Jason,
I have a 2002 and it is doing the same thing. Did you get your problem fixed and if yes what was it? Ive already replaced fuses, headlight switch and checked everything else but no luck with the problem.

#425 of 460 trailer marker light go out while driving by jeffl6

I have a 2009 Ram 1500 with factory tow package. The marker lights on the trailer will go out while driving. Lights will go out after half mile to 30 miles of driving but the trailer brake/turn lights and electric brakes work fine. This does not happen every time though. After you stop and restart the truck, trailer lights will work again. I have replaced trailer 7 pin plug and cable and all trailer lights work. Any help would be great.

I have finally figured out my electrical gremlin issue with my 2004 Ram 2500 5.7l HEMI. The light going bright to dim and on occasion the headlights(only) would go ot so I decided to remove the entire dash from the truck and chase every wire. While I was removing the instrument cluster I observed that one of the plugs was partially unplugged. I plugged it in all the way until I heard and felt it lock into place. I then started the vehicle and checked the lights and they were all working perfectly. It has been over a week now and my old problems have not returned at all. I'm sure if this is the solution to all of your problems but it worked for me. The good thing is that it isn't all that difficult to remove the dash and be able to get a good look at all your wires. It is a possibility that anyone that has installed an after market auto start system in their RAMS may have some of these issues. A couple other RAM owners that have talked to with the auto start feature have expierenced similar problems. If I get any other info with this problem I will advise further. Thanks to all that have answered questions here and Thank You to Edmunds for the forum.

Same problem. At my wits end. All lighting worked properly when truck was parked;"Lamp Out" illuminated when I started it at the end of the day and all the described problems began. Bulbs have been replaced all around. The suddeness of problem seems to suggest a relay?

Just stopped by a local dealer to try and get an answer. General consensus is the TIP module (Totally Integrated Power) also known as the fuse box.
Apparently, Dodge has a corrosion issue which causes this. Dealer price for module: $830.00 plus 1.5 hrs labor = $1000.00
Will continue searching, for now.

Some model year 2006 Dodge Ram trucks have the bizarre habit of turning on the wrong turn signal, for instance you are making a right turn and you push the stalk up, the left turn signal turns on. This is an intermittent problem and can be hard to track down. If you have a truck with this problem, you will need the multifunction switch (the turn signal/wiper) replaced. There was a bulletin released and the government is involved so they should know about this.
