Three problems related to electrical system have been reported for the 1998 Dodge Ram 3500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
At least the third time I have replace the headlight switch, twice the harness because it melted together. And now today having to replace marker wire (green with white stripe) and it is to hot to touch, the wire has gone stiff and hard and I am afraid it will cause a fire this time.
Dashboard cracked and caved in when I hit a bump while driving approx 68 mph on the freeway (I- 15 northbound through las vegas). Plastic falling into the dashboard area disconnected several wires causing the headlights to go out as well as several other electrical accessories. Freeway was well lit enough for me to stop safely and call for assistance.
The electrical wires became very hot and melted, and shorted out the head light switch and disabled the parking lights.
