ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
RECURRENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES, THAT DO NOT INVOLVE BLOWN FUSES OR BULBS. ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC CODES HAVE INDICATED TIPM PROBLEMS AND I HAVE HAD TO "ERASE CODES" TO RESTORE FUNCTIONALITY. THEN 2-3 MONTHS LATER RECURRENT PROBLEMS, ABNORMAL CODES AND ERASURE RESTORES FUNCTION. CODE DESCRIPTION INDICATES THAT THE TIPM WILL ONLY ALLOW 6 OR 8 RESETS ( DO NOT RECALL EXACT NUMBER) BEFORE TIPM WILL 'LOCK UP' AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. DESCRIPTION OF EPISODES: > RECURRENT MALFUNCTION OF INSTRUMENT LIGHTS. SUDDENLY ALL DASH LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS SHUT OFF, YET BRAKE LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS AND HAZARD LIGHTS REMAIN ON. HOWEVER, FOG LIGHTS CANNOT BE TURNED OFF, EVEN AFTER HEADLIGHTS OFF. THE DASH LIGHTS THEN FLASHED 4 TIMES, REMAINED OUT 2-3 MINS THEN FLASHED 4 TIMES. IN ADDITION TO THE LIGHTING PROBLEMS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN MISFIRING AND EVENTUALLY STALLED. WOULD NOT RESTART. ACTED LIKE NO SPARK AVAILABLE TO CYLINDERS. 5 MINS LATER, TRUCK STARTED HOWEVER DASH LIGHTS STILL OUT AND THEN INTERMITTENTLY FLASHING. I DROVE HOME USING HAZARD LIGHTS AS I HAD NO TAIL LIGHTS. SIMILAR EPISODE AS ABOVE HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. > OTHER EPISODES OF TAIL LIGHT MALFUNCTION ALONG WITH INTERMITTENT LACK OF POWER TO RADIO.
