Fuses And Circuit Breaker Problems of Dodge Ram 2500

Both low beam headlights are inoperative. I have a daytime running light module that I installed in 2007 which still operates both low beams at a reduced power, so the bulbs are both good. Both high beams are operational. I noticed that when I had the light switch in the on position on 3/26/17 after dark and turned off the engine with the headlight switch still on, that the low beams we're not on, but the other lights were on. The daytime running light module only powers the low beams when the ignition is in the on position. In researching this issue online, I found that this is a common problem with the 2006 model since it has a tipm which controls the light and other functions. The tipm does not have replaceable relays or resetting circuit breakers for the headlights which allow the quick and easy repair or automatic reset of the headlights. Since any little glitch may cause the tipm to shut down the lights there is safety issue since both low beams may go off at anytime for no real reason. I feel there needs to be a safety recall on these vehicles to replace the tipm with a unit that has a standard design like is found on other Dodge ram years. Please research the numerous issues with the tipm including low beams, fuel pumps turning off causing the engine to stop unexpectedly, etc. It's time that Dodge is made to replace the tipm with something reliable that does not pose safety issues. A recall is in order. If I did not have the drl module installed, I would have been without low beams when I was driving and switched on the headlights.

I'm having problems with my electrical wiring in my pcm and my circuit breaker where my fuses go under my hood. It makes real loud noises, it cuts off, to were I have to let it cool off and then it starts back up, and then it will cut off while in park. I was told it was my pcm module and my truck needed to be rewired!.

Headlights go on and off over every bump in the road. About 2 years ago I replaced the switch body to fix the same problem, I did not notice if the loom was already failing at that time. When the same problem happened again I investingated a bit further and found the center section of the wire loom was melted and deformed around 2 of the connectors. Testing with a volt meter indicates one of the connectors (green wire) is wired to the headlights. The wire also shows signs of excessive heat buildup. I suspect the real problem is a busted relay somewhere else, but havent searched for that yet. This is curiously similar to recall 99v024000.

Consumer states the listed vehicle is used for towing purposes, upon towing vehicle, the automatic circuit fuse blowed, causing loss of braking ability. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Control (braking) is lost to the 12,000lb tralier when the abs fuse blows, dealer unable to correct the problem.
