Lately the dome and map lights on my 02 Ram blink off and on randomly.  Anyone have the same experience.  Cause?


Thanks

I have a similar problem, I just brought a 03 quad 1500 and every now and then not only does the inside lights go on and off but so does my headlights and the lights on the dash. I have taken to the dealer but they cannot find a problem. Anyone else seen this problem ?

Have you checked to make sure your relay's are all well connected and the wires aren't lose behind the switch?

I'll consult some of the mechanics at the dealership to see if they recommend anything. Do you, QuadRam, know what the dealer checked on?

There must be little problem with big results in your headlights switch unit.As I know,you can activate the dome lights in the ī03 model, too. isnīt it?If so, there maybe two problems: 1. The complete unit isnīt ok, because there is a shortcut in the platines. I bet they didnīt checked it inside and (Murphyīs Law) they hadnīt any problems during their search.2. Remove the switching section yourself and check every single cable on scratches in the insolation.Theyīre really packed together, so the chance of sticking together and rub each other is great. A problem after this three cable-strings (Headlights/domelights/dashlights) is  uncommon, cause theirīre splitting in different ways.The only hot spot in this case is the switching unit or the next 15"along the cable-string. Greetings, DODGE Germany, Michael


Let me know,please, if Iīm right.

Thanks to all who replied.  The problem went away... at least for now.   If it returns and I do something about it, I'll let you all know the results.
