| Description of the problem | The turn signals and wipers on my 2006 dodge ram 1500 are not working properly. Nothing happens when i move the switch up, and when i move it down, the right blinker comes on. The wipers don't work properly, and sometimes they don't work at all. These are all controlled by the toggle switch on the left side of the steering column. Today 7/29/2010 i was driving through a heavy down pour and the wipers stopped as described. The problems have been occurring for 1 and 1/2 weeks. I have read online of others having the same problems, and the fix is a new switch. |
