2004 Dodge RAM 2500 Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	898591
Internal NHTSA #	10441233

Model	RAM 2500
Model Year	2004
File date	01/10/11
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Either the power control module (fusebox) failed or the forward control module did (the part under the fusebox. Several lighting groups will go out even when driving down the road, including headlights. I have no doubt this is a safety hazard to have your headlights become unfunctional at night while driving. How i know it is a big issue that dodge has not felt necessary to issue a safety recall is because when i went to order the part i was told it is on at least a 6 week back order. There are so many owners having the same problem they can't make them fast enough to keep up. So that means 2004 dodge ram pickup owners have to let their vehicles sit in the garage for 6 weeks as it is not safe to drive them until they receive the part. I have had similar problems with dodge and until they are forced by you to issue a safety recall they won't. Also, it is dodge's past action in that they will put the same part on a vehicle that they originally put on the vehicle and it will do the same thing, fail. You should force them to identify the problem, identify the weakness, improve the part and replace it at their cost.... Not just replace the bad part with another bad part. The part (s) cost between $400 and $500 +labor.
