2012 Ram 1500 Lighting Problems

My headlights (specifically on the driver side) keeps going out randomly. I have replaced the high and low beam bults 3 times and the wiring harness twice. I can be driving down the road and they it will go out and 10 minutes later it will just come back on all on it's on. I looked on all of the Dodge discussion forums and this seems to be a very common issue with this make/model of the Dodge Ram 1500 I recieve no error messages on my dash console telling me that this has occurred. However, every other bulb that has ever went out gave an error on the dash.

I went out to start my truck and there was only one headlight working. After replacing the left driver's side bulb multiple times and it still didn't work I had a mechanic look at it and he figured out it was a wiring connector problem.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON PERIODICALLY SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR DRIVING DONE THE ROAD IT FLICKERS AND GOES OFF WE HAVE TRIED REPLACEMENTS PARTS AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES

FOR YEARS NOW, WHILE DRIVING, SOME OF MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD BE OFF, BUT NOT ALL OF THE TIME. NOW ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE OFF EXCEPT FOR THE SPEEDOMETER. I CAN'T SEE THE GAS GAGE OR TACHOMETER OR TEMPERATURE READINGS. THIS DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM STOPPED OR MOVING.

HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. WAS TOLD IT IS A FAILED TIPM. WAS HEADED HOME FROM THE STORE AT DUSK. TURNED THE LIGHT SWITCH AND NO LIGHTS. HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH FLASHERS.

PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR, COVER AROUND SEAM DRY ROTTED, PLASTIC COVER THEN CHROME COVER BLEW OFF.

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER THE REAR SEAT AREA WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THE ISSUE OCCURS DURING RAIN AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING WASHED.

DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHTS, BOTH HIGH BEAM AND LOW BEAM , WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 6 MONTHS, RESET THE TIPM ONCE, AND WILL HAVE TO AGAIN. THIS IS A CHRONIC ISSUE WITH RAM TIPM. (GOOGLE IT, PAGES OF RESULTS) I AM DRIVING WITHOUT A HEADLIGHT HALF THE TIME NOW, KEEPING BULBS IN MY TRUCK, BUT IT IS NOT EASY ACCESS TO CHANGE BULBS ON THE FLY ALONG THE HIGHWAY.

DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH HEADLIGHT SWITCH IN AUTO POSITION, WEATHER WAS COLD, HAD FOR LIGHTS ALSO ENABLED, HEATER WAS IN DEFROST POSITION WITH FAN ON HIGH SPEED, HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING AND THE STREET HAD NO STREET LIGHTS, ALMOST HIT A MAILBOX AND WENT OFF THE WINDING ROAD BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP, THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES SINCE FIRST OCCURRENCE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. I HAVE TALKED TO THE ELECTRICAL ENGINEER AT AUBURN HILLS, MI. AND WAS TOLD HE IS NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. I SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH SAME ISSUE ON THIS WEBSITE, OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WHICH INVOLVES A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TOOK TRUCK THROUGH CAR WASH. NOTICED WATER ALL OVER BACK SEAT AND THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR CORNER OF THE HEADLINER. TOOK TO DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS THE THIRD BREAK LIGHT THAT WAS LEAKING. IT'S GOING TO COST ME $70 FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE SEAL.

THE HEAD LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE TRUCK HIGH AND LOW BEAMS DO NOT WORK TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THE BULBS WERE NOT BURNED OUT THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 35000 MILES ON IT I HAVE SEEN ON RAM FORUM .COM THAT A LOT OF TRUCKS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT (LOW AND HIGH BEAMS) NOT WORKING INTERMITTENTLY.

RIGHT OR LEFT HEADLIGHT GOS OUT AND ON WELL DRIVING. TIPM ???? WIRE HARNESS HAS BEEN REPLACED, DID NOT FIX

MY HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2012 RAM 1500 ST ARE HORRIBLE. MY FOG LIGHTS ARE BRIGHTER THEN THE LOW BEAM ON THE VEHICLE WHICH MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS, BOTH LOW AND HIGH ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SEE PAST 10 FEET.

PASSENGER HEADLIGHT LOW AND HIGH BEAMS NOT WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. REMOVE POWER FROM TIPM AND WAIT 12 HOURS THEM RECONNECT WILL WORK FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER WAS LEAKING FROM THE BRAKE LIGHT INTO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000. ...UPDATED 02/08/16 *BF *TR

HEADLIGHTS WILL UNEXPECTEDLY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. REPLACED BOTH BULBS AND WAS OK FOR ABOUT A WEEK, BUT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. SOMETIMES IF HOOD IS SLAMMED, LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ON. DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NOT A CONNECTION/ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS. MANY OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME PROBLEM. RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED ALREADY.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND ON IN INTERVALS AND THEN FINALLY WENT OUT COMPLETELY. I PURCHASED A STOCK BULB FROM A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE BULB INSTALLED BY A DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERSHIP. AFTER HAVING THE BULB CHANGED AT FIELD'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP, THEY PULLED MY TRUCK AROUND FOR ME TO PICK UP AND I NOTICED THAT IT STILL WASN'T WORKING, SO THEY TOOK IT BACK INTO THE SHOP AND WORKED ON IT SOME MORE AND FINALLY GOT THE HEADLIGHT WORKING. WITHIN A FEW DAYS AFTER THE BULB REPLACEMENT, THE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A PART THAT THEY HAD TO ORDER, BUT USED A SECURITY TIE FOR THIS PART TO KEEP CONTINUITY UNTIL THE NEW PART ARRIVED. WHEN THE PART ARRIVED, I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED. I RENTED A VEHICLE FOR THE DAY AND PICKED UP MY TRUCK THE FOLLOWING DAY. ABOUT 5 DAYS AFTER THIS REPAIR, THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. NOW, I HAVE TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP YET AGAIN AND SPEND MORE MONEY, TIME, MISSED WORK DUE TO THEIR DEFECTIVE PART AND DESIGN. I HAVE HAD SO MANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK THAT IT IS MIND BOGGLING. I WAS JUST PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE LAST NIGHT FOR THE LIGHT BEING OUT. I CONSTANTLY WORRY ABOUT GETTING PULLED OVER WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THIS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING AND STRESSFUL. THIS HAS LIMITED MY DRIVING AT NIGHT SIGNIFICANTLY. I HAVE PERFORMED AN INTERNET SEARCH FOR THIS ISSUE WITH THIS TRUCK AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY DEFECT. THUS FAR, I HAVE INCURRED AT LEAST $400.00 IN EXPENSES BUT DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR MY TIME AND MISSED WORK. PLEASE HELP. *TR

FACTORY HEADLAMPS ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND, IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, POSE A SAFETY CONCERN. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED THAT THERE ARE COUNTLESS OTHERS CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FLAW AS WELL. THANK YOU. *JS

THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF AND STAY OFF INDEFINITELY. TOGGLING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH CAN SOMETIMES GET THEM TO COME BACK ON, BUT NOT ALWAYS. *TR
