2006 DODGE RAM 2500 Exterior Lighting Problems

Steering linkage and tie rod issues. Steering not working properly. I see that my vehicle is not listed in the recalls. Although. I am having steering issues. Constant tail light replacing.

Headlights- the passenger side headlight would come on then go off whenever it wants to and now the low beam does not work. I have tested the connection and replaced the bulb several times and still does not work. When driving at night it makes it difficult to see. And is also against the law to not having working headlights. Trailer lights- the drivers side brake light/blinker on any trailer that’s hooked to my truck does not work. I have taken it the a local shop (street dynamics which is out of business now) several times over the last 5 years to see if they can fix the issue. The fix was to put a jumper wire from the truck brake light to the trailer connector. I still do not have a blinker on the driver side of the trailer. Windshield wipers- the windshield wipers will come on and off whenever they want. Some times when it is raining they will turn on with the switch then will turn off while driving or will stay on after the switch is turned off. The switch has been replaced and did not change anything. It is dangerous to drive the truck during inclement weather. I am a Police officer and have been for 17 years. In the last 12 plus years I have owned the truck which is a 2006 Dodge 2500 I have been told by several dodge technicians and mechanics that the issues I’m having is being caused by the TIPM. While researching the tipm I have found out all of my trucks issues are similar to a lot of other people’s 2006 dodge 2500s. I have had issues with the trailer brake lights since I bought it.

1. The Panic Alarm randomly goes off without be activated by anyone. Possibly a TIPM issue which couldn't be investigated because it randomly went away. Maybe it will go off in the middle of the night in my subdivision. Who knows it's unpredictable. 2. Right Turn Signal & Stop Light would not work on the trailer. I confirmed that it wasn't an issue with the trailer but it was a problem with the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) Output (not working). The TIPM has a LONG history of intermittent electrical failures. This is a Safety Issue and a vehicle investigation for ALL vehicles that have TIPMS. TIPMS have been known to cause random vehicle stall & other intermittent random electrical failures and shut downs since 2006 when they were first put in vehicles. A RECALL is long overdue because this is ONLY 1 example of a minor problem. I've only owned the vehicle for 1 week...what's next? TIPMS can cause the vehicle to act intermittently crazy. No warning lamps or fault messages.

BLINKERS WILL TURN ON IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF WHAT LEVER IS APPLIED. RIGHT TURN SIGNAL COMES ON WHEN YOU TURN LEVER TO LEFT TURN. WINDSHIELD WIPERS RUN INTERMITTENTLY WHEN ON.

TIPM HEADLIGHT ISSUES. MY 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 HAS THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT THAT CONTINUOUSLY STOPS WORKING. I HAVE HAD THE TIPM CODES CLEARED NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS BEING HEADLIGHTS I SEE AS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY DODGE HAS NOT RECALLED THIS ISDUE. I HAVE READ IN MANY PLACES OF HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE.

NO HIGH BEAM NO LOW BEAM NO TURN SIGNAL RIGHT SIDE.

Mileage: 107,000

I HAVE TURN SIGNALS ON MY 2006 DODGE RAM 2500, BUT I DO NOT HAVE FUNCTIONING TRAILER BRAKE OR SIGNAL LIGHTS THROUGH THE FACTORY INSTALLED TOWING PACKAGE. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM NO MATTER WHICH TRAILER I AM PULLING. CHECKING FOR VOLTAGE STATES THAT THERE IS LOW VOLTAGE DUE TO THE TPIM. THIS OCCURRED AT 84,000. ALSO, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING THE IGINATION KEY CAN BE PULLED OUT. $1,000 IS ALOT TO REPAIR A TOWING PACKAGE AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG THIS WOULD LAST.

THE TRUCK WILL NOT POWER THE LEFT STOP LAMP OR SIGNAL LAMP ON ANY OF MY TRAILERS; HOWEVER, THE LEFT SIGNAL AND STOP LAMP ON THE TRUCK WORK PERFECTLY. DODGE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE TRUCK'S TIPM WHICH DOES NOT HAVE A FUSE FOR THAT PORTION OF THE TRAILER'S LIGHTING AND BURNED OUT INTERNALLY. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE TIPM WHICH COSTS $1026.00. DEALERSHIP ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH THEY HAVE SEEN BEFORE. THERE IS NOTHING TO INDICATE THAT THE TRAILER LAMPS AREN'T WORKING EXCEPT TO PHYSICALLY OBSERVE THEM. THIS TIPM ALSO CONTROLS NUMEROUS OTHER THINGS IN THE TRUCK AND INFO FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND INTERNET SEARCHES INDICATE THERE ARE MANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS OCCURRING DUE TO THEM MALFUNCTIONING. THESE ARE DEFECTIVE UNITS THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OVER $1000 TO MAKE A SIMPLE LIGHT FUNCTION, OR DEAL WITH A WORSE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 55,000

TURN SIGNAL WILL FLASH THE OPPOSITE SIGNAL THAN THE DIRECTION YOU DESIRE. EXAMPLE, TURNING ON THE LEFT TURN SINGLE WILL CAUSE THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL TO FLASH, AND VISE VERSA, AS WELL AS CAUSING THE EMERGENCY SIGNALS TO ACTIVATE. I AM UNABLE TO INDICATE TO OTHER DRIVERS MY CORRECT DIRECTION OF TURN WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC OR AT A SIGNAL LIGHT, STOP SIGN, MERGING, CHANGING LANES, ECT..

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE STARTED DYING THEN TAKING BACK OFF, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEED ODOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO WOULDNT COME BACK UP WHILE I WAS STILL MOVING, THEN THE ABS LIGHT THE CHECK ENGING LIGHT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT AND WASHER FLUID LIGHT ALL CAME ON AND I LOST POWER TO THE TAIL LIGHTS HEAD LIGHTS AND THE WINDOWS STARTED ROOLING UP AND DOWN BY THEM SELVES. WHEN I GOT HOME AND TURNED OFF THE TRUCK I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE TIPM AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THE TRAILER I WAS PULLING MUST OF HAD A SHORT AND THATS WHAT CAUSED IT. I TOLD THEM THAT I WASNT PULLING A TRAILER AND THEY CALLED ME A LIAR AND HUNG UP ON ME THE WINDOWS CONTINUED TO ROLL UP AND DOWN UNTILL THE BATT WAS DISCONNECTED. THE NEXT MORNING I THEN HOOKED THE BATTERY BACK UP AND IT ALL WORKED FINE. NO PROBLEM A COUPLE WEEKS LATER IT STARTED AGAIN FINALL FOUND A SHORT IN THE LIGHT CONTROL ON THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT REPLACED THE PART THAT HOLDS THE BULBS AND THE PROBLEM CORRECTED ITSELF. NOW IT HAS SINCE STARTED DOING IT ALL AGAIN BUT WILL NOT RESET ITSELF I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE TIPM WOULD RESET ITSELF FIVE TIMES THEN WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEH WAS NOT PULLING A TRAILER WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THE ONLY TRAILER I PULL WITH IT HAS THE LIGHTING PACKAGE WORKING FINE ON ALL TRUCKS I HOOK IT TO BUT NOT THIS ONE. PLEASE GET THE DODGE COMPANY TO RECALL THESE PEICES OF JUNK IM TIRED OF PAYING 1200 DOLLARS TO REPLACE A BUNCH OF PARTS TO FIND OUT ITS THEIR PIECE OF JUNK TIPM CAUSING ALL THE PROBLEMS.

ISSUE: LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS QUIT WORKING, AFTER SEVERAL REPLACEMENTS, INSTALLING NEW BULBS (LAMPS) DOES NOT REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS NO LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS, THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. NOT DRIVABLE AT NIGHT. TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) IS AT FAULT ACCORDING TO DODGE TECHNICIAN. THE LEFT (DRIVERS SIDE) LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WENT OUT IN 2007, I REPLACED THE HEADLAMP BULB. OK. THE RIGHT (PASSENGER SIDE) LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WENT OUT IN EARLY 2008. I REPLACED THE HEADLAMP BULB. OK. IN 2012 ,BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. I REPLACED BOTH LAMPS.OK. IN 2013, THE RIGHT (PASSENGERS SIDE) LOW BEAM HEADLAMP WENT OUT. I REPLACED THE RIGHT (PASSENGERS SIDE) LOW BEAM LAMP, BUT THE LIGHT STILL DOES NOT WORK. I TOOK TO SHOP, AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR, BUT COULD NOT LOCATE ISSUE. THEY SAID, NO FUSES TO REPLACE, IT HAS A TIPM MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE LIGHTING. IN 2014, THE LEFT (DRIVERS SIDE) LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. I REPLACED THE HEADLAMP BULB. STILL NO LIGHTS. IN 2014, I CALLED THE DODGE DEALER, SPOKE WITH SERVICE. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 DODGE RAM HEADLIGHTS, THAT IT IS PROBABLY THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) THAT NEEDS REPLACED. THE QUOTED COST OF THE TIPM WAS APPROXIMATELY $800 AND THE LABOR ABOUT $150. SUMMARY: MARCH 2015. THE 2006 DODGE RAM IS NOT OPERATIONAL EXCEPT DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. IT ONLY HAS OPERATIONAL HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS, NO LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. ALL NEW BULBS. I CANNOT AFFORD A REPAIR BILL OF ALMOST $1,000 TO GET A $20 HEADLIGHT TO OPERATE BY REPLACING THE TIPM . DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN MY OPINION. THE ISSUE JUST GETS WORSE WITH TIME, AND THEN, REPLACING THE LIGHT BULBS DOES NOT HELP. *TR

THESE TRUCKS HAVE BEEN SOLD WITH FAULTY ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS THAT DODGE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT WITH OUT COSTING THE OWNERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THE TPIM MODULE CONSTANTLY NEEDS TO BE REFLASHED AND REPLACED TO KEEP YOUR TRUCKS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WORKING. THEY HAVE DESIGNED THIS SYSTEM SO THAT THE CONSUMER CANNOT REPAIR OR EVEN INSPECT THE SYSTEM WHICH I BELIEVE IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW. ALL OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE ISSUES WITH THE MODULE AND DODGE HAS MADE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BECAUSE OF THEIR FAULTY PART. THIS MODULE AFFECTS LIGHTS, WIPERS, A/C, CRANKING SYSTEM ETC... THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT CAREFULLY AND DODGE SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE BLINKERS ARE ERRATIC. THE LEFT BLINKER COMES ON WHEN THE RIGHT IS APPLIED AND VISE VERSA. THE BLINKERS WILL SWITCH SIDES IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AND AT TIMES THEY WILL BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN RIGHT AND LEFT TURN. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL JUST TURN THEMSELVES OFF AT TIMES AND OR SPEED UP AND SLOW DOWN BY THEMSELVES AT TIMES. SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS AND A RECALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. AT THE MINIMUM A TECHNICAL BULLETIN DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE ISSUED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. *TR

SOMETIMES THE RIGHT SIGNAL STARTS FLASHING AS SOON AS I TURN THE LEFT SIGNAL ON. ON OTHER OCCASIONS I WILL BE STOPPED WITH THE LEFT SIGNAL FLASHING AND IT WILL INTERMITTENTLY START FLASHING TO THE RIGHT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. OCCASIONALLY NEITHER OF THE SIGNALS WILL FLASH. *TR

Mileage: 110,000

DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT NIGHT AND LOST TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ON TRAILER ALMOST CAUSED REAR END COLLISION. FOUND PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TIPM OR FUSE BOX. THE TRAILER WIRING FROM THE TIPM HAS NO FUSE AND IS SOME SORT OF RELAY AND CAN ONLY BE REPAIRED BY A DEALER. HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER DODGE TRUCK OWNERS. MANY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES CAN CAUSE THIS FAILURE DUE TO ONLY A 15 AMP LIMIT BEFORE FAILURE. DEALERS SAY THEY CAN DO A REFLASH FOR AROUND $100.00 AND IF THAT DOES NOT WORK THE TIPM MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1000.00 AND THIS WOULD BE THE CASE EACH AND EVERY TIME THERE WAS A 15 AMP OVERLOAD TO THIS CIRCUIT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS DEALERS OR NOT OPEN 24 HOURS OR 7 DAYS A WEEK AND ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE. THIS SHOULD BE A SIMPLE FUSED CIRCUIT AS IT IS WITH ALMOST ALL VEHICLES AND THE REPAIR COULD BE MADE BY SIMPLY REPLACING THE BLOWN 25 CENT FUSE FOUND AT ALL GAS STATIONS AND CONVENIENCE STORES. I HOPE NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED OR INJURED OVER THIS SAME TYPE ISSUE. *TR

BACK IN JUNE OF 2009 MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL AND BRAKE LIGHT FOR THE TRAILER STOPPED WORKING. THEN IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN FOR A DAY OR TWO. NOW THE HAVE BEEN OUT SINCE I TALKED WITH ONE OF THE MECHANICS AT THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS ALL ALONG AND THAT THE ONLY FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE MAIN POWER BOX UNDER THE HOOD. I STILL HAVE NO RIGHT TURN OR BRAKE LIGHT ON MY TRAILER. IF DODGE KNOW THAT THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THIS ELECTRICAL UNIT SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE UNDER RECALL WARRANTY. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OUT OF MY POCKET FOR A PROBLEM THAT THEY KNOW THEY HAVE AND REFUSE TO ADDRESS. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. WHAT CAN I DO OR WHO DO I NEED TO CONTACT TO GET AFTER DODGE SO THEY WILL REPAIR THEIR PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS THEY HAVE. IS THERE ANY LEGAL RECOURSE THAT CAN BE TAKEN SUCH AS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *TR

I NOTICED THAT MY DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS OUT, AND REPLACED THE BULB. AFTER HAVING TRIED TWO NEW BULBS NONE WORKED. THE LOW BEAM IS OUT, BUT THE HIGH BEAM WORKS. I PULL TRAILERS ALL THE TIME AND HAUL HEAVY LOADS. I NOTICED THAT IT AFFECTS THE LIGHTS ON MY TRAILER AND THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER. THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. AFTER LOOKING THIS UP ( FAILED TIPM) THERE ARE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE TRUCKS DOING THE SAME THING, AND A RECALL HAS NOT YET BEEN ISSUED. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS AN ARM AND A LEG TO FIX JUST ONE HEADLAMP. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, I NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND PAY $1,000+ TO HAVE IT FIXED?!?! I AM AFRAID THAT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT MY LIGHTS ARE GOING TO FAIL AND HAVE AN ACCIDENT! WE NEED TO GET THIS FIXED IMMEDIATELY AND CONSUMERS CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED AS IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND PART! *JS

GOT A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET MY TURN SIGNALS FIXED IF I HAD THIS PROBLEM I DID HAVE THE PROBLEM BUT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, TOOK THE TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS TURN SIGNAL PROBLEM IF IT ISN'T HAPPENING WHEN THEY TEST IT AT DEALER IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF I AM SIGNALING ONE WAY AND MY TRUCK IS SHOWING A DIFFERENT WAY THAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A CRASH OR CAUSE ME TO GET A TICKET. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT JUST BE FIXED IF THE DEALER CAN SEE IT FOR THEM SELVES AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE THAT THEY WILL DO NOTHING IF THEY DON'T SEE THIS PROBLEM AT DEALER BUT I COULD BE ANY WHERE AND IF IT HAPPENS IM SUPPOSED TO STOP WHAT IM DOING AND TAKE TRUCK OVER TO THEM AND HOPE IT IS STILL DOING IT WHEN I GET THERE OTHER WISE O WELL. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT I GET FROM THEM. *TR

DRIVER SIDE HIGHBEAM WILL NOT WORK. BULB IS GOOD, NO POWER TO SOCKET. IT COSTS $800 FOR A NEW TIPM MODULE PLUS PROGRAMMING. I CANT AFFORD TO THROW A THOUSAND DOLLARS AT A VEHICLE EVERY TIME A LIGHT GOES OUT. I KNOW THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE EXCEPT THE PRICE NOW I AM FORCED TO WAIT AND TRY TO FIX IT MYSELF. *TR

THE BLINKERS WILL FLASH THE WRONG WAY AND THE WIPERS MIGHT WORK OR THEY MIGHT NOT OR THEY MAY COME ON WHEN THE BLINKERS ARE ON. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN YOU ARE IN A LOT OF TRAFFIC. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE PULLING A TRAILER THE LEFT SIDE BRAKE AND SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY TIPM. THE TRAILER LIGHTS WORK ON ALL OUR OTHER VEHICLES. WE WERE ACTUALLY PULLED OVER BY THE STATE HIGHWAY PATROL BECAUSE OF IT. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE IT IS A COMMON COMPLIANT WITH THE 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 MODELS. WE WERE TOLD BY OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP THAT EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN AND HAVE IT "REFLASHED" BUT IT CAN ONLY BE DONE 5 TIMES. AFTER THAT YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIPM BUT THEN YOU START ALL OVER AGAIN WITH IT HAPPENING AGAIN. THE TIPM IS NOT EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THE TOW PACKAGE. *TR

DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP AN INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION OF HAZARD FLASHERS AND TURN SIGNALS BEGAN . ON OCCASION, THE HAZARD FLASHERS AND THE TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT FLASH. AT TIMES, THE TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT CANCEL. AT TIMES, LEFT AND RIGHT WILL FLASH WHEN ONLY ONE DIRECTION IS SELECTED. FINALLY, ON OCCASION, THE RIGHT OR LEFT WILL FLASH WHEN THE OPPOSITE IS SELECTED. THIS CREATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHEN I'M EXECUTING A TURN AS OTHER DRIVERS DO NOT KNOW MY INTENTIONS AND I'VE ANGERED SOME AND HAD TWO NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS. I'VE NOT HAD NEED FOR MY 4-WAY FLASHERS, BUT WHEN I TEST THEM AT THE TIME OF THE SIGNAL MALFUNCTION, THEY DO NOT FUNCTION. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IN AN EMERGENCY ROAD SIDE EVENT.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT $700 PLUS LABOR IS ACCEPTABLE FROM DODGE, AND EVEN IF I ORDERED THE PART THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHEN IT WOULD DELIVER DUE TO LARGE BACK LOG ON THEM.

ALSO I HAVE READ ON HERE OF OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SO HOW CAN I TRUST THAT THIS PART WONT DO THE SAME THING. *TR

2006 DODGE TRUCKS RUN THEIR TRAILER STOP AND TURN LIGHTS THROUGH THE COMPUTER IN THE TRUCK. ANY SURGE OR POP FROM HOOKING UP THE TRAILER WILL CAUSE THE LIGHTS TO NOT WORK. THEIR IS NO FUSE FOR TRAILER LIGHTS BUT THERE IS FOR THE TRUCK LIGHTS. IF YOU PLUG YOUR TRAILER LIGHTS IN OND TOUCH IT WRONG YOU NO LONGER HAVE STOP OR TURN SIGNALS FOR THE TRAILER. YOUR ONLY OPTION IS TO GO TO THE DEALER AND FOR 110.00 THEY WILL CHECK THE COMPUTER TO SEE IF THEY CAN RESET IT OR IF YOU NEED A NEW COMPUTER FOR YOUR TRUCK. THIS CAUSES YOU TO DRIVE AROUND WITHOUT LIGHTS SINCE YOU HAVE NO ABILITY TO FIX THEM YOURSELF. *TR

TRUCK WAS PURCHASED USED WITH 16000 MILES. AT APPROX. 20000 MILES, AN ANOMALY WITH THE TURN SIGNAL OCCURRED: A "LEFT" TURN INPUT RESULTED IN A "RIGHT" TURN OUTPUT TO THE SIGNALS (ASSUMED FRONT AND REAR). THIS WAS INITIALLY UNNOTICED BY THE DRIVER, AS TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WERE DENSE. UPON BEGINNING THE LEFT HAND LANE CHANGE, A CHECK OF THE LEFT MIRROR REVEALED A CAR OVERTAKING ON THE LEFT. UPON REVIEW OF THE TURN SIGNAL, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT LEFT AND RIGHT TURN FUNCTIONS WERE REVERSED. AS THIS EVENT OCCURRED IN DENSE TRAFFIC, THE DRIVER WAS FORCED TO NURSE THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPT TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. ACTUATING THE HIGH/LOW BEAM CONTROL (ON COMMON TURN SIGNAL STALK) RECTIFIED THE PROBLEM FOR THE TIME BEING. THE TRUCK WAS RETURNED TO ITS HOME ADDRESS AND THEN WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER TO DEMONSTRATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER ENTERED THE PROBLEM INTO THE SYSTEM AND A REPLACEMENT CONTROL ASSEMBLY WAS ORDERED. THE DEALER MADE NO ATTEMPT TO RETAIN THE TRUCK DUE TO POTENTIAL LIFE SAFETY ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEFECTIVE SIGNAL DEVICE. THE TURN SIGNAL SUBSEQUENTLY FAILED IN TRAFFIC, RESULTING IN A MINOR PARKING LOT ACCIDENT. THE TRUCK WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND LEFT THERE BY THE OWNER. UPON INSTALLATION OF THE NEW CONTROLLER, THE TRUCK WAS DRIVEN FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND SOLD. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THEY HAD REPLACED 4 OR 5 CONTROLLERS IN THE 2005 SERIES TRUCKS AND AT LEAST ONE IN THE 2006 SERIES. *NM
