There has be a number of occasions this has happened about probably 100 times but paid not much attention until this winter. The turn signal level is also used to turn on the wipers on the vehicle. The problem arises when the vehicle lights are turned on, the wipers are on, and the turn signal are turned on. For no reason the turn signal from the opposite side of the vehicle is the one that operates. Normally when you are turning to the right the turn signal does not turn on and the left side signal turn on. In order to alleviate this problem I have to turn the wipers off completely. This causes a problem because this impairs visibility an also is giving other drivers the wrong signals. I have no idea what caused this issue but since I reside in the state of virginia it is a requirement that when it rains you must turn your lights and wipers this has caused me a problems since I depend on this vehicle and when it snows or rain I cannot operate the vehicle. I am taking the vehicle to the dodge dealer tomorrow to see what is the problem. I have not caused any accidents. Some drivers had got aggravated since some times I give them the wrong turn signals. The incidents have occurred many times in the last 8 months and I have noted that is getting more frequent since we have got more snow and rain in the north east I whish I can provide specific dated but it has happened so many times that I got tired of it and I am taking the vehicle to the dealer tomorrow. I am putting today as the most current date.
2006 Dodge RAM 1500 lights complaints
Page 6 of 6: complaints 131 to 139 of 139, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Turn signal malfunctions. When left turn is selected, sometimes right signal flasher comes on, sometimes no turn signal comes on, sometimes it works correctly. The problem is intermittent. When right turn signal is selected, right signal flasher works normally. The problem is very dangerous as I had someone pass me on the left while I was making a left turn because my right signal was on due to the malfunction.
Turn signal randomly flashes the opposite direction than indicated. Also will flash back and forth between left and right when either the left or right turn signal is turned on.
Front light module failed at 37,122 miles, front lights failed with no advance notice. Part was order by the dodge dealer, they didn't have it in stock, 1 and 1/2 month waiting for part and was not covered by warranty.
The turn signal switch will occasionally be faulty causing a hazard when turning or switching lanes. When signaling a left turn the right turn signal will come on and when signaling a right turn the signal does not work. I contacted the dealer and they were all out of the part and waiting for inventory to come in.
I activated my left turn signal but noticed that my right turn signal indicator light was blinking. This problem nearly caused an accident. The problem occurs approximately 90% of the time (when using turn signal). Also, my wipers have begun malfunctioning (turn signal and wiper switch located together on steering column). I do not know how to correct the problem (vehicle out of warranty).
Multi-function turn signal/windshield wiper control handle on left side of steering wheel column. The defect was causing the turn signals to flash right to left when in the right turn position. I took it in for repair just a day or two after noticing the problem. The dealer service writer said there was a short in the switch and they replaced it. The vehicle was approximately two months out of warranty and my bill was approximately $300.00. I believe this to be a safety issue and would expect functioning equipment for more than three years/36000 miles. My vehicle had 35,000 miles on it at the time of repair. I was not offered the old part.
No incident prior to failure. Head lights failed while driven at night on the express way at 65 MPH, given no prior notice that it will fail. Dealer was contacted and will be replaced.

The failure mileage was 25,000 and current mileage was 26,283. Updated 3/16/09 *cn the turn signal control was replaced in thee steering. Updated 03/19/09.
