#355 of 497 2001 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab Electrical by sfox22

Truck has 80,000 miles. Just started today with electrical problems. Park lamps flicker on and off when the truck is off. High beam indicator is always on (even when headlights are not). Truck constantly tells me the door is open even when driving. Interior lights stay on all of the time (door ajar). Power locks do not work. Everything else functions normally. I had to start pulling fuses to keep my battery from draining. Any info would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

I've got a 2005 quad cab and have never had the problem you're describing. But, if I were to start troubleshooting someplace, it would be looking for a bad ground on the instrument cluster.

sounds like a short in the wiring trace the wire all the way from point a to point b. it may be rubbing on something
