LIGHT SWITCH CIRCUITRY BURNED INSIDE DASH AND CAUSED HEAT DAMAGE TO DASH AND WIRING INSIDE. VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR WIRING AND WHEN RECALL WAS COMPLETE, FUEL GUAGE AND TEMPERATURE GUAGE FAILED TO OPERATE NORMALLY. LIGHT SWITCH FAILURE AND IGNITION SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS BELIEVED TO BE RELATED.*AK
SHORTLY AFTER TURNING ON HEADLAMPS, ODOR AND SMOKE CAME FROM THE DASH. THIS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING A TRAILER. HEADLAMPS WERE TURNED OFF, BUT HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING DASH LIGHTS AND TRAILER LIGHTS TO TURN OFF ALSO. KEPT HAVING TO TURN THE KNOB LEFT/RIGHT NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET ALL LIGHTING TO TURN OFF. ALSO, WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED WITH THE IGNITION/HEADLAMPS OFF, THE BUZZER SOUNDS INDICATING THAT HEADLAMPS WERE LEFT ON, BUT NO HEADLAMPS WERE ON. I AM DRIVING A 95 DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL 4 X 4 AND PULLING A 23FT SUNDOWNER GOOSENECK HORSE TRAILER.*AK

WITH CAMPER ON TRUCK, FOG LIGHTS ON AND ALL OTHER LIGHTS, HEAD,LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, AND CLEARANCE LIGHTS ON AN ODOR WAS COMING FROM THE DASH. AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME A TRUCKER INFORMED ME BY CB RADIO THAT I HAD NO CLEARANCE LIGHTS OR TAIL LIGHTS AND I NOTICED THAT MY FOG LIGHTS ALSO WENT OUT. UPON REPLACING THE LIGHT SWITCH THE BLOCK WHICH ATTACHES THE WIRES TO THE LIGHT SWITCH HAD MELTED, THAT IS WHAT CAUSED THE ODOR. WHAT CAUSED THE OVERHEATING OF THE SWITCH I DO NOT KNOW. DODGE HAS A RECALL ON THE 3500 SERIES LIGHT SWITCH BUT NOT 2500.*AK
