2007 Dodge RAM 2500 lights problems

Filed Mar 15, 2021 · Electrical, Lights · 140,000 miles · UT

Headlights shut off while driving at random times at night causing complete inability to see on the freeway or back road where there are ditches and things to wreck. Severe safety issue that dealership cannot resolve with usual fixes. Many others have the same complaint about lights going out. This will cause deaths if I'm driving 80 MPH on the freeway and suddenly can't see or people can't see me. I've tried everything to fix it with the dealer. It happens while driving at slow speeds and fast speeds and even parked. I've had the tipm replaced, rebuilt the cluster, removed all after market add on, brand new bulbs, checked for codes, repaired wiring shorts. None has fixed the problem.

The turn signal switch constantly needs to be replaced because of a faulty contact plate that causes it to over heat. When this happens the turn signal works in the opposite direction you signal without warning. This is a huge safety concern and has caused traffic accidents from what I have found researching the problem. My truck tends to have the problem more frequently on cold mornings and after a rain.

Left front turn signal and left front high beam do not work. Found no power from tipm to light circuit. Estimated repair is $900.00 dollars. That is terrible high to repair a safety issue such as the lights working

Headlights go out inadvertently sometimes blinking sometimes go out completely. This occurs when the vehicle is in motion moving straight ahead on a smooth road.

(safety) when using left turn signal, right signal blinks or none at all. I have had other motorist think I was turning right and go around me as I slow down to make my turn left . I think the federal safety agency need to look into this ! Because motorist can be issued a ticket for improper lane change or an accident could occur.

Driving on unfamiliar rural dirt road at night, switched to high beam to see upcoming intersection and all headlights went out. Stunned, I lost several critical seconds before I restored the low beams and locked up the brakes. Too late. Unable to turn safely, I left road, went down embankment through fence before stopping in pasture. Substantial front end and body damage to truck.

I noticed the turn signal indicator was flashing to fast. After inspection it was determined that the rear turn signals and the rear brake lights were not working at all. After a diagnostic ($55) it was determined to be the tipm (total integrated power module). This is basically the whole fuse box. This is a $1000 dollar repair, and is such a common problem that the part is on a three week back order from dodge. Upon further research it seems to me that this has happened to hundreds (or more) 2006-9 dodge rams. Owners have experienced a myriad of issues with the vehicles lights (turn signals, brake, headlamps) as well as other random electrical issues. I believe this to be a serious safety issue and would appreciate your help in getting dodge to address this issue.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500 diesel. While driving approximately 60 MPH the windshield wiper intermittently failed to work properly. They failed to shut off immediately when they were turned off. The turn signals also malfunctioned. When he turned on the left turn signal the right one came on and when the right was turned on, the left one came on. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for the failure. The failure had been ongoing for approximately two months. The failure mileage was 57,000 and the current mileage was 58,000.
