I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 slt that when you turn the left turn signal on the right turn signal flashes. When you turn the windshield wipers on the fastest speed is delay. The problem was happening once in awhile now it is happening on a daily basis. Took it to a dodge dealership they couldn't find any problem but did change the multifunction switch.
2006 Dodge RAM 1500 lights complaints

2006 dodge ram truck turning on the wrong turn signal, for instance you are making a right turn and you push the stalk up, the left turn signal turns on.
Purchased a new 2006 dodge quad cap at 33,000 miles the turn signal switch malfunctioned (if you signal to turn right the left signal would come on, and vise-versa, high beam would not turn off after getting it turned on, windshield wipers, would turn while signaling, and stop periodically during rain storms). The dealer replaced the faulty switch, and at 54,000 miles the switch malfunctioned again, and is doing same things.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. When the vehicle slowed down with the left signal on the right signal also came on. He stated at times they both began blinking intermittently. The failure had occurred for approximately three months. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who did not have the parts to repair it. He was advised by the dealer to notify them the next time he took the vehicle in to be service so that they could order the part. The contact was unable to provide a VIN. The failure mileage was 86,500 and the current mileage was 87,300.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While the contact was driving approximately 70 MPH, the left signal was engaged during the lane change. Unexpectedly, the right turn signal activated and not the selected turn signal. The failure occurred whenever any turn signal was engaged with the desired one would not responding properly. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The contact had concern of the safety issue. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. The VIN was unavailable.
I was driving on the highway and attempting to change lanes , I pulled down my turn signal yoke to engage the signal and changed lanes - approx 500 yards later I was pulled over by a state highway patrolman who explained that I never signaled when I changed lanes. After assuring him that I did we explored the possibility that my lights were out - after going through all the motions we concluded that my lights worked fine but for some reason , my turn signals would randomly decide not to work and work at other times for no reason. The officer let me go with a warning and a promise to look into the situation right away. After doing some research , I have found many other people with the same problem from the same automaker - dodge needs to recall all of their 2006 ram's and replace their defective parts. I believe ( from what I have read) it is the multi-function switch that needs the replacing. This is a major safety concern if people are thinking that their turn signals are working properly and in fact they are not - if it is concern enough to warrant a failed inspection from a dealership or state mandated law , why does dodge believe that it is not necessary for them to replace their mistakes ? This is going to get people killed !!!!!
Much like the ram 3500, the turn signal on my 2006 ram 1500 began malfunctioning several months ago and continues to do so intermittently. At times, the left turn signal turns on the right blinker; other times, the opposite happens - left turns on right. Still other times, the multi-function switch does nothing at all. In response to similar complaints about the 3500, chrysler has voluntarily issued an extended warranty on this issue for the 2006 model year. They should do the same for 1500 models as well as this is a very distracting and an obviously serious potential safety hazard.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the contact attempted to engage the left turn signal but it did not respond. The failure had become intermittent and when engaging the turn signals either the opposite turn signal would illuminate or neither would function. He also stated that the windshield wiper would not operate intermittently. The vehicle was not examined for the cause of failure and was not repaired. The contact stated that the multifunction switch was previously replaced to correct the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileage was 55,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the directional signals and windshield wipers were defective. When activating the turn signals, the windshield wipers would engage and vice versa. The directional signals were also operating in the wrong direction, the left turn signal would cause the right signal to engage and vice versa. The dealer advised that the failure was a program module failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 17,000 and the current mileage was 24,000.
I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 and the turn signals do not work correctly. The truck was functioning properly before and there has not been any changes or accidents to the vehicle that could have caused it. When you turn the right signal on, it will blink a few times, then the left will blink a few times, or it will go back and forth like a police car. Some times both will blink at the same time. Some times it has a strobe light effect. My truck had 70k miles on it when it started and it happens every day. It might not happen every time I turn the blinker on, but it does happen every day. It has made driving very dangerous, because vehicles will cut me off because they are unable to determine what my turn signals are telling them. It makes it dangerous to change lanes and turn at intersections. Driving at night is even worse. This is a safety issue and should be recalled. I have done online research and found that it is a very common problem with this year and model truck. The solution to the problem is to replace the turn signal switch in the steering column. I called my local dodge dealership and they said it would cost around 500 dollars to fix. I highly stress that this issue be addressed. I strongly suggest this issue be addresses as it is only a matter of time until a serious crash will be caused by the malfunction.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated the vehicle was parked with the left turn signal activated yet the right turn signal engaged instead. The failure occurred sporadically when engaging the left turn signal. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection. The technician was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact had concerns of the potential safety hazard. The failure mileage was 28,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact was driving 25 MPH when he engaging the right turn signal and the left blinker illuminated. The same failure would occur when engaging the right turn signal. The dealer advised that the blinker assembly would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was concerned of the possibility of a crash if a following vehicle believed he was attempting to turn in one direction and proceeded to turn in the opposite direction. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 60,000.
2006 dodge ram turn signal switch, when activated for left turn both turn signals flash or will completely shut off. When activating windshield wipers during rain they sometimes turn off by themselves and I have to fiddle with the switch to get them going again while driving down the road. Went to dealer they want $300.00 to fix it since its not a safety issue, wipers turning off in the rain is not a safety issue?
I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 quad cab truck. I have had this problem since shortly after I purchased the truck. The turn signals and the wipers intermittently do not work. Also, if I put on the left turn signal the right one goes on most of the time. From research I have done this is due to a faulty multi function switch that controls the turn signals, wipers and hazard lights. The dealer has replaced this switch twice under warranty and will not replace it now that it is out of warranty. This is a real safety hazard especially when the wipers stop working driving in the rain. I have researched this problem and there are thousands of posts on the internet with people having the same problems. There needs to be a recall for this. It is a real safety issue that needs to be fixed.
I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500trx4. I have a serious issue with my blinkers and windshield wipers. If I turn my left blinker on, my right blinkers comes on a few times, then my left a few times, then both, and next they don't work at all. It is the same result if I turn on my left blinker, while all of this is happening my windshield wipers come on and it usually washes my windshield. It happens 9 out of 10 times I try to use a turn signal. The issue started back in march of 07 but happened very rarely, lately it is happening more frequently. This is a very serious safety issue and chrysler will not do anything about it. I have read many complaints online about this issue. Should this not be a recall?
06 dodge ram turn signal indicates different direction than intended when making turns. Had several close calls in 08 before realizing what was wrong. Wipers also malfunction ninety % of the time. Have not repaired these problems just use a lot of rainx but not my turn signals.
My 2006 dodge ram 1500 is having issues with the signals and wipers. Serious problem when I am driving in the rain and my left blinker says I'm turning right and vice versa. Wipers not working at all. I was caught in the rain today and manually had to flip my wipers and signals almost caused a wreck.
On a 2006 dodge ram when u turn the left turn signal on u might get right left or both and it messes with windshield wipers to not good when raining or turning.
I have a 2006 dodge ram quad cab and recently the turn signal / wiper switch has been acting up. Quite often when I push down to turn the left turn signal on the right comes on and there are times when no turn signal comes on at all. I was almost rear-ended because of this. Also sometimes the wipers will not come out of intermittent no matter what setting I have them on. Again this almost caused an accident because during a heavy rainstorm all that I could get to work was intermittent. I have read online of other 2006 dodge ram owners having these same issues. This is a huge safety concern and should be recalled.
I own a 2006 dodge ram 1500, purchased brand new, 40,000 miles on it now. For the past several months, I have had an increasingly frequent problem with the turn signal switch. When the turn signal is activated, sometimes nothing works at all. Sometimes the wrong signal comes on. Sometimes the hazard lights and windshield wipers don't work when the turn signal is activated. This occurs about 1 out of every 4 times. In researching this online, I am finding many other dodge truck owners experiencing the same issues. I contacted the dodge recall center, inquiring about possibly recalls on this and was told there are none. It is my understanding that the problem lies in the multi function switch located within the turn signal indicator and it is my opinion that with so many people reporting the same problem with fairly new vehicles, dodge should replace the defective switch at no cost to the owner.
The turn signals and wipers on my 2006 dodge ram 1500 are not working properly. Nothing happens when I move the switch up, and when I move it down, the right blinker comes on. The wipers don't work properly, and sometimes they don't work at all. These are all controlled by the toggle switch on the left side of the steering column. Today 7/29/2010 I was driving through a heavy down pour and the wipers stopped as described. The problems have been occurring for 1 and 1/2 weeks. I have read online of others having the same problems, and the fix is a new switch.
Turn signal blinks opposite of direction the switch is on. I was turning left and a car almost hit me when I turned left. I noticed my signal was blinking on the right indicator light on the dash. I have now noticed it does it quite a lot.
I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 and the multifunction switches go out very early. It causes the turn signals to come on in the opposite direction intended, and causes the windshield wipers to slow or cut off completely out of no where.
I had my daughter out for drivers training when all of a sudden the turn signals stopped working. We pulled into a parking lot and checked fuses but found no problem. I took over driving and the signals started working by there selves. A week later I was at a stop sign turning right all of a sudden the left turn signal started flashing alternate of the right flashing. Then they stopped working all together. When I restarted the truck the turn signals started working again. Yesterday the signals would work once and then stop working until I would restart the truck. The dealership said they could not diagnose the problem until the signals acted up so they could see it. I guess it's time to go to the dealer and get it fixed.
Dodge ram 1500 2006 - turn signal problems. On occasion the turn signals show opposite exterior lighting when used. For example, turn switch to left or counter clockwise, the right side exterior signals will light up. Sometimes they do not work at all and the hazards will not work either. This is a very significant safety issue.
My husband has a 2006 dodge ram 1500. He is in iraq and only home every 4 months. I do not drive his truck except to the mail box and back once a week to keep the battery going. About 6 months ago the wipers did not want to work. It was not all the time. We thought maybe a glitch. Then it was the blinkers. Sometimes they would not come on at all and others the opposite blinker would come on. But since he is only home for 2 weeks and it would only happen once or twice we didn't think about it. Now the wipers will not come on at all and when you turn the left blinker on the right one comes on. I did not realize it until I was nearly hit by some one trying to pass me on my left while I was trying to make a left turn. I got online to see if there was already a recall for this and saw there are many people with this same complaint. The only tsb I can find is for the dodge ram 3500. Also when driving over 50mph the truck will shake violently when you press the brakes. The harder you have to press the brakes the harder the truck shakes. We have replaced the brake pads, calipers, and had the rotors turned. This is costing too much money for maybes and it is scary when you are on the high way in rush hour traffic when this starts happening.
Turn signal problems. I turn on the turn signals and either they don't work or you never know which one will come on. Sometimes nothings works and other times you turn on a turn signal and the 4 ways come on. Today 5/13/10 while in heavy traffic I was going to make a right turn,put on the right turn signal and nothing worked,turned on the left signal and the right one came on..now I made my turn and I cant get turn signal to go off. Drove that way for 5 miles when turn signal went off by itself.
Turn signal malfunction. Left one would make the right turn signal come on, right turn signal would make the flashers come on.
I have an 2006 dodge megacab with only 40,000 miles since we hit 34,000 miles the turn signals work intermittently or not at all. Recently my wife was on the freeway and activated the right turn signal indicator and the left blinker came on she was nearly hit by a fast approaching driver from behind. I contacted chrysler corp. And filed a complaint a rep called me and stated they would by happy to cover the cost of the part if it was deemed defective by and authorized tech I would however have to cover the service fees. I explained to her that our current financial situation would not allow this and in essence this was a defective part and the manufacturer should stand behind their product she gave me the impression that they were not concerned this was an issue or even a safety issue. I stated that the repercussions of such short sightedness could be fatal for some unfortunate chrysler product owners if this is not addressed immediately as I have noticed a growing number of online forum complaints regarding this very issue. All we ask is that this issue be addressed as a recall issue and repairs be completed satisfying customer requests to ensure a safer driving experience. Here is my ref #1974126 in deference to my complaint to chrysler corp.
