The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. While driving various speeds, the driver's side headlight would suddenly turn off and on. The light bulb was replaced on several different occasions, but the failure continued. The vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the tipm was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 146,000. The VIN was not available.
Tipm headlight issues. My 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 has the right headlight that continuously stops working. I have had the tipm codes cleared numerous times. This being headlights I see as a severe safety issue. I do not understand why Dodge has not recalled this isdue. I have read in many places of how many people have had this same issue.
The headlights failed due to the totally integrated power module (tipm). Research reveals that the tipm failed on many of the Dodge vehicles. This system failure is a safety hazard.
The tipm module failed and left headlight went out at night. Repair shop did temporary bypass left side tipm output for low beam. Headlights failed completely on both sides, high beam and low beam in August 2014. Replaced tipm assembly on 9/19/14, $924. 99 for parts and $112. 50 for labor.
I noticed that my driver side headlight was out, and replaced the bulb. After having tried two new bulbs none worked. The low beam is out, but the high beam works. I pull trailers all the time and haul heavy loads. I noticed that it affects the lights on my trailer and this is a very serious matter. This can cause an accident. After looking this up ( failed tipm) there are many many complaints about these trucks doing the same thing, and a recall has not yet been issued. The dealership wants an arm and a leg to fix just one headlamp. I contacted Chrysler and they stated that there is nothing they can do, I need to take it to the dealer and pay $1,000+ to have it fixed?!?! I am afraid that while driving at night my lights are going to fail and have an accident! we need to get this fixed immediately and consumers cannot afford to have it fixed as it is an ongoing issue with the same vehicle and part!.
While driving, the headlights will go off by themselves.
Headlight failure tipm fails to allow headlight to illuminate and costs $900. 00 to replace. Vehicle only had 51,000 miles.
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.
When driving at night sometimes when you change the headlights from low beam to high beam they completely go out and sometimes only the right high beam doesn't work.
Issue: low beam headlight bulbs quit working, after several replacements, installing new bulbs (lamps) does not repair the issue. The vehicle currently has no low beam headlights, the vehicle only has high beam headlights. Not driveable at night. Tipm (totally integrated power module) is at fault according to Dodge technician. The left (drivers side) low beam headlight went out in 2007, I replaced the headlamp bulb. Ok. The right (passenger side) low beam headlight went out in early 2008. I replaced the headlamp bulb. Ok. In 2012 ,both low beam headlights went out. I replaced both lamps. Ok. In 2013, the right (passengers side) low beam headlamp went out. I replaced the right (passengers side) low beam lamp, but the light still does not work. I took to shop, and they attempted to repair, but could not locate issue. They said, no fuses to replace, it has a tipm module that controls the lighting. In 2014, the left (drivers side) low beam headlight went out. I replaced the headlamp bulb. Still no lights. In 2014, I called the Dodge dealer, spoke with service. The technician told me that this is a recurring problem with the 2006 Dodge ram headlights, that it is probably the tipm (totally integrated power module) that needs replaced. The quoted cost of the tipm was approximately $800 and the labor about $150. Summary: March 2015. The 2006 Dodge ram is not operational except during daylight hours. It only has operational high beam headlights, no low beam headlights. All new bulbs. I cannot afford a repair bill of almost $1,000 to get a $20 headlight to operate by replacing the tipm . Dodge needs to address this issue in my opinion. The issue just gets worse with time, and then, replacing the light bulbs does not help.
