Lost turn signal on left side of vehicle also lost trailer turn signal was told at dealership it was the totally integrated power module was the reason.at first the signal would flash very fast then it quit all together. Guess this is a common problem with Dodge vehicles lots of post about it on the internet.

Going down the highway at 60 mph in a downpour. Had windshield wipers on low, turned them up to high and they slowed down until the completely quit. Luckily got off of highway to safe location to get towed to my shop. After diagnosing problem, found out it is the tipm(totally integrated power module).

Could no longer activate the high beams and windshield washer. After changing the multifunction switch was told the issue is in the tipm. Need to replace power module associated with fuse box.

Directing air to defrost windshield does not work = safety hazard. Air only blows from front vents and will not change to any other position: Defrost or floor, no matter the setting selected on the climate control (air flow) knob.

Random electrical problems.

- Camden, NC, USA

These trucks have been sold with faulty electrical systems that Dodge has not been able to correct with out costing the owners thousands of dollars. The tpim module constantly needs to be reflashed and replaced to keep your trucks electrical system working. They have designed this system so that the consumer cannot repair or even inspect the system which I believe is a violation of federal law. All of these vehicles have issues with the module and Dodge has made millions of dollars because of their faulty part. This module affects lights, wipers, A/C, cranking system etc... this needs to be looked at carefully and Dodge should be held liable to repair this problem.

The blinkers are erratic. The left blinker comes on when the right is applied and vise versa. The blinkers will switch sides in the middle of a turn and at times they will bounce back and forth between right and left turn. The windshield wipers will just turn themselves off at times and or speed up and slow down by themselves at times. Seems very dangerous and a recall should be considered. At the minimum a technical bulletin describing the problem should be issued. This seems to be a common problem with this model.

When ever I use my blinkers going right or left they don't always turn on in the direction I've asked them to. They will go from right to left quickly and back and forth. Example I am making a left turn and turn my left turn signal on. It blinks left and right switching back and forth. This isn't just happening with the lights inside on my dash, it actually turns the blinkers on outside in my lights as well. No one can tell which direction I am actually turning.

While driving, the headlights will go off by themselves.

Turn signals will switch back and forth. If you have left turn signal on, it will switch to right signal then back to left and vice versa.

The rear door wires have broken on both doors, losing all connectivity to the main power source. As a result, power locks and lights that are connected in the rear cannot be activated from the main console. The doors have to be locked manually. This is a known failure with Dodge trucks and needs to be recalled. The dealer even admitted to this being a chronic problem with the rear doors on this model.

I had a wiper motor failure. My understanding of the Dodge Ram is there is a total integrated power module that controls wipers, lights and other electrical devises. Once the tipm sees the 5th fault it shuts down what ever is causing the fault. In my case it was a wiper problem. Once the unit faults it has to be replaced and programmed for the vehicle. Cost $1264.56 for a wiper motor repair.

On multiple occasions when I put the left turn signal on, the signal will start flashing as though the right turn signal had been actuated. Sometimes the right signal starts flashing as soon as I turn the left signal on. On other occasions I will be stopped with the left signal flashing and it will intermittently start flashing to the right for no apparent reason. Occasionally neither of the signals will flash.

Driving in traffic at night and lost turn signals and brake lights on trailer almost caused rear end collision. Found problem was with the tipm or fuse box. The trailer wiring from the tipm has no fuse and is some sort of relay and can only be repaired by a dealer. Have found this to be a very common problem with other Dodge truck owners. Many different circumstances can cause this failure due to only a 15 amp limit before failure. Dealers say they can do a reflash for around $100 and if that does not work the tipm must be replaced at a cost of $1000 and this would be the case each and every time there was a 15 amp overload to this circuit. This is a serious safety issue as dealers or not open 24 hours or 7 days a week and also very expensive. This should be a simple fused circuit as it is with almost all vehicles and the repair could be made by simply replacing the blown 25 cent fuse found at all gas stations and convenience stores. I hope no one has been killed or injured over this same type issue.

Dash lights stopped working. They had went out once before but came back on the next day. After another day they went back out and haven't worked since.

I have had the ABS system warning light on 5 or 6 times, turn signal problems- both turn signals work at same time, A/C problems with the compressor not working at times and now is out all together. ABS and the lighting issue is the biggest problem since it is a 2500 truck and I hall hay, tractors and a 30 ft 5th wheel trailer, people need to know what I am doing or can I stop.

The Ram 1500 had a failure of the tipm that controls the head lights leaving the truck with inadequate illumination.
