08 Dodge Caliber SXT passenger front fog/blinker randomly works. Some times the fog and blinker goes on when in use and sometimes it does not. Several accidents have almost occurred because no one knows that I am turning right if they are in front of me. When the front right fog/blinker is not working the back is and blinks fast to indicate a bulb out. The bulbs have been replaced the wiring has been checked from the TIPM box all the way to the light. I have gone over 2 months without my to see what's wrong but no one can figure it out and there are no codes that generate. The TIPM box is working in perfect order and that is not the cause. I have taken it to 4 different mechanics and no one can find anything as to why the front passenger fog/blinker is the only thing effected. And why it is not consistent. I have been pulled over for over 20 times because of this issue. Whether its a light out or failing to use a turn signal. There's is def. no way my car will pass an upcoming inspection unless it decides to work the day I go. And since its so random and can work for a few days in row and ten not work for like month its def. a shot in the dark. There is no recall on this and there def. should be since it is a major safety risk. Having a functional headlight is a major safety point to me especially when I have a child in the car with me at all times.
The cigarette lighter went out first in 2009, was told the whole dash would need taken off to try and figure it out. Shortly after, within a year at times when I turn the turn signal on all of the sudden all the signals come on like I have my hazards lights on. Due to continuously needed to replace struts, tie rods, and tires I can't afford to have someone take hours to try and trace down and electric problem
