| Description of the problem | My 2006 dodge ram 1500 mega cab began to have problems with the rear controls, i. E. The door locks, power windows, speakers, dome lights. Doors to not lock or unlock nor does the safety auto lock work. Window rolled down but not up. Vehicle was taken to the place of purchase and discovered that under normal use of the rear door, the wiring harness had several broken wires in it. It was fixed for $340. I believe i now have problems with the passenger side wiring harness. Is this a manufacturer defect? How do the wires break inside the harness which are also inside the door and/or body of the truck. I now know of two other people with dodge ram 1500's that are also having the same problem. I have two small children, i should not have to worry about their safety because of faulty wiring!! |
