| Trailer lighting for 2001-2005 dodge ram light duty (1500-5500) trucks with integrated heavy duty towing package relays can fail if accidental connection to mis-wired trailer, but are not repairable and parts are not available to replace the integrated power module (ipm). the relays for such are inside a sealed portion of the ipm, and cannot be replaced. there are no fuses or serviceable parts to protect against this failure. this failure results in non- or incorrectly-working trailer lighting which can result in motor vehicle accidents and injury or death. | |||
