2006 dodge ram 2500 diesel- the turn signal indicator frequently activates the turn signals in the wrong direction. I've noticed that adjusting the tilt column corrects the signal in most cases. There seems to be a flaw in the signal system that causes a short or something of that nature. I've had this problem since 2007, within months of buying the truck. It was infrequent at first and I neglected to take it in while the truck was under warranty. Now it happens almost every day.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 2500. While driving approximately 35 MPH the turn signals would not operate. He had to turn the turn signal switch off an then back on to operate the signals. Also the windshield wipers do not operate at the intended speed. The authorized dealer was notified of the malfunctions. The failure mileage was 40,400. The current mileage was 40,551.
Turn signal switch failure.
2006 dodge 2500 turn signal issues. Malfunctioning turn signals turn left signal on,and right signal comes on and vise versa and sometimes neither will come on.
Bought a used 2006 dodge ram 2500 trx4 with the 5.9l cummins. Driving home from the used car dealership, my turn signal switch was not working properly. It would vary from when I had in the left turn position, sometimes the right blinker would flash too, or nothing would blink. Sometimes, when I make a right turn and initiate the right turn signal, nothing flashes or if I put it in the left turn position, then the right turn signal flashes. I purchased it used on sep 1, 2009; and this is my first dodge and more importantly, a life-threatening equipment fault/malfunction. I have read online several articles of this affecting several year model dodge ram 2500/3500 trucks. If this is known, why isn't a "recall" initiated and I as a user/consumer, now has to pay another $100 for a multi turn switch, from which I read, may malfunction within a year.
When driving at night sometimes when you change the headlights from low beam to high beam they completely go out and sometimes only the right high beam doesn't work.
2006 dodge ram 2500, turn signal fault, turn on left directional, and right directional comes on very dangerous.......
2006 dodge 2500 truck. Has had intermittent problem with turn signals and wipers. Turn on signal and other signal comes on. Wipers go off with switch on. This has been issue since bought vehicle in 06. Does not do it all the time.
The turn signal (multi-function) switch in my 2006 dodge 2500 is malfunctioning. When I turn on my left turn signal the right turn signal will flash and sometimes the left as well. The same thing happens when I put on my right turn signal, the left turn signal will flash. I have had two very close calls with this, the most recent while pulling a 34 foot fifth wheel trailer. I have seen numerous complaints about this on the diesel truck resource web page and some of the stories are of very serious close calls. This needs to be a recall.
2006 dodge ram 2500. Multifunction switch fails when needed the most. This item controls the wipers, turn signals, high/low beams, as well as emergency flashers. This was an intermittent problem when I first reported it to the dealership, and surprise surprise it didn't fail at the dealership. Now after my standard warranty has expired it has completely failed. There was no events leading up to the failure. The dealerships are now saying that this is a common issue, but since the warranty has expired, I now have to pay for parts as well as labor for an item that causes a major safety issue. Imagine driving in a down poor, and the switch that controls your wipers fails to perform.
I turn on the left turn signal and the right comes on and vice versa.
The multifunction switch (turn signal) is malfunctioning. I have heard many people state this same thing. The turn signals will activate opposite (trip the left and the right activates) and vice versa. The high beams will not turn off. And most recently I was in a rain storm and my windshield wipers which are activated by the same switch did not work. I had to stop on the side of the road and wait for the rain to stop before I could continue since I could not get them to activate. The multifunction switch appears to be a faulty part of my truck 2006 dodge ram 2500.
I was driving down the hwy in pouring rain when the wipers started acting erratically going from real fast then slow then stopped leaving the wiper arm right in front of my eye level . They never came back on. Luckily I avoided an accident. I have tried new wiper motor did nothing later ordered a multifunction switch that didn't work either. Now im told that 2006 dodge ram 2500 has a tipm in place of the fuse this is called a total integrated power module. I searched the turbo diesel registry and there are others that have had the same experience. The truck has 58,000 miles and is garage kept I consider excellent condition. Chrysler will not provide any help. I now have a $1,000 plus repair bill and a truck that I cannot drive. Also I have read on here of other electrical problems so how can I trust that this part wont do the same thing.
Turn signals intermittently stop working and worse sometimes flash opposite direction of what they should. Very dangerous. Dodge should recall this problem which is evidently happening a lot on 2006 dodge ram trucks.
2006 dodge 2500 mega cab. While sitting at a stop light in a left turn lane with left turn signal on, I experienced erratic timing of the left turn signal, and quick flashes of the opposite (right) turn signal. Moving the steering wheels direction seemed to remedy the problem, and I have not been able to duplicate the problem.
Right turn lights flashing when left turn. Signal activated.
Put turn signal on to make left turn,right turn signal activates. Multiswitch bad, has happened three different times while towing a 30' travel trailer. Each time dealer has replaced multiswitch. Dealer will not give me the old part.
Turn signal displays right turn when put in to left turn mode. As well as inadvertently jumping from left turn to right turn. Also, windshield wipers will be inoperative during the times when the turn signals are acting screwy.
2006 dodge trucks run their trailer stop and turn lights through the computer in the truck. Any surge or pop from hooking up the trailer will cause the lights to not work. Their is no fuse for trailer lights but there is for the truck lights. If you plug your trailer lights in ond touch it wrong you no longer have stop or turn signals for the trailer. Your only option is to go to the dealer and for 110.00 they will check the computer to see if they can reset it or if you need a new computer for your truck. This causes you to drive around without lights since you have no ability to fix them yourself.
2006 dodge ram truck with a long list of problems**cc the consumer experienced numerous problems with the vehicle such as ignition switch malfunctions, the ignition would not lock, shift lever, exhaust smokes excessively, the engine shutters and shutdown, transmission shifting improperly primarily in 2nd and 3rd gear, there were times when the consumer could not get the vehicle out of park. The head lights and tail lights come on and go off, the electric locks malfunctioned, various problems with the cab lights, the instrument cluster failed.
Truck was purchased used with 16000 miles. At approx. 20000 miles, an anomaly with the turn signal occurred: a "left" turn input resulted in a "right" turn output to the signals (assumed front and rear). This was initially unnoticed by the driver, as traffic conditions were dense. Upon beginning the left hand lane change, a check of the left mirror revealed a car overtaking on the left. Upon review of the turn signal, it was observed that left and right turn functions were reversed. As this event occurred in dense traffic, the driver was forced to nurse the truck to the side of the road and attempt to rectify the problem. Actuating the high/low beam control (on common turn signal stalk) rectified the problem for the time being. The truck was returned to its home address and then was driven to the dealer to demonstrate the problem. The dealer entered the problem into the system and a replacement control assembly was ordered. The dealer made no attempt to retain the truck due to potential life safety issues associated with the defective signal device. The turn signal subsequently failed in traffic, resulting in a minor parking lot accident. The truck was returned to the dealer and left there by the owner. Upon installation of the new controller, the truck was driven from the dealership and sold. The dealership indicated that they had replaced 4 or 5 controllers in the 2005 series trucks and at least one in the 2006 series.
