| Description of the problem | The switch on my 2006 dodge ram that controls the turn signal, wipers and light dimmer does not function properly. It turns the opposite signal on that i have specified, my wipers shut off while driving and it will not allow me to dim my headlights. Driving in the rain is very difficult and turning becomes a problem becasue i never know what signal will turn on. I spoke with mechanics at a dealership who informed me that the problem is so common that the mulit function switch is now referred to as the malfunction switch. |
