Consumer Description

MY PARKING AND TAIL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. , FOUND OUT THIS IS DUE TO THE DESIGN FLAW OF THE ENGINE FUSE BOX AS THE CONNECTORS ARE EXPOSED TO THE WEATHER ELEMENTS , THUS SHORTED OUT THE CIRCUIT BOARD THAT SENDS THE A NEGATIVE SIGNAL TO THE PARK LAMP RELAY AT 86 ,. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS 500.00. DODGE IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS THE REPLACEMENT NOW COMES WITH A SPLASH GUARD PLATE TO HELP PROTECT THE CONNECTORS. IF YOU GOOGLE 2004 DODGE RAM PARKING LIGHT ISSUE , YOU WILL SEE THAT A LOT OF US HAVE THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM, THEY SHOULD HONOR THIS RECALL AS IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH OUT THE TAILLIGHTS,. *TR
