| Description of the problem | During the first year of ownership an intermittent malfunction of hazard flashers and turn signals began . On occasion, the hazard flashers and the turn signals will not flash. At times, the turn signals will not cancel. At times, left and right will flash when only one direction is selected. Finally, on occasion, the right or left will flash when the opposite is selected. This creates a hazardous situation when i'm executing a turn as other drivers do not know my intentions and i've angered some and had two near miss accidents. I've not had need for my 4-way flashers, but when i test them at the time of the signal malfunction, they do not function. This can be extremely hazardous in an emergency road side event. When the problem first occurred under warranty, i took the truck to the dealer and they re-programmed the ecm. This eliminated the problem for the remainder of the warranty. Subsequently, it has gradually returned. I am not alone with this issue. Please visit the following link: http://vlane. Com/discuss-topic/1336/2006-dodge-ram-turn-signal-problem. |
