Consumer Description

THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH MY 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 . WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT SOMETIMES WHEN YOU SWITCH THE HEADLIGHT FROM LOW BEAM TO HIGH BEAM THEY WILL COMPLETELY GO OUT OR ONE SIDE WILL GO OUT. ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN YOU TURN ON YOUR LEFT BLINKER YOUR RIGHT BLINKER WILL COME ON. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS FROM HAULING TRAILERS WITH BAD WIRING. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A TRAILER THAT IS NOT CONNECTED TO MY TRUCK CAN EFFECT THE LIGHTS. MY TRUCK IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM. (YOU MUST HAVE A CHRYSLER COMPUTER TO SEE WHAT THE CONTROLLER IS DOING) I THOUGHT THERE WERE LAWS TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM MANUFACTURERS OF CARS THAT PREVENTED THEM FROM MAKING CONTROL SYSTEMS THAT CONSUMERS COULD NOT ACCESS. *TR
