| About 30 percent of the time, my turn signals and flashers do not indicate the signal i want to give. during those times, when i indicate right it doesn't flash at all. if i indicate left, it indicates right. also if i put on the hazards, it eather corrects the problem or it indicates left. this is very frusturating and provides a big safety incident on the road. i have noticed that i am not the only person that has had this before as it is a very common occurence on the web. it increases substantially during the fall and winter months and is almost not existant during the summer months. it also affects my wipers that when i have the lights on i can see that my vehicle is acting up because the wipers are at 1 detent less than what i am trying to provide. this makes it so i can't use the fast wiping position. thanks for your help. | |||

| The turn signals, wipers, and high beams on my 04 dodge ram 1500 have been giving me issues for the last year. this started out as an intermittent problem and has gotten worse over time. at first it was just the turn signals. when i would signal left the right blinker would come on, or visa versa. then sometimes it would work fine, and other times it would not come on at all. it | |||

| Dt: the consumer complained that the headlight dim switch was not functioning on the 2004 dodge 1500 since april 2005. the headlight would stay on bright or dim but not switch. at the same time the windshield washer would not work. the dealer replaced the multifunction switch, but the problem persisted. the vehicle had been back to two different dealers four times, and had the same switch replaced twice, but the problem recurred, but was not constant. the contact wrote to chrysler, but had no satisfaction. also, on one occasion the vehicle would not accelerate when attempting to pass another vehicle. at that time, the cruise control would not work, and the headlights would not come on. this problem had not recurred, but the dealer had no explanation or solution. *ak (11/17/05) *sc | |||
