#1 of 460 Why is the high beam indicator light on always by keith1947

Mar 12, 2006 (6:59 pm)

2000 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. When tryed to put on high beams headlights would go out, after a couple of attempts they would come back on. Replaced high beam switch on column and now the high beam indicator light on the dash stays on all of the time and the low beams appear to be very dim.

have recently experienced the lights in my truck periodically dimming and then returning back to normal. This happens with or with out the head lights being on, while driving in traffic or waiting at a stop light, At times it seems like the engine revs up a little but not all the time. I have performed a number of searches on the web trying to find additional informaiton on this. I have been told by the dealer service department that this is normal, but others who own Dodge 2500's do not seem to have this problem, does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a 2003 2500 CTD quad cab long bed 4x4
I get a violent bouncing from side to side once in a while usualy on the freeway at higher speeds the only way to stop the bouncing is to pull over and stop. It only doses this from time to time and there is no set patern .the stering wheel dont shake or pull the truck continues straight but whole truck bounces very hard from side to side almost as if wheels are coming off the ground, The dealer can not find any thing wrong. any suggestions on a way to stop this bouncing?

Jul 11, 2006 (8:47 am)

Hi everyone,
I drive a 1998 1500 ram / 318. After reciently doing some 4x4ing, I have developed random flashing low beam headlights. ( we did check the obvious.....battery cable connections, headlight connections ) with no success. I have aslo had a problem with my reverse lights from day 1.....they are also random, staying on in every gear ( 5 speed ) at times, but will go out if I put the cluth in an inch or so. Any help out there for me ??? Thanks, have a good one !!! Christine
