTIVATE AND CAUSE TRAFFIC TO STOP ABRUPTLY IN THE LANE I JUST EXITED. I AM NOT ONLY EXPOSING MYSELF TO A REAR END COLLISION BUT I AM ALSO EXPOSING THE UNSUSPECTING DRIVER BEING INCORRECTLY SIGNALED TO THE SAME POTENTIAL FATE. THE INABILITY TO CAUTION ONCOMING TRAFFIC OF MY INTENTIONS ALSO CREATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION IN THAT MY TURN COULD STARTLE THEM CAUSING THEM TO TURN SHARPLY OR STOP ABRUPTLY.

MY 2006 DODGE RAM PICK UP HAS HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE WIPER BLADES COMING ON, OR NOT, SLOWING DOWN OR SPEEDING UP WITH OUT ASSISTANCE FROM THE OPERATOR. LAST WEEK MY TURN SIGNALS STARTED TO ACT UP. I TURN THE LEFT SIGNAL ON, IT SHOWS UP INSIDE AND OUT AS A RIGHT TURN, OR NOTHING AT ALL. MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS ARE NOT WORKING EITHER. I HAD TO TURN THEM ON AND ONLY THE RIGHT BLINKER CAME ON, THEN EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN.

MY NAME IS [XXX]AND I OWN A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK. AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK I NOTICED THAT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I PRESSED THE TURN INDICATOR DOWN TO TURN LEFT, THE RIGHT TURN INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD TURN ON. THIS HAPPENED ONCE OR TWICE A DAY. A FEW WEEKS LATER THIS WAS HAPPENING EVERYTIME I DROVE, ALSO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD ONLY STAY ON LOW SPEED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC, AND HE "RE-SET" THE SYSTEM. WELL, THIS WORKED FOR ONLY A COUPLE DAYS. I HAD PAID THE MECHANIC A LARGE SUM OF MONEY TO FIX THE PROBLEM SO I COULD NOT AFFORD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK. I DROVE AROUND WITH THIS FAULTY TURN INDICATOR PROBLEM FOR AROUND 6 MONTHS. THIS PROBLEM WAS SUCH A NUISANCE FOR ME, AND NOT TO MENTION ILLEGAL! EVERYTIME I TOOK A LEFT TURN I WOULD HAVE TO PLACE MY ARM OUT THE WINDOW AND TURN. THIS WAS SUCH AN EMBARRASSMENT FOR ME. FINALLY I TOOK THE DODGE RAM TRUCK TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THAT I HAD A FAULTY "MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH" AND THAT IT WOULD COST $263.00 TO REPLACE. SO I GLADLY PAID THE MONEY AND GO IT FIXED DUE TO THE UN-SAFE TURN INDICATOR PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS "TURN INDICATOR" PROBLEM, AND IT SEEMS TO BE THAT CHRYSLER HAD INSTALLED FAULTY "MULTIFUNCTION SWITCHES" IN THEIR 06 DODGE RAM PICKUP TRUCKS.

TURN SIGNALS OPERATE SPORADICALLY. MOVING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK TO SIGNAL A LEFT TURN CAN RESULT IN NO FLASHING OF THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL BUT IMPROPER FLASHING OF THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL. LIKEWISE WHEN MOVING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK TO SIGNAL A RIGHT TURN THE SIGNAL WILL NOT FLASH OR SOMETIMES WILL INCORRECTLY SIGNAL LEFT. THIS IMPROPER SIGNAL APPEARS AT BOTH THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR LIGHT AND AT THE EXTERIOR FRONT AND REAR TURN SIGNAL LIGHTING POSITIONS. ADDITIONALLY THE WIPER BLADES HAVE BEGUN FAILING TO OPERATE WHEN NEEDED. WHEN SELECTING AN ON POSITION ON THE TURN SIGNAL STALK THE WIPERS WILL SOMETIMES STUTTER ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD OR SOMETIMES NO MOVE AT ALL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME. THE VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN BUT IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. FACTORY REPAIR CLAIMS IT WILL BE THE SAME REPLACEMENT AT OWNER COST. THE PROBLEMS HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY, AND CAN NOT BE REPRODUCED AT WILL. OVER TIME, HOWEVER, THEY ARE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. *TR

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY, AND WHEN I SIGNALLED FOR A LEFT TURN WITH THE TURN SIGNAL, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SHOWED A SIGNAL FOR RIGHT TURN. I PULLED INTO THE LEFT TURN LANE, AND THE CAR WHICH WAS BEHIND ME AND CONTINUING STRAIGHT SLOWED DOWN AND REFUSED TO GO BY ME, EVEN THOUGH I WAS IN THE LEFT TURN LANE AND THEY HAD A CLEAR PATH AHEAD. THIS INDICATED TO ME THAT THE TAILLIGHTS WERE ALSO INDICATING A RIGHT TURN. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS, BUT THE NORMAL FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY WAS DISRUPTED. SINCE THIS INCIDENT, I HAVE WATCHED CLOSELY AND THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH HAS DONE THE SAME THING SEVERAL TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. WE LIVE NEAR A BUSY HIGHWAY IN THE COUNTRY, AND OFTEN WHEN SOMEONE IS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE TRAFFIC BEHIND WILL PASS ON THE LEFT. IF SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY MAKING A LEFT TURN, BUT THE SIGNAL IS SHOWING RIGHT, THIS COULD LEAD TO A FATAL COLLISION. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, AND THEY SIMPLY TOLD ME TO GET IT FIXED AND HANG ONTO THE RECEIPTS IN CASE THERE IS A RECALL. I ALSO FOUND THAT 2006 DODGE 3500 PICKUPS DID HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH FOR THIS REASON.

I FIRST FOUND THIS PROBLEM WHEN MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT COME ON IN A FLASH THUNDERSTORM WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH.

AFTER ASSURING HIM THAT I DID WE EXPLORED THE POSSIBILITY THAT MY LIGHTS WERE OUT - AFTER GOING THROUGH ALL THE MOTIONS WE CONCLUDED THAT MY LIGHTS WORKED FINE BUT FOR SOME REASON , MY TURN SIGNALS WOULD RANDOMLY DECIDE NOT TO WORK AND WORK AT OTHER TIMES FOR NO REASON. THE OFFICER LET ME GO WITH A WARNING AND A PROMISE TO LOOK INTO THE SITUATION RIGHT AWAY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH , I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FROM THE SAME AUTOMAKER - DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THEIR 2006 RAM'S AND REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE PARTS. I BELIEVE ( FROM WHAT I HAVE READ) IT IS THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH THAT NEEDS THE REPLACING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IF PEOPLE ARE THINKING THAT THEIR TURN SIGNALS ARE WORKING PROPERLY AND IN FACT THEY ARE NOT - IF IT IS CONCERN ENOUGH TO WARRANT A FAILED INSPECTION FROM A DEALERSHIP OR STATE MANDATED LAW , WHY DOES DODGE BELIEVE THAT IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR THEM TO REPLACE THEIR MISTAKES ?

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 AND THE TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THE TRUCK WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY BEFORE AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY CHANGES OR ACCIDENTS TO THE VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT. WHEN YOU TURN THE RIGHT SIGNAL ON, IT WILL BLINK A FEW TIMES, THEN THE LEFT WILL BLINK A FEW TIMES, OR IT WILL GO BACK AND FORTH LIKE A POLICE CAR. SOME TIMES BOTH WILL BLINK AT THE SAME TIME. SOME TIMES IT HAS A STROBE LIGHT EFFECT. MY TRUCK HAD 70K MILES ON IT WHEN IT STARTED AND IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY. IT MIGHT NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I TURN THE BLINKER ON, BUT IT DOES HAPPEN EVERY DAY. IT HAS MADE DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE VEHICLES WILL CUT ME OFF BECAUSE THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT MY TURN SIGNALS ARE TELLING THEM. IT MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO CHANGE LANES AND TURN AT INTERSECTIONS. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS EVEN WORSE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE DONE ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL TRUCK. THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND 500 DOLLARS TO FIX. I HIGHLY STRESS THAT THIS ISSUE BE ADDRESSED.

WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED, SOMETIMES NOTHING WORKS AT ALL. SOMETIMES THE WRONG SIGNAL COMES ON. SOMETIMES THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS DON'T WORK WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED. THIS OCCURS ABOUT 1 OUT OF EVERY 4 TIMES. IN RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I AM FINDING MANY OTHER DODGE TRUCK OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. I CONTACTED THE DODGE RECALL CENTER, INQUIRING ABOUT POSSIBLY RECALLS ON THIS AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NONE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH LOCATED WITHIN THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR AND IT IS MY OPINION THAT WITH SO MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH FAIRLY NEW VEHICLES, DODGE SHOULD REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SWITCH AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. *TR

THE TURN SIGNALS AND WIPERS ON MY 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I MOVE THE SWITCH UP, AND WHEN I MOVE IT DOWN, THE RIGHT BLINKER COMES ON. THE WIPERS DON'T WORK PROPERLY, AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T WORK AT ALL. THESE ARE ALL CONTROLLED BY THE TOGGLE SWITCH ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING COLUMN. TODAY 7/29/2010 I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A HEAVY DOWN POUR AND THE WIPERS STOPPED AS DESCRIBED. THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING FOR 1 AND 1/2 WEEKS. I HAVE READ ONLINE OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS, AND THE FIX IS A NEW SWITCH. *TR

TURN SIGNAL BLINKS OPPOSITE OF DIRECTION THE SWITCH IS ON. I WAS TURNING LEFT AND A CAR ALMOST HIT ME WHEN I TURNED LEFT. I NOTICED MY SIGNAL WAS BLINKING ON THE RIGHT INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH. I HAVE NOW NOTICED IT DOES IT QUITE A LOT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 AND THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCHES GO OUT VERY EARLY. IT CAUSES THE TURN SIGNALS TO COME ON IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION INTENDED, AND CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO SLOW OR CUT OFF COMPLETELY OUT OF NO WHERE. *TR

I HAD MY DAUGHTER OUT FOR DRIVERS TRAINING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING. WE PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND CHECKED FUSES BUT FOUND NO PROBLEM. I TOOK OVER DRIVING AND THE SIGNALS STARTED WORKING BY THERE SELVES. A WEEK LATER I WAS AT A STOP SIGN TURNING RIGHT ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL STARTED FLASHING ALTERNATE OF THE RIGHT FLASHING. THEN THEY STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK THE TURN SIGNALS STARTED WORKING AGAIN. YESTERDAY THE SIGNALS WOULD WORK ONCE AND THEN STOP WORKING UNTIL I WOULD RESTART THE TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE SIGNALS ACTED UP SO THEY COULD SEE IT. I GUESS IT'S TIME TO GO TO THE DEALER AND GET IT FIXED. *TR

DODGE RAM 1500 2006 - TURN SIGNAL PROBLEMS. ON OCCASION THE TURN SIGNALS SHOW OPPOSITE EXTERIOR LIGHTING WHEN USED. FOR EXAMPLE, TURN SWITCH TO LEFT OR COUNTER CLOCKWISE, THE RIGHT SIDE EXTERIOR SIGNALS WILL LIGHT UP. SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT WORK AT ALL AND THE HAZARDS WILL NOT WORK EITHER. THIS IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY HUSBAND HAS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500. HE IS IN IRAQ AND ONLY HOME EVERY 4 MONTHS. I DO NOT DRIVE HIS TRUCK EXCEPT TO THE MAIL BOX AND BACK ONCE A WEEK TO KEEP THE BATTERY GOING. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO THE WIPERS DID NOT WANT TO WORK. IT WAS NOT ALL THE TIME. WE THOUGHT MAYBE A GLITCH. THEN IT WAS THE BLINKERS. SOMETIMES THEY WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL AND OTHERS THE OPPOSITE BLINKER WOULD COME ON. BUT SINCE HE IS ONLY HOME FOR 2 WEEKS AND IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN ONCE OR TWICE WE DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT. NOW THE WIPERS WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL AND WHEN YOU TURN THE LEFT BLINKER ON THE RIGHT ONE COMES ON. I DID NOT REALIZE IT UNTIL I WAS NEARLY HIT BY SOME ONE TRYING TO PASS ME ON MY LEFT WHILE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I GOT ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THIS AND SAW THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME COMPLAINT. THE ONLY TSB I CAN FIND IS FOR THE DODGE RAM 3500. ALSO WHEN DRIVING OVER 50MPH THE TRUCK WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKES. THE HARDER YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKES THE HARDER THE TRUCK SHAKES. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, AND HAD THE ROTORS TURNED. THIS IS COSTING TOO MUCH MONEY FOR MAYBES AND IT IS SCARY WHEN YOU ARE ON THE HIGH WAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN THIS STARTS HAPPENING. *TR

TURN SIGNAL PROBLEMS. I TURN ON THE TURN SIGNALS AND EITHER THEY DON'T WORK OR YOU NEVER KNOW WHICH ONE WILL COME ON. SOMETIMES NOTHINGS WORKS AND OTHER TIMES YOU TURN ON A TURN SIGNAL AND THE 4 WAYS COME ON. TODAY 5/13/10 WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I WAS GOING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN,PUT ON THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL AND NOTHING WORKED,TURNED ON THE LEFT SIGNAL AND THE RIGHT ONE CAME ON..NOW I MADE MY TURN AND I CANT GET TURN SIGNAL TO GO OFF. DROVE THAT WAY FOR 5 MILES WHEN TURN SIGNAL WENT OFF BY ITSELF. *TR

I HAVE AN 2006 DODGE MEGACAB WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES SINCE WE HIT 34,000 MILES THE TURN SIGNALS WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL. RECENTLY MY WIFE WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND ACTIVATED THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR AND THE LEFT BLINKER CAME ON SHE WAS NEARLY HIT BY A FAST APPROACHING DRIVER FROM BEHIND. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP. AND FILED A COMPLAINT A REP CALLED ME AND STATED THEY WOULD BY HAPPY TO COVER THE COST OF THE PART IF IT WAS DEEMED DEFECTIVE BY AND AUTHORIZED TECH I WOULD HOWEVER HAVE TO COVER THE SERVICE FEES. I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT OUR CURRENT FINANCIAL SITUATION WOULD NOT ALLOW THIS AND IN ESSENCE THIS WAS A DEFECTIVE PART AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT SHE GAVE ME THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY WERE NOT CONCERNED THIS WAS AN ISSUE OR EVEN A SAFETY ISSUE. I STATED THAT THE REPERCUSSIONS OF SUCH SHORT SIGHTEDNESS COULD BE FATAL FOR SOME UNFORTUNATE CHRYSLER PRODUCT OWNERS IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY AS I HAVE NOTICED A GROWING NUMBER OF ONLINE FORUM COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS VERY ISSUE. ALL WE ASK IS THAT THIS ISSUE BE ADDRESSED AS A RECALL ISSUE AND REPAIRS BE COMPLETED SATISFYING CUSTOMER REQUESTS TO ENSURE A SAFER DRIVING EXPERIENCE. HERE IS MY REF #1974126 IN DEFERENCE TO MY COMPLAINT TO CHRYSLER CORP. *TR

THERE HAS BE A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT PROBABLY 100 TIMES BUT PAID NOT MUCH ATTENTION UNTIL THIS WINTER. THE TURN SIGNAL LEVEL IS ALSO USED TO TURN ON THE WIPERS ON THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM ARISES WHEN THE VEHICLE LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, THE WIPERS ARE ON, AND THE TURN SIGNAL ARE TURNED ON. FOR NO REASON THE TURN SIGNAL FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS THE ONE THAT OPERATES. NORMALLY WHEN YOU ARE TURNING TO THE RIGHT THE TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT TURN ON AND THE LEFT SIDE SIGNAL TURN ON. IN ORDER TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM I HAVE TO TURN THE WIPERS OFF COMPLETELY. THIS CAUSES A PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS IMPAIRS VISIBILITY AN ALSO IS GIVING OTHER DRIVERS THE WRONG SIGNALS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE BUT SINCE I RESIDE IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA IT IS A REQUIREMENT THAT WHEN IT RAINS YOU MUST TURN YOUR LIGHTS AND WIPERS THIS HAS CAUSED ME A PROBLEMS SINCE I DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE AND WHEN IT SNOWS OR RAIN I CANNOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE. I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALER TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT CAUSED ANY ACCIDENTS. SOME DRIVERS HAD GOT AGGRAVATED SINCE SOME TIMES I GIVE THEM THE WRONG TURN SIGNALS. THE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED MANY TIMES IN THE LAST 8 MONTHS AND I HAVE NOTED THAT IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT SINCE WE HAVE GOT MORE SNOW AND RAIN IN THE NORTH EAST I WHISH I CAN PROVIDE SPECIFIC DATED BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES THAT I GOT TIRED OF IT AND I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. I AM PUTTING TODAY AS THE MOST CURRENT DATE. *TR

TURN SIGNAL MALFUNCTIONS. WHEN LEFT TURN IS SELECTED, SOMETIMES RIGHT SIGNAL FLASHER COMES ON, SOMETIMES NO TURN SIGNAL COMES ON, SOMETIMES IT WORKS CORRECTLY. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. WHEN RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS SELECTED, RIGHT SIGNAL FLASHER WORKS NORMALLY. THE PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I HAD SOMEONE PASS ME ON THE LEFT WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN BECAUSE MY RIGHT SIGNAL WAS ON DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION. *TR

THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH WILL OCCASIONALLY BE FAULTY CAUSING A HAZARD WHEN TURNING OR SWITCHING LANES. WHEN SIGNALING A LEFT TURN THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WILL COME ON AND WHEN SIGNALING A RIGHT TURN THE SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY WERE ALL OUT OF THE PART AND WAITING FOR INVENTORY TO COME IN. *TR

I ACTIVATED MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL BUT NOTICED THAT MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LIGHT WAS BLINKING. THIS PROBLEM NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM OCCURS APPROXIMATELY 90% OF THE TIME (WHEN USING TURN SIGNAL). ALSO, MY WIPERS HAVE BEGUN MALFUNCTIONING (TURN SIGNAL AND WIPER SWITCH LOCATED TOGETHER ON STEERING COLUMN). I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM (VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY). *TR

MULTI-FUNCTION TURN SIGNAL/WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL HANDLE ON LEFT SIDE OF STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. THE DEFECT WAS CAUSING THE TURN SIGNALS TO FLASH RIGHT TO LEFT WHEN IN THE RIGHT TURN POSITION. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR JUST A DAY OR TWO AFTER NOTICING THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SERVICE WRITER SAID THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE SWITCH AND THEY REPLACED IT. THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY AND MY BILL WAS APPROXIMATELY $300.00. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND WOULD EXPECT FUNCTIONING EQUIPMENT FOR MORE THAN THREE YEARS/36000 MILES. MY VEHICLE HAD 35,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF REPAIR. I WAS NOT OFFERED THE OLD PART. *TR
