Six problems related to turn signal have been reported for the 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The turn signals will show reversed so when you turn on the left blinker, the right blinker will blink and vise-versa, or sometimes the blinkers will not engage at all. Sometimes it shows the opposite blinker on the instrument panel and sometimes it doesn't show the blinker on at all. This happens in motion on a city street when changing lanes, in motion while turning, and stationary while waiting to turn.
Turn signal, winshield wipers, and speed control has a mind of their own. Half the time not working the rest of the time the when signaling to turn right the right dont work then when signaling left the right side blinks instead of the left. The winshield wipers just randomly swipe sometimes when not even cranked and keys not even in the ignition.
Activated the left turn signal, and the right turn signal lamps illuminated (flashed) instead of the left side.
The contact owns a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. Since the end of may 2009, the turn signals have not been displaying the correct signal light. If the passenger side blinker is activated, the driver's side blinker displays on the exterior rearview mirror and vice versa. The vehicle was repaired, but the contact feels that this is a safety issue because near crashes have occurred. The failure mileage was 64,095.
About 30 percent of the time, my turn signals and flashers do not indicate the signal I want to give. During those times, when I indicate right it doesn't flash at all. If I indicate left, it indicates right. Also if I put on the hazards, it eather corrects the problem or it indicates left. This is very frusturating and provides a big safety incident on the road. I have noticed that I am not the only person that has had this before as it is a very common occurence on the web. It increases substantially during the fall and winter months and is almost not existant during the summer months. It also affects my wipers that when I have the lights on I can see that my vehicle is acting up because the wipers are at 1 detent less than what I am trying to provide. This makes it so I can't use the fast wiping position. Thanks for your help.
