| I was driving my 1994 dodge ram 1500 on the morning of march 24, 2007 when smoke came out of the dash. the running lights, taill ights and dash lights then went out. i was drving in the fog, and it was not yet light out. fortunately, i still had headlights. the headlamp switchwas bad and the wiring connector melted. i have not had it fixed yet. itwas the exact condition described in recall #99v024000 , except that my truck was a 1500, not a 3500. i had to replace the switch for this same thing a little over a year ago, and i'm sure that i am not the only one that has experienced it.*ak | |||
