Headlight Switch problems of the 1997 Dodge Ram 2500

The contact owns a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact stated that the headlights failed to function properly. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it was found that the headlight switch had failed. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 225,000.

Headlights stopped working while driving at night. Headlight switch is not safe to handle load of electricity from the headlight and marker light wires. I have replaced switch 4 times and still same problem. Lights stop working because the switch melts and begins to burn. The recall for 1997 Dodge ram headlight switch should have been extended for all models built in that year.

Headlight switch shorted out, rendering headlights inoperable. A recall has been issued on vehicle's make and model; however, this vehicle was not included due to VIN.

The motorized exterior rear view mirrors moved to an inward position by themselves while the vehicle was in motion, this resulted in no visibility, the dealership replaced the mirrors but the problem recurred. Mirrors replaced again. Headlights failed. Multifunction switch replaced. Passenger side window won't go down when using switch.

Headlights will either flicker or go completely off while in use due to a malfunction in the headlight switch. This causes poor visibility. There is recall 99v024000, but this vehicle is not included in the recall due to VIN.
