One problem related to dashboard failed has been reported for the 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Faulty instrument cluster fails, shorts out causing door locks to constantly unlock cycle kill battery & electrical failure causing engine to die. I have read countless stories of others with the same problem in 2004-2005 Dodge ram pickups. Dealership charges $1000 dollars to fix & admits it is a manufacturing defect but refuses to help. Fiat Chrysler automobiles customer service also refuses to help.
