Description of the problem	I have a 2006 dodge srw 3500, laramie package diesel with roughly 89k miles. I've had numerous problems with what the dealer calls the tipm or total integrated power module. Apparently all the lights are computer controlled and the first problem i had was when my driverside signal light quit working all together after i had towed my 18' car hauler which i've owned for years and never had any issues with towing it with my 2 other trucks, well this just went away one day without a full diagnosis or repair. I thought that was a safety issue but things are now worst because now, periodically when i use my left signal light the right will flash as well practically at random, or both. Of course me being an engineer i tried to troubleshoot the problem and it's obvious that the failure can only be duplicated while in motion or turning the steering wheel. Of course the truck is out of warranty so the dealer is doing everything they can to prevent from covering the repairs or even the diagnosis at this point.
