WIPERS FAIL TO TURN ON OR GET STUCK ON INTERMEDIATE, TURN SIGNALS WORK ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE THAT YOU PLACE THEM, WHEN YOU PUT THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL ON THE LEFT WORKS. SOMETIME YOU CAN'T SWITCH THE HEADLIGHT FROM BRIGHT TO DIM OR VICE VERSA.

TURN SIGNAL MALFUNCTION, ACTIVATE THE LEFT SIGNAL AND THE RIGHT TURNS ON. ACTIVATE THE RIGHT SIGNAL AND NOTHING HAPPENS. SOMETIMES WHEN THE LEFT IS ACTIVATED BOTH SIGNALS WORK LIKE HAZARD FLASHERS. *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. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED UNDER WARRANTY, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY RE-PROGRAMMED THE ECM. THIS ELIMINATED THE PROBLEM FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WARRANTY. SUBSEQUENTLY, IT HAS GRADUALLY RETURNED. I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE. PLEASE VISIT THE FOLLOWING LINK: HTTP://VLANE.COM/DISCUSS-TOPIC/1336/2006-DODGE-RAM-TURN-SIGNAL-PROBLEM. *TR

TURN SIGNAL WILL EITHER NOT WORK OR SHOW THE WRONG SIDE FLASHING (HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED), WIPERS WOULDN'T WORK PROPERLY OR AT ALL (GO VERY SLOW OR NOT MOVE AT ALL WHEN ON, CAUSING ME NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE WHEN IT'S RAINING HARD). FLASHERS WON'T TURN ON AT ALL. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I NEED MY FLASHERS, WIPERS, AND BLINKERS. REPLACED THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH AND ALL OF THE PROBLEMS ABOVE ARE FIXED. I STILL HAVE THE OLD SWITCH AND I HAVE HEARD IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL, EQUIPMENT, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 TRUCK WITH APPROXIMATELY 57000 MILES ON IT AND IT STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY WITH THE LIGHTS AND WIPERS AND NOW THE BATTERY COMPLETELY GOES DEAD. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND CHECKED FOR DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. IN SPITE OF TURNING EVERYTHING OFF AND UNPLUGGING ANYTHING WHICH WOULD CAUSE A DRAIN ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IT STILL MADE A NEW BATTERY GO DEAD. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT WHEN THE WIPERS ACT SO FUNNY AND THE DIMMER SWITCH FAILS TO LOWER THE BEAMS. IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AT A CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND REPAIR ANY DEFECT IN MATERIALS FOR THE TRUCK WITH THAT FEW MILES ON IT. *TR
