| The right lamps are not receiving the proper current, only receiving current while utilizing the park lamp. no brake, hazard or turn lights. ! using the test light i tested every fuse within the power distribution center which indicated in no failures or blown fuses. yet when utilizing the right blinker the relay has a muffled click that was barely audible unlike the left blinker where the relay sounded nice and strong with or without the trailer tow harnesses being utilized. upon research i found that this was a very common problem with various years of dodge lam?s. ii believe that this problem that varies in low or high mileage dodge truck?s needs to be addressed by the manufacturer due to the vast amount of complaints and queries for the same exact problems. i have been told by the dealer that the problem may be the integrated power module), $ 300.00 just so happens to control everything including most importantly the air bag system. *ak | |||

| Turn signal malfuctioned attributed to the front control module according to chrysler star representative. the dealer was not able to reproduce the failure and was returning my vehicle to me .this is a known problem that the dealer was not prepared or able to diagnose. according to rick at chryser star support desk the front control module p/n 56051036ad has a known problem. i was only able to find tthis out after calling chrysler customer service and insisting that the dealer call their star support desk and open an incident. the rep at the support desk immediately told jesse the service tech that the front control module had a known problem. the intermittent failure created a safety hazard on the highway by not funtioning at all or malfunctioning by indicating a right hand turn signal when the lever was in the left hand turn position. *ak | |||
