ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2004 DODGE RAM 1500 I'VE BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE THE TRUCK HAD 90000 MILES ON IT ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT AND NOT TURNING BACK ON. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S THE HEADLIGHT MODULE AND I REPLACED IT WITH A NEW AFTERMARKET ONE BUT THE TRUCKS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I WAS DRIVING AND THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AND I COULDN'T SEE AND HIT A DEER AT 20MPH ON A BACK ROAD . POLICE WERE NOT CALLED BECAUSE THE DAMAGE WAS ONLY THE BUMPER . BUT IF THIS DOESN'T GET FIXED SOMEONE COULD GET HURT AS WITHOUT LIGHT YOU CAN'T SEE TO DRIVE AND THE LIGHTS WON'T COME BACK ON. THIS IS JUST LIKE THE FORD RECALL I RECEIVED FOR MY CAR... *TR
