| Description of the problem | I was driving down the hwy in pouring rain when the wipers started acting erratically going from real fast then slow then stopped leaving the wiper arm right in front of my eye level . They never came back on. Luckily i avoided an accident. I have tried new wiper motor did nothing later ordered a multifunction switch that didn't work either. Now im told that 2006 dodge ram 2500 has a tipm in place of the fuse this is called a total integrated power module. I searched the turbo diesel registry and there are others that have had the same experience. The truck has 58,000 miles and is garage kept i consider excellent condition. Chrysler will not provide any help. I now have a $1,000 plus repair bill and a truck that i cannot drive. Also i have read on here of other electrical problems so how can i trust that this part wont do the same thing. |
