2006 DODGE RAM 2500 Electrical System Problems

WHILE DRIVING, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OFF BY THEMSELVES. *TR

TURN SIGNALS WILL SWITCH BACK AND FORTH. IF YOU HAVE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON, IT WILL SWITCH TO RIGHT SIGNAL THEN BACK TO LEFT AND VICE VERSA. *TR

THE REAR DOOR WIRES HAVE BROKEN ON BOTH DOORS, LOSING ALL CONNECTIVITY TO THE MAIN POWER SOURCE. AS A RESULT, POWER LOCKS AND LIGHTS THAT ARE CONNECTED IN THE REAR CANNOT BE ACTIVATED FROM THE MAIN CONSOLE. THE DOORS HAVE TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY. THIS IS A KNOWN FAILURE WITH DODGE TRUCKS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE DEALER EVEN ADMITTED TO THIS BEING A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DOORS ON THIS MODEL.

I HAD A WIPER MOTOR FAILURE. MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE DODGE RAM IS THERE IS A TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE THAT CONTROLS WIPERS, LIGHTS AND OTHER ELECTRICAL DEVISES. ONCE THE TIPM SEES THE 5TH FAULT IT SHUTS DOWN WHAT EVER IS CAUSING THE FAULT. IN MY CASE IT WAS A WIPER PROBLEM. ONCE THE UNIT FAULTS IT HAS TO BE REPLACED AND PROGRAMMED FOR THE VEHICLE. COST $1264.56 FOR A WIPER MOTOR REPAIR. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN I PUT THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON, THE SIGNAL WILL START FLASHING AS THOUGH THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL HAD BEEN ACTUATED. SOMETIMES THE RIGHT SIGNAL STARTS FLASHING AS SOON AS I TURN THE LEFT SIGNAL ON. ON OTHER OCCASIONS I WILL BE STOPPED WITH THE LEFT SIGNAL FLASHING AND IT WILL INTERMITTENTLY START FLASHING TO THE RIGHT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. OCCASIONALLY NEITHER OF THE SIGNALS WILL FLASH. *TR

IN 2010 DRIVING TO GATOR NAT DRAG RACE THE WIPERS JUST STOP THEN IT HAPPEN ABOUT EVERYTIME I USED THEM NOW AND THE AC HAS STOP WORKING 863 00 FOR A NEW ONE IN JUNE OF 2006 AND THEN 600 00 DOLLARS MORE IN SEPT AND THEY SAY IT THE TIPM 860 00 DOLLARS MORE THE WIPERS STILL DON'T WORK RIGHT 170000 MILES AND NO ONES WANTS TO HELP THE TRUCK JUST SIT TO HOT TO DRIVE IN FL WITH GRAND KIDS AND NO AC I WILL NOT BUT A DODGE EVER. *TR

DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT NIGHT AND LOST TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ON TRAILER ALMOST CAUSED REAR END COLLISION. FOUND PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TIPM OR FUSE BOX. THE TRAILER WIRING FROM THE TIPM HAS NO FUSE AND IS SOME SORT OF RELAY AND CAN ONLY BE REPAIRED BY A DEALER. HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER DODGE TRUCK OWNERS. MANY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES CAN CAUSE THIS FAILURE DUE TO ONLY A 15 AMP LIMIT BEFORE FAILURE. DEALERS SAY THEY CAN DO A REFLASH FOR AROUND $100.00 AND IF THAT DOES NOT WORK THE TIPM MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1000.00 AND THIS WOULD BE THE CASE EACH AND EVERY TIME THERE WAS A 15 AMP OVERLOAD TO THIS CIRCUIT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS DEALERS OR NOT OPEN 24 HOURS OR 7 DAYS A WEEK AND ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE. THIS SHOULD...

DASH LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THEY HAD WENT OUT ONCE BEFORE BUT CAME BACK ON THE NEXT DAY. AFTER ANOTHER DAY THEY WENT BACK OUT AND HAVEN'T WORKED SINCE. *TR

I HAVE HAD THE ABS SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ON 5 OR 6 TIMES , TURN SIGNAL PROBLEMS- BOTH TURN SIGNALS WORK AT SAME TIME, A/C PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPRESSOR NOT WORKING AT TIMES AND NOW IS OUT ALL TOGETHER. ABS AND THE LIGHTING ISSUE IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM SINCE IT IS A 2500 TRUCK AND I HALL HAY , TRACTORS AND A 30 FT 5TH WHEEL TRAILER, PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHAT I AM DOING OR CAN I STOP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RIGHT DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL AND BRAKE LIGHT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS LOCATED AT THE INTEGRATED PROGRAM MODULE. THE DEALER UPDATED THE SOFTWARE FOR THE INTEGRATED PROGRAM MODULE BUT THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE INTEGRATED PROGRAM MODULE SHOULD HAVE HAD A FAILURE NOTIFICATION ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 05/24/12 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE SAFETY ISSUE IS NOT ONLY WITH THE TRAILER HARNESS PACKAGE, BUT ALSO ANY ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS ON THE VEHICLE, AS THEY ALL GO THROUGH THE TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). IF THE MODULE DETECTS AN OVERLOAD OR SHORT, IT WILL SHUT DOWN THAT CIRCUIT, WITH NO WARNING. THE CONSUMER HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FIVE TIME, TO HAVE IT RESET. UPDATED 05/25/12

FIRST INCIDENT MY TIPM MODULE WAS REPLACED DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN APRIL 2010, THE NEXT INCIDENT WAS ON 4/22/12, MY BRAKE LIGHTS QUIT WORKING WHILE I WAS OUT OF TOWN, DURING THIS TRIP I WAS TRAVELING HOME, I TURNED ON MY CRUISE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING, I HIT THE BRAKES AND CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT CUT OFF, I FINALLY HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE KEPT REVVING HIGHER. I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET IT TO TURN OFF . I MADE IT HOME THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THE TIPM MODULE HAS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, IF MY WIFE OR SON WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY TRUCK ,I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD'VE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THIS SITUATION, THIS IS GOING TO BE THE SECOND TIME THIS...

GOT A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET MY TURN SIGNALS FIXED IF I HAD THIS PROBLEM I DID HAVE THE PROBLEM BUT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, TOOK THE TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS TURN SIGNAL PROBLEM IF IT ISN'T HAPPENING WHEN THEY TEST IT AT DEALER IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF I AM SIGNALING ONE WAY AND MY TRUCK IS SHOWING A DIFFERENT WAY THAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A CRASH OR CAUSE ME TO GET A TICKET. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT JUST BE FIXED IF THE DEALER CAN SEE IT FOR THEM SELVES AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE THAT THEY WILL DO NOTHING IF THEY DON'T SEE...

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING CAME BACK ON AND WENT OUT AGAIN TURN SIGNALS OPERATE BACKWARDS TURN ON THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT COMES ON. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS THE TIPM AND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM, SEEMS THAT IT IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE TO ME THAT EFFECTS A LOT OF DODGE VEHICLES. *TR

SINCE AUGUST OF 2009, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY TURN SIGNALS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AT ALL TIMES. ISSUE: WHEN I TURN THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL ON THE LEFT SIGNAL COMES ON. WHEN I TURN THE RIGHT SIGNAL ON THE LEFT COMES ON. OCCASIONALLY, THEY DO NOT WORK AT ALL. *TR

DODGE HAS A BAD TIPM, WHEN A HEADLIGHT GOES OUT THE TIPM GETS AN OVER VOLTAGE SIGNAL AND SHUTS THE LIGHT DOWN SO IF YOU REPLACE THE LIGHT IT STILL WONT WORK, YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND GET IT REPROGRAMMED AND YOU CAN ONLY DO THAT TWICE AND HAVE TO GET A NEW ONE THAT COST $1000. *TR

WRONG DIRECTION OF TURN SIGNAL COMES ON WHEN ACTIVATING THE SWITCH. *TR

WHILE TOWING TRAILER BACK LEFT BLINKER AND BACK LEFT BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO WORK. THEN BACK LEFT BLINKER ON TRUCK STOPPED WORKING. . PROBLEM IS IN THE VEHICLES COMPUTER, DEALER ONLY ITEM THAT COST $712. SOME THING CALLED "TIPM". JUST TYPE IN BLINKER PROBLEM FOR DODGE RAM ON GOOGLE AND WATCH AND SEE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS HUDGE SAFTEY PROBLEM. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM, PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT ON THE LINE!!! THANK YOU *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2006 DODGE 2500 4X4 BRAND NEW IN 2006. MY TRUCK IS IN GREAT CONDITION EXCEPT FOR TWO MAJOR CONCERNS..MY A/C WENT OUT IN DEC. 2010 IT WAS REPLACED WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE ONE WHICH WAS IMMEDIATELY REPLACED AGAIN. DEALER DID NOT REPLACE THE FLAPPER UNDER DASH. I TOOK TRUCK IN NOV. 2011 THE WINDSHIELD WOULD GET EXTREMELY FOGGY AND A NOISE WOULD COME FROM UNDER DASH WHEN I PUT A/C ON HIGH, DEALER SAID IT WAS THE FLAP THAT WOULD CONTROL WHERE THE AIR IS DIRECTED. THEY WANTED 800.00 TO REPLACE A 34.00 PART. I TOLD THEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED WHEN THEY REPLACED A/C. DEALER SAID IT STILL WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ANYWAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN FOG GETS ON WINDSHIELD WHY DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE A PART IS RECALLED. I HAVE TO OPEN MY WINDOWS TO DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD....

TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN YOU PUT ON YOUR LEFT TURN SIGNAL IT WILL LIGHT UP AS A RIGHT TURN SIGNAL OFTEN AND SAME WHEN YOU PUT ON YOUR RIGHT TURN SIGNAL THE LEFT WILL LIGHT UP. MOST OF THE TIME HOWEVER MY TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT EVEN COME ON. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS ITS REALLY BAD WHEN I AM PULLING TRAILERS. IN RAIN STORMS AND SNOW STORMS MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL OCCASIONALLY JUST STOP AND ONLY HAVE 1 SPEED WHICH IS SLOW.... I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER ALOT AND JUST WAIT FOR MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO WORK AGAIN. *TR

THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HAS BEEN SELECTED ON THE STEERING COLUMN. IF THE LEFT TURN IS SELECTED THE RIGHT TURN LIGHTS COME ON AND INDICATE YOU ARE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. THE HIGH BEAM SWITCH DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. THE WIPERS ARE NOT RELIABLE EITHER. *TR

WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN AT A SAFE SPEED, WIPERS WOULD NOT COME ON, AND THEN THE WIPERS WOULD START AND STOP WORKING. WHEN I SWITCHED ON A TURN BLINKER, BOTH BLINKERS BEGAN TO FLASH. OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE ON BACK ORDER 4,000 OF THIS PART REQUIRED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SINCE 2009. DOES IT TAKE A LOSS OF LIFE FOR A RECALL TO TAKE PLACE? *KB

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE MEGA CAB THAT I HAVE HAD SINCE NEW. I HAD TO HAVE THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH REPLACED AT 40,000 MILES ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO, NOW AFTER DRIVING IT ALMOST ANOTHER 20,000 MILES IT IS DOING THE SAME THING. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PART OR DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE TO GET THIS REPLACED AGAIN? THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THE BLINKERS WILL FLASH THE WRONG WAY AND THE WIPERS MIGHT WORK OR THEY MIGHT NOT OR THEY MAY COME ON WHEN THE BLINKERS ARE ON. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN YOU ARE IN A LOT OF TRAFFIC. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS HALF WAY TO MY DESTINATION DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT 75MPH PULLING BOTH MY HORSES AND MY THREE HORSE TRAILER IN A RAIN STORM WHEN THE WIPERS SPORADICALLY STOPPED WORKING. ON THE HIGH SETTING THEY WENT TO LOW, THEN STOPPED, THEN STARTED AGAIN GOING FAST, THEN COMPLETELY QUIT POSING A SERIOUS HAZARD TO MYSELF, MY ANIMALS, AND ALL AROUND ME ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER AND WAIT IT OUT A WHILE UNTIL I COULD ATTEMPT TO COMPLETE MY TRIP. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE REPLACED THE WIPER MOTOR WHICH ONLY MADE THE WIPERS MOVE VERY SLOWLY. THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM, LIKELY QUITE EXPENSIVE, WHICH WILL NEED TO BE FIXED. MY TRUCK IS DRIVEN VERY SPARINGLY AND HAD ONLY 75000 MILES AT THE TIME OF WIPER FAILURE. *KB

I OWN A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 MEGACAB WITH 5.9 DIESEL ENGINE. THE AGENCY HAS RECEIVED THREE REPORTS OF IMPROPER TURN SIGNAL FUNCTION. THE COMPLAINANTS REPORT THAT MOVING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK TO SIGNAL A LEFT TURN CAN RESULT IN NO FLASHING OF THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL BUT IMPROPER FLASHING OF THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL. LIKEWISE THE SAME OPPOSITE IMPROPER OPERATION OCCURS WHEN MOVING THE TURN SIGNAL STALK TO SIGNAL A RIGHT TURN. THE INCORRECT FLASHING SIGNAL APPEARS AT BOTH THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR LIGHT AND AT THE EXTERIOR FRONT AND REAR TURN SIGNAL LIGHTING POSITIONS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE ON THE WEB AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. PLEASE ADVISE. *KB

WIPERS FAIL TO TURN ON OR GET STUCK ON INTERMEDIATE, TURN SIGNALS WORK ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE THAT YOU PLACE THEM, WHEN YOU PUT THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL ON THE LEFT WORKS. SOMETIME YOU CAN'T SWITCH THE HEADLIGHT FROM BRIGHT TO DIM OR VICE VERSA.

TURN SIGNAL MALFUNCTION, ACTIVATE THE LEFT SIGNAL AND THE RIGHT TURNS ON. ACTIVATE THE RIGHT SIGNAL AND NOTHING HAPPENS. SOMETIMES WHEN THE LEFT IS ACTIVATED BOTH SIGNALS WORK LIKE HAZARD FLASHERS. *TR

DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP AN INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION OF HAZARD FLASHERS AND TURN SIGNALS BEGAN . ON OCCASION, THE HAZARD FLASHERS AND THE TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT FLASH. AT TIMES, THE TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT CANCEL. AT TIMES, LEFT AND RIGHT WILL FLASH WHEN ONLY ONE DIRECTION IS SELECTED. FINALLY, ON OCCASION, THE RIGHT OR LEFT WILL FLASH WHEN THE OPPOSITE IS SELECTED. THIS CREATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHEN I'M EXECUTING A TURN AS OTHER DRIVERS DO NOT KNOW MY INTENTIONS AND I'VE ANGERED SOME AND HAD TWO NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS. I'VE NOT HAD NEED FOR MY 4-WAY FLASHERS, BUT WHEN I TEST THEM AT THE TIME OF THE SIGNAL MALFUNCTION, THEY DO NOT FUNCTION. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IN AN EMERGENCY ROAD SIDE EVENT. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED UNDER WARRANTY, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY RE-PROGRAMMED THE ECM. THIS ELIMINATED THE PROBLEM...

TURN SIGNAL WILL EITHER NOT WORK OR SHOW THE WRONG SIDE FLASHING (HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED), WIPERS WOULDN'T WORK PROPERLY OR AT ALL (GO VERY SLOW OR NOT MOVE AT ALL WHEN ON, CAUSING ME NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE WHEN IT'S RAINING HARD). FLASHERS WON'T TURN ON AT ALL. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I NEED MY FLASHERS, WIPERS, AND BLINKERS. REPLACED THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH AND ALL OF THE PROBLEMS ABOVE ARE FIXED. I STILL HAVE THE OLD SWITCH AND I HAVE HEARD IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 TRUCK WITH APPROXIMATELY 57000 MILES ON IT AND IT STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY WITH THE LIGHTS AND WIPERS AND NOW THE BATTERY COMPLETELY GOES DEAD. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND CHECKED FOR DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. IN SPITE OF TURNING EVERYTHING OFF AND UNPLUGGING ANYTHING WHICH WOULD CAUSE A DRAIN ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IT STILL MADE A NEW BATTERY GO DEAD. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT WHEN THE WIPERS ACT SO FUNNY AND THE DIMMER SWITCH FAILS TO LOWER THE BEAMS. IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AT A CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND REPAIR ANY DEFECT IN MATERIALS FOR THE TRUCK WITH THAT FEW MILES ON IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD ILLUMINATE SPORADICALLY WITHOUT BEING ACTIVATED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH NEEDED REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

2500 2006 DODGE TRUCK, MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH CONTROLS WIPER FUNCTION WILL STOP WORKING DURING RAINSTORMS WHILE DRIVING, RESULTING IN A DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD, DODGE NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL NOW! I HAVE HAD 2 NEAR MISSES! *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD PROVIDE ERRONEOUS WARNING INDICATIONS. THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ALSO INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE HIMSELF AND LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE POWER CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 150,000.

THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHT WILL SOMETIMES NOT WORK OR WORK BY ITSELF, THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS WILL SOME TIMES NOT WORK, THE TRUCK HAS 200,000 MILES ON IT THE PROBLEM AT THIS STAGE HAS NOT BE CORRECTED. *TR

TPIM FAILURE CAUSING LOSS OF TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER LIGHTS AND TRAILER LIGHTS STAY ON AFTER KEY IS TURNED OFF. THERE HASN'T BEEN AN ACCIDENT AS OF 4/12/11. *TR

2006 DODGE 2500. WHEN TURNING ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL, BOTH INDICATORS ON THE DASH WILL FLICKER AND THE RIGHT INDICATOR ON THE VEHICLE WILL ACTUALLY BE WORKING INSTEAD OF THE LEFT. THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IT IS NOW THAT I DO NOT UTILIZE TURN SIGNALS FOR FEAR THAT VEHICLES WILL MIS INTERPRET INTENTIONS AND CAUSE VEHICLE ACCIDENT. WENT TO DEALER AND THEY ARE AWARE OF ISSUE RECOMMENDING TURN SWITCH. *TR

TRYING TO MERG ONTO A HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN MY VEHICLES BLINKERS, LIGHT ADJUSTMENT, AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT ACTIVATE. THIS EVENT DIDN'T RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT BUT IS A DANGEROUS RESULT OF A POORLY DESIGNED MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH THAT CONTROLS BLINKERS AND WINDSHEILD WIPERS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED PREVIOUSLY BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT FOR MYSELF OR OTHER TO COME INTO HARM AS IT DID TODAY. *TR

THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL SWITCH WAS TURNED ON TO THE RIGHT AND AFTER THE TURN IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO SHUT OFF BY SWITCHING ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS. THROUGHOUT THE NEXT FEW DAYS THIS OCCURRED MULIPLE TIMES AND EACH TIME THE BLINKERS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE BLINKERS TO SHUT OFF BY CHANGING THE ANGLE OF THE ADJUSTABLE STEERING COLUMN.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE FOR 2.5 YEARS. THE WARRANTY DON'T COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE MODULE. *TR

THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ACTIVATES THE OPPOSITE OR BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNALS. *TR

TL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THE TIPM HAS MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING EVERY ELECTRICAL COMPONENT NOT TO WORK. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAS NOT HAD THE TIPM REPLACED. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE TIPM TO MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT STATED THERE IS KNOW WAY OF TELLING IF THE NEW TIPM WILL NOT MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE TIPM AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 185,000. JO

2006 DODGE 2500 / TURN SIGNAL PROBLEMS. *TR

TURN SIGNAL INTERMITTENTLY FAILS OR SIGNALS THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

I HAVE 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 TRX4, I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY RT REAR TURN SIGNAL APPROX 2 MONTHS AGO. THOUGHT IT WAS BULB, WASN'T! I TOOK TRUCK TO LOCAL AUTO ELECTRIC SHOP, WAS TOLD ON DEC 14TH, 2010 THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE ENTIRE FUSE BLOCK THAT CONTROLS THE TURN SIGNALS. HE CALLED DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WOULD RUN OVER $700 AND THAT THERE WERE 200 ALREADY ON BACK-ORDER! NOW, JAN 3RD, 2011 WHEN I PUSH ON BRAKE THE RT REAR LIGHT FLICKERS/FLASHES AS IF THE TURN SIGNAL IS WORKING. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT $700 PLUS LABOR IS ACCEPTABLE FROM DODGE, AND EVEN IF I ORDERED THE PART THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHEN IT WOULD DELIVER DUE TO LARGE BACK LOG ON THEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND I THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED BY...

2006 DODGE RAM 2500 TURN SIGNALS DON'T WORK PART TIME AND PART TIME TURN ON THE WRONG SIGNAL LIKE TURN ON LEFT AND IT TURNS ON THE RIGHT, ALSO THE WIPERS WON'T TURN ON SOME TIMES AND THEN WON'T TURN ON PAST SLOW WIPE, WHEN YOU TURN ON THE BRIGHTS IT TURNS ON THE WASHER AND WIPERS, I UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE SAME SWITCH, THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH, DODGE HAS REDESIGNED IT NOW TWICE ACCORDING TO A DEALER BUT HAS NOT RECALLED IT AND CHARGES HIGH DOLLARS TO FIX IT UP TO $700.00 THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO WHAT IS THE HANG UP FOR THE RECALL? *TR

THIS HAS ACCURED SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE USING TURN SIGNALS.WHILE DRIVING I TURN ON THE LEFT SIGNAL AND THE RIGHT ONE SEEMS TO COME ON AND THEN AT TIMES THEY WILL JUST ALL BLINK ON AND OFF. THEN AT OTHER TIMES WHILE USING THE TURN SIGNALS. THE LIGHTS GO FAST THEN GOES OUT. I FEEL THIS IS A IMPORTANT AND MAJOR SAFTEY FEATURE OF THIS VEHICLE/ TRUCK. I WENT AND ASK THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE ADVISOR SAID HE NEVER HEARD OF IT. AND FURTHER THAT WARRANTY WAS OUT AT 36000 MILES. I WAS IN THE BELIEF . THAT SAFETY ITEMS ON NEW VEHICLES WERE COVERED FOR 5 YEARS 100000 MILES... THIS PROBLEM WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT. THE ? IS WHEN...PLEASE RECALL THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT WHILE TURNING DUE TO THE FROM A FAULTY TURN SIGNAL THAT HES BEEN FOUND ON THE 2006 DODGE...

WHEN TURN SIGNAL IS USED, VEHICLE SIGNALS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. LAST TIME MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND THERE WAS NO ISSUE UNTIL NOW. PREVIOUS MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH WAS REPLACED APPROX 1 YEAR AGO.

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE MEGACAB 2500 I RECENTLY PURCHASED. THE TURN SIGNAL MULTISWITCH HAS A MALFUNCTION WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. WHEN I TURN MY LEFT BLINKER ON, THE RIGHT SIGNAL WILL ALSO BLINK AND VICE VERSA. THE IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE MEGA CAB 2500 4X4 SLT WITH ~53K MILES ON IT. ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH USING MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL. DURING LIGHT MOMENTARY AND FULL LEFT TURN SIGNAL ACTUATION, MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WOULD COME ON AND THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WOULD NOT COME ON. THE OCCURRENCES HAPPEN AT RANDOM TIMES AND FOR RANDOM DURATIONS OF TIME. I USUALLY FIDDLE WITH THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER TO GET THE LEFT SIGNAL TO WORK AFTER I NOTICE THE INCORRECT FLASHING OF THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL. THIS SURELY HAS RAISED MY CHANCES OF BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AS OTHER DRIVERS INTERPRET THIS TO MEAN I HAVE CHANGE MY INTENT TO TURN OR AM CONFUSED OR POSSIBLY IMPAIRED. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND I WILL REPAIR THIS AT MY OWN COST TO AVOID PUTTING MYSELF IN DANGER. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REPORTS...

NORMAL DRIVING, NO RAIN, DAYLIGHT HOURS. OUTSIDE TEMP. WAS APPROX. 85 DEG F. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACTIVATE LEFT TURN SIGNAL FOR A LANE CHANGE, THE SIGNAL WOULD NOT ACTIVATE, WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACTIVATE IT AGAIN, THE RIGHT SIGNAL ACTIVATED. DURING THE DURATION OF MY TRIP I WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THIS PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES, AFFECTING BOTH SIDES. I WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE BOTH AT REST AND STATIONARY, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. I HAVE NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE AT THIS TIME, BUT PLAN TO REPLACE THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER WHEN HE DISCOVERED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE INOPERABLE. WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS WERE ACTIVATED, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD ENGAGE. IN ADDITION, WHEN ACTIVATING THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, THE LEFT INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD FLASH INSTEAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A CRASH BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 107,000.
