#280 of 339 L.E.D stop,turn and tail ? by dirtmover69 Jul 22, 2009 (3:33 am)
I tried to install led lights on my 05 ram 1500 ,when I plug the lights in they light up even with the key off and removed .When I do test them the turn flashes erratically and so does the stop when the brake is pressed.Is there an after market controller for these? or are they like a windows computer (random glitches and malfunctions)?I have talked to the dodge dealer and they have never heard of this..

I would start by disconnecting everything that you added for those lights, disconnect it at the power source. Now see how your original system is working. If there is still a problem see if dissconecting the battery for 15 minutes will work for you too... Good Luck

Replying to: dirtmover69 (Jul 22, 2009 3:33 am) Biggest problem with adding LEDs to a vehicle that wasn't delivered with them is, the computer will not necessarily recognize them as actually being on properly, since LEDs have a very different (lower) current draw - the computer doesn't see the resistance it expects and tries to analyze a problem that actually isn't there.   The company that made the LEDs should be aware of this issue, and they should be your first call for help.   kcram - Pickups/Wagons Host Replies to this message: dirtmover69 (Jul 23, 2009 5:44 am)

#286 of 339 Left side lights out on 2006 ram 1500 by dezrailer Jul 28, 2009 (4:23 pm)
My left side lights all went out at the same time. The marker lights in the headlight assy, rear license plate lights, and tail lights are all out. The brake lights turn signals and head lights still work. The bulbs and fuses all look fine but replaced bulbs and fuses still didnt help. I traded fuses with the right side and no help. I checked the right side power in to fuse was12 volts. Power in for the left side light fuse is only 3.3 volts. Does anyone have any ideas.  Thanks

#288 of 339 lamp out code - 2002 dodge ram 1500 by chris187 Aug 09, 2009 (7:22 pm)
I'm getting a lamp out alarm on my 2002 ram 1500 when I activate either blinker or my flashers. It only comes on when my headlights or park lights are on. I have replaced both headlights, all my tail lights and even the circuit board in the rear. none of those fixed it. All my lights work. The alarm blinks in sync with the blinker or flasher and goes away once I turn off the headlights or the blinkers. It drives me nuts because the buzzer constantly goes off with it. Anyone have any ideas?   Thanks in advance Replies to this message: kcram (Aug 10, 2009 4:38 pm)

Replying to: chris187 (Aug 09, 2009 7:22 pm) If you're positive that all the lights are functioning properly when the turn signals or hazard lights are selected (be sure to check with and without the headlights on), then you may need to "reboot" your truck. Disconnect the battery for at least 30 minutes (you will have to reset your radio/clock), then reconnect and see if that helps.   kcram - Pickups/Wagons Host
