2005 Dodge RAM 2500 lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was in the left turn lane with my left blinker activated and my buddy that was behind me called me on the cell phone and said that my right turn signal was on. The inside one was indicating a right turn condition, but the turn signal handle was positioned for a left turn. The next day I hooked up to a trailer the next day and turned my left turn signal on and walked back to check my trailer lights and my right turn signals were blinking. I looked for this problem, but it is listed for the 2006 dodge 3500.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 2500. While driving approximately 40 MPH the driver attempted to engage the left turn signal but the right turn signal came on. The vehicle was taken to his residence and parked. While the vehicle was parked he was able to duplicate the failure. The turn signals will either not come on or the opposite turn signal would illuminate. The vehicle was not taken to be examined for the cause of failure and has not been repaired. He also stated that when the windshield wiper was set on intermittent it would swipe multiple times. The failure and current mileages were 44,000. The VIN was unavailable.
2005 dodge 2500 power windows on the pass. Side front pass. Go down don't come up, driver side rear pass. Window sometimes works and sometimes doesn't from the drivers door switches, open the same door and the interior light doesn't come on, third brake light works sometimes, windshield wipers act as if you have them on the constant cycle when it is in the intermittent cycle, blend door does not change from floor to vent or defrost.
While driving my 2005 dodge ram truck, I have recently noticed a malfunction with the indicator lights. When I indicate a right turn from the indicator switch, the left indicator light starts to flash. Additionally, when I indicate a left turn from the indicator switch, the right indicator light starts to flash. Currently the malfunction occurs approximately once per 10 uses of the indicator switch. Extremely difficult for the owner to spot this type indicator malfunction. Potential to be struck by another vehicle is extreme since surrounding vehicles believe you are turning one direction when in fact you turn the opposite way. Initially I disassembled the multifunction switch in question and slightly bent the spring contract slides to ensure proper contact was being made. This worked for approx. 6 months however the problem is now re-occurring. I've recently purchased a new multifunction switch $140 which I intend to install, however I would like confirmation it is designed in an inherently safe way so that this issue will never be able to occur again.
I have a 2005 dodge ram truck 2500. The turn signal switch fails and when turning left signal it will switch to right blinker which is very unsafe. And confuses other drivers as well. It is a very unsafe situation, when towing a trailer etc. And just normal driving. I have heard about this from many other owners on line about this problem. It should be a recall because there are too many incidents about this problem. Thanks,bob ps I only have 22,000 miles on this rig. This problem happens all the time now.
Recently in my 2005 dodge ram 2500 when I turn my right blinker on my left one goes on instead or vice versa. Sometimes they both go on like flashers. I was almost involved in serious accident do to this failure. My vehicle only has 70,000 miles on it.
