Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 RAM 2500 I HOOKED UP SOME TRAILER LIGHTS AND NOW I HAVE NO LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THERE IS NO CODES SHOWING ON REPAIR SHOPS READER (I HAVE NO DEALER AVAILABLE WHERE I LIVE). THE INTERNET HAS TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIPM AND HOW IT SHUTS DOWN IF IT DRAWS TOO MANY AMPS. WELL YOU WOULD THINK A FUSE WOULD BE USED FOR THAT AND NOT HAVE TO REPLACE A $1000 COMPUTER BOARD. RIGHT NOW I CAN ONLY DRIVE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS OR ONLY WITH THE HIGH BEAMS. CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OVER A $1000 TO FIX A FAULTY DESIGN. DODGE SHOULD HAVE TO CREATE A FIX OR REPAIR OUR VEHICLES.
