| Description of the problem | Recently i had to replace the major fuse box in my 2002 dodge ram1500. The old box shorted out and as a result i lost my park lights, driving lights, as well as my license plate lights. I was first made aware of it by the police when i was out driving with no tail lights. It was a good thing i was stopped or i could have been rearended or in a major accident before i noticed they were not working. I ended up replacing the fuse box at a cost of 600. 00. I guess this was a concern of dodge because they had fuse boxes onhand and available. |
