2006 Dodge RAM 1500 Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	792280
Internal NHTSA #	10332178
Manufacurer	CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Brand	DODGE
Model	RAM 1500
Model Year	2006
File date	02/04/10
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Based on a thorough troubleshooting process, it was found that the tipm unit in my 2006 dodge ram 1500 slt 4. 7l is faulted / bad. My left exterior signal will not function and flashes in the instrument cluster aty a rapid rate. Per dodge, this is indicative of a bad bulb or short circuit. I replaced all bulbs and the rear lamp circuit board as directed. Neither repaired the problem. After two days of searching for a short, a dodge technician and myself found the tipm to have a high side short which will not allow current to continue through the circuit to the lamps. An internet search finds this to be a very common fault of the dodge module in many dodge models, yet dodge continues to expect the vehicle owners to pay for these repairs. Many owners such as myself have this issue outside of the warranty period resulting in a inappropriate repair bill for a safety item dodge knows is faulty and will at some point, fail, resulting in other safety features other than just a flasher and brake light going out. I cannot accept that dodge is continually allowed to use such faulty safety modules without being required to fix this problem, without the owners suffering the costs. Please contact me at [xxx] for any followup on this issue. V/r, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
