Description of the problem | May 24, 2016, i was stopped for a roadside dot inspection. That inspection revealed that the brake lights on my truck were not working. All other lights were operable, turn signals, parking lights, tail lights, reverse lights, emergency flashers. However the brake lights on the trailer i was towing were operating properly. As were all other lights on the trailer. After attempting repairs myself, checking fuses, inspecting wiring, replaced brake light control switch, i took the truck to a ram dealer for repairs. The truck was taken to the ram dealer may 31, 2016. I am typing this on july 1, 2016. The dealer has not been able to make repairs and still has the truck. The service manager says it is the abs brake control module that is the malfunction but they still have not been able to affect a repair. The dealer has had the truck for more than a month. |
