#42 of 306 High Beams not working by davidlx Feb 09, 2007 (8:38 pm)
I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. The low beams work fine. The high beam work OK as long as I hold the lever on the dimmer switch close to the steering wheel. As soon as I let go of the lever the high beams go out. If I click the level again the low beams come back on. Do I need to replace the dimmer switch or is something else wrong? Thanks.   David

I have a o6 Ram 2500 that I use to plow. When lifting the plow the alternator gauge drops causing the "check gauge" light to come on. Dealer told ME to buy a gel battery ($180). Anyone else have this problem?
#45 of 306 1999 Turn Signals by jander Feb 25, 2007 (7:54 pm)
1999 Dodge 1/2 ton reg. cab, short box, gas 5.9L, 112,000 miles. Brake, Park, and Hazard Lights work. No turn signals. Fuse block under hood looked OK. Fuse block by Drivers Door looked OK. Original Bosch flasher unit ( 0-332-209-150) under dash by steering column replaced with car Quest Flasher unit (FSH 7127) Turn Signals still not working. What is the minimum voltage these flasher units will operate at ? Or do I have, two bad flasher units now ? Thanks - jander
#46 of 306 High Beam Indicator Stays On by ramhead1 Apr 16, 2007 (9:32 am)
Hi... I have a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 5.2 liter. My High beam indicator is staying on at all times...After I unplugged the daytime running light module years ago, the high beam indicator never came on...I have kept the connector dry by wrapping in plastic, and it is still dry...Also sometimes my speedometer does not work and the check engine light comes on...This all just started today. Has anyone else had this problem? And where would I start to look? Any info would be appreciated...Thanks Replies to this message: dustyk (Apr 17, 2007 5:15 pm)

Replying to: ramhead1 (Apr 16, 2007 9:32 am) The speedometer not working is typical of a failed rear differential speed sensor on RAMs.   I haven't a theory about the high beam indicator. May I assume that the high beams are NOT on?   Regards, Dusty
#48 of 306 High Beam Indicator, Speedometer by ramhead1 Apr 19, 2007 (3:41 am)
Thanks for the response... No, the high beams are not on...The indicator stays on even with lights off... As I said in previous post, when you disconnect the daytime running light module, the high beam indicator does not come on at all, though the high beams work...It seems like all these things are related as they all started at the same time... I'm almost thinking the main computer is starting to go... Do you know how I can check engine codes without buying one of those diagnostic things....Thanks
#49 of 306 2002 Ram 1500 4.7L 4x4 by joecamelus Apr 28, 2007 (5:36 pm)
Recently my 2002 ram with the 4.7L engine and 45RFE transmission started giving me some very wierd symptoms. Hopefully someone will have an idea. Everytime I am at a complete stop, I put my foot on the brake and my speedometer jumps around. As long as I am moving the speedomoter works fine, but if i am in stop and go traffic, my brake warning light and ABS light comes on. I tried to have the codes checked, but even when the light is on, no codes. Any ideas?
#50 of 306 Speedometer by ramhead1 May 02, 2007 (11:27 am)
I just replaced the rear differential speed sensor in my 98 Ram 1500 4WD. The speedometer still does not work. I understand there is another speed sensor in the transmission. One is an emitter and one is a receiver.I don't know if its worth replacing this one also, or just take it to someone who can check codes and fix the thing. Is the speedometer all electronically controlled, or is there still a speedometer cable involved? Any help would be appreciated...Thanks
#51 of 306 Speedometer - Bright Light Indicator by ramhead1 May 11, 2007 (4:11 am)
Just an update...Took my truck to the dealer.. They said they could not duplicate customer complaint..I get that a lot at dealers..They drove it for a total of 1 mile..They said speedometer was fine.. While I was having my air conditioning recharged, I noticed 4 wires coming out of the fuse and relay box in engine compartment were broken and 1 was barely made, together by just a strand.. I figured this may be a problem..Repaired the wires and all is now working fine...So much for the 5 star Dodge dealer... I even told them I thought it was a wiring harness or connecter.. By the way this is Cortese Dodge in Rochester, NY...Thought you guys might want to know...
