The interior light stays on for mere seconds, then shuts off. This is the interior light that turns on when the door is opened or the push button to turn on is pushed. After a few seconds, the light shuts off.
2006 Dodge RAM 1500 lights complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 139, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Turn signals began to randomly blink on either side (or both sides) regardless which directional signal was being used. Code reader at dealership showed problem with tipm.
Driver side low beam head light does not work. Bulb replaced, continued to not be operational. Took to chrysler/dodge deal, who connected a 'code' reader which indicated the problem was the tipm. Tipm was not replaced due to cost & the vehicle was out of warranty due to mileage.
My truck's turn signal has malfunctioned and when your signaling to go left the rear left turn signal would not activate including the left rear flashers. Several months ago the dealer reflashed my tipm and it did resolved the issue temporarily. What had happened was that the same incident occurred but instead when activating the left turn signals it would start working for a couple seconds before jumping activating the opposite turn signal (rightside) almost causing a near collision with other vehicles out on the roadways. I am very frustrated and I don't have $1,000.00 to have the dealer replace my tipm which I've found via online on several dodge forums stating that it will definitely rectify and fix the issue.
We went for a drive to medora nd. Where we spent the night and after we left to return home on hwy 94 when I was pulled over by a state highway patrol. The officer said I hadn't turned my signal on. I told her that I had and while she getting my information I was checking out my signals they would work and then they wouldn't then I turned on the left signal and the right would come on when it turned the right the right worked fine. I turned the four way flasher the left signal would come on. Weird. When the officer came back to the truck I told her there is something wrong with my signals. She said that I should take in and have it checked out. So I am now waiting to get it into the dodge dealership. They are really messed up nothing works as it should. I have noticed after doing a search that many dodge pickups have the same issue. I hope this will help encourage a recall for this vehicle.
Wire harness in rear driver side door was found completely severed inside boot from frame to door. Effects window, door locks, dome light operation, and speaker. Presence of voltage can cause fire if aching occurs.
This first started a few years after I got the truck which I bought new. Occasionally when I would turn on my left turn signal, the right or both would come on. This would also make my windshield wipers not function correctly. Dealer replaced the multi function switch. Same thing happened 3 more times over the next few years. Now its happening again. I have narrowly avoided 2 accidents because of this happening. Next, the heater/AC only works through the defrost vents. In the summer when using AC the windshield starts to freeze on the inside. Causing visibility issues. Also when using heat or AC the tachometer bounces around not reading correctly. All these electrical problems concern me. Just waiting for the truck to catch fire going down the road!! Dodge has not been much of a help. $300 a piece for multi function switch. $800 to fix the heater. And they can't figure our the tachometer. I have sent videos of the tachometer messing up, complained about the milking function switch. But nothing. All these problems definitely affect the safety. Please help. Lots of other people have the same problems.
Winding noise at low speed also have problem with head light it don't turn on (driver side ) directional door for A/C heather broken.
The passenger side headlight does not turn on even after replacement when the headlight switch is in the on position. Dealer has determined that the fault is the tipm (totally integrated power module). Per dealer mfg no longer produces the tipm unit. Per dealer aftermarket no longer manufactures part either. Dealer suggests wrecking yard, however part is a computer based product that still must be reprogrammed by dealer after replacement. This is a safety issue with lighting, and the passenger side headlight will not function without this unit being replaced.
Turned on turn signal for a left hand turn and right signal started flashing then it flashed left and right then finally left. It has been doing this same thing for either direction you signal every so often . The hazard lights flash left and right alternately when activated once and awhile.
When driving trying to change lanes I tried to signal right and my left turn signal came on then the turn signals were alternating back and forth. This has been happening on and off for quite a few years it will start working again then later break again.
The problem started in 2009. Went to drive the truck and could not get the truck to drive over 20 MPH. Was able to get it to a dealer close by and had to have the throttle body positioning sensor replaced. Since that date I have had to have this same sensor changed 8 more times. Each time the private mechanic talks to chrysler and they recognize there is a faulty problem with this part and will not recall the item. When this sensor goes out it will not let you drive more than about 20mph. Also had to replace the accelerated pedal positioning sensor 4 times. Blinker problems noted by many other consumers I have also had. Where you turn on the left blinker and the right blinker comes on. As well as the A/C problem many consumers have mentioned the door breaks and then all you have is outside air coming in. My mechanic has tried to get replacement parts from chrysler to repair the problem and chrysler does not sell this part (please explain to me how they can make the vehicle and not sell the part to repair it when it breaks knowing it breaks often). Tie rods have also been a problem with my truck. No matter how tight they are they continue to come loose even after being replaced and then the truck will shake. My main concern at this point is it intermittently will die while driving down the highway. It will start right back up but will die again and then it wont duplicate the problem for 2 or 3 days and then will do it again. Have not been able to diagnose this problem yet. If anyone knows any suggestions to look at please advise.
Right low beam fails to light. Bulb has been replaced. Socket is good. Failure is in tipm. Appears to be a common problem in 06 to 08 dodge trucks. Dealer charge $750 to $900 to replace and reprogram tipm unit. This is an extravagant charge for an item that should last the life of the vehicle.
Driver side headlight stopped working. High beam works but low beam does not. Replaced bulb 3 times and still won't work..
The total integrated power module or fuse box on 2006 dodge rams has a known problem of failing. To replace faulty headlight circuit it will cost 1000 dollar because of this tipm. It has a poor design and dodge should address this issue.
The turn signal on the vehicle began activating the wrong signal. At times the signal will not work at all. At other times it signals the opposite direction I am attempting to turn. The signal switch also controls my high beams and windshield wipers. Both of these are also affected at times by the problem. I am very concerned anyone of these issues could cause a serious accident.
The tail light function of the trailer wiring harness stopped functioning. Still have use of brake and turn lights. This is hard to catch on a visual test since I usually check turn and brake functions. Towed for weeks before I was told of the malfunction. Therefore cannot see trailer at night. Dealership could not fix problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While the contact was driving approximately 55 MPH approaching a turn, the right turn signal was engaged; however the left turn signal responded. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The malfunction continued to occur. The manufacturer was notified of the malfunction. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
While sitting at a red light turned on the left blinker and after a few seconds the blinker switched to blinking for the right both inside in the dash and outside at the front and rear and the indicator switch was still in the left turn position very dangerous has happened several time since date shown.
When the left turn signal is activated, immediately the right turn signal engages. The failure occurs intermittently. I've contacted the dealership and was told there is nothing they can do because the vehicle is out of warranty and manufacturer has not made a recall on my vehicle. This is extremely dangerous especially when entering the interstate.
Turn signals fail to work completely, or right turn signal will activate while using left signal or vise-versa. Headlights will fail while this "multi-function switch" shorts out. No wipers, no turn signals, no lights.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram megacab 1500 4x4. The contact was driving approximately 45 MPH and attempting a left turn when the left turn signal failed to illuminate. The failure recurred continuously. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem and they advised the contact there were no recalls related to the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. Updated 4/2/12 *cn the rear left turn signal did not activate at any speed. The consumer stated it was not a bulb issue, but a computer problem. Updated 04/13/12
My turn signals do not work at all I replaced the multi switch and still nothing I have been reading on different message boards that they have the same problem so any help would be very greatly appreciated.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact heard a loud grinding noise coming from the front passenger side wheel bearing while driving. In addition, when activating the right turn signal, the left turn signal would illuminate and when she activated the left turn signal, the right turn signal would illuminate. Sporadically, both turn signals would become inoperable. The dealer advised the contact that her VIN was not included in the recall associated with the federal safety agency campaign id number: 07v038000 (suspension:front:wheel bearing ) and offered no further assistance. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. No repairs were performed nor was the vehicle diagnosed for the failure. The current and the failure mileages were 69,579.
The turn signal will intermittently malfunction, causing the right indicator to blink though the lever is in the down position which when operational should signal the left indicator. This is a serious safety concern for myself as I have had multiple instances where I'm positioned in the left turn lane attempting to execute a left turn and signaling to oncoming traffic my intentions only to have the right blinker activate and cause traffic to stop abruptly in the lane I just exited. I am not only exposing myself to a rear end collision but I am also exposing the unsuspecting driver being incorrectly signaled to the same potential fate. The inability to caution oncoming traffic of my intentions also creates a potentially hazardous situation in that my turn could startle them causing them to turn sharply or stop abruptly. Both could have detrimental impact provided the conditions are less than perfect in a state that commonly has severe winter weather.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the turn signals malfunctioned. When the right turn signal was engaged, the left turn light would flash and when the right turn signal was engaged, the left turn signal light would flash. The vehicle was not inspected. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 99,000.
Turning on the wrong turn signal, for instance you are making a left turn and you push the stalk down, the right turn signal turns on.
When u turn the signals on they go the opposite way or completely go off it causes the break lights to go out as well this is a major safety issue and can result in a crash this should have been recalled along time ago why haven't you done anything I my self feel this is a major safety issue it gives everyone a false direction and results "wreck" I have had multiple incidents with this it happens frequently I have replaced bulbs and it is not the problem the problem is in the factory screw up.
Turn signals fail to operate correctly .when left turn signal switch is operated the right signal flashes ..the windshield wipers fail to operate...
Well some times the wipers will not work or do not work properly and the signals are completely different than chosen it does this most all the time I can press forward on the switch lever sometimes and get it to work properly but sometimes it does not.
