Six problems related to headlights have been reported for the 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Tl the contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. While driving various speeds, the low beam headlights became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuse panel needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 214,552.
The tipm needs to be replaced. The headlights went out on me driving to work at 3:00 am (in the morning) pitch black out. Almost wrecked or died. This is not something acceptable. There jhave been many complaints and nothing is being done. Dodge has a problem here and it needs to be fixed now!!!.
For more than 1 year, the tachometer in my Dodge ram has functioned intermittently. On 3/25/15 I noticed that the driver-side low-beam headlight bulb was out. I replaced the bulb without effect. My mechanic diagnosed the tipm module as the culprit for both the headlight and tachometer failure. He will replace the module, at a cost of roughly $1000, when a replacement can be obtained. It is estimated that it will be at least 4 weeks from the time of diagnosis before that replacement tipm will be available. In the meantime, I must drive my truck with only one headlight and then I will have to pay more than $1000 to have this repaired.
Driver side headlight stopped working. High beam works but low beam does not. Replaced bulb 3 times and still won't work. .
The total integrated power module or fuse box on 2006 Dodge rams has a known problem of failing. To replace faulty headlight circuit it will cost 1000 dollar because of this tipm. It has a poor design and Dodge should address this issue.
No incident prior to failure. Head lights failed while driven at night on the express way at 65 mph, given no prior notice that it will fail. Dealer was contacted and will be replaced.
