| Description of the problem | There was an electrical failure in the wiring system from the fuse block this is known to be a common problem with the dodge rams the abs light, brake light and airbag light as well as the engine light all come on also the odometer and speedometer also stop working. This stops the abs system from working as well as the airbags i have had to change the fuse block as well as the rear speed sensor, and the dash cluster because of this over a three year period now, the first time all of my lights stopped working as well as the dash gauges and door locks. Why is this and ongoing problem with this and nothing seems to get done about it the first time i got a copy of a service bulletin and dodge tried to tell me it was only good for diesel models and i have the same issues. There seems to be a real history of these problems with this vehicle and the dealers are all aware of this. |
