Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE DAKOTA CLUB CAB 4.7L V8 4X4 WITH AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. AFTER THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, ALL LIGHTS BEGIN TO FLASH. IT STARTS OUT A FEW TIMES A MINUTE, THEN THEY PROCEED TO FLASH CONTINUOUSLY. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING AT NIGHT, THEY ARE FLASHING TO A POINT THAT MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. THIS INCLUDES THE HEADLIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, AND DASH LIGHTS. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, THE LIGHTS CONTINUE TO FLASH. IF THE VEHICLE IS OFF FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY, THEN RETURN AFTER DRIVING FOR ANOTHER 20 MINUTES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THIS TYPE OF ISSUE.*AK
