Headlights, when I turned on my headlights they flashed and went off while I was driving at night I had to stop dead in the middle of the road because I could not see. The next day when I went to get the truck I turned them on during the day and smelled something burning, I assume it was the lights.

I was driving my 1994 dodge ram 1500 on the morning of march 24, 2007 when smoke came out of the dash. The running lights, taill ights and dash lights then went out. I was drving in the fog, and it was not yet light out. Fortunately, I still had headlights. The headlamp switchwas bad and the wiring connector melted. I have not had it fixed yet. Itwas the exact condition described in recall #99v024000 , except that my truck was a 1500, not a 3500. I had to replace the switch for this same thing a little over a year ago, and I'm sure that I am not the only one that has experienced it.

Headlight switch would overheat and would cause the headlights to flicker off and on. Consumer had managed to pull over, and tried to flick headlights back on.

Owner was informed that the switch had been upgraded, and replacement part would cost $102. 46, plus $65.00 labor. Switch has not been replaced.
