It still starts ok, but I had to move it into the garage where it is warmer because the temp is supposed to be 20 degrees below zero tonight. Sadly, I can't find a single outlet in my house that does not have a GFI somewhere in the circuit...so it is impossible for me to plug in the truck with it's current issue.

Did you ever figure out the problem? I have been checking wiring for days now with no success. 2000 dodge ram club cab.
Thanks.

I bought a 98 Ram 1500 with 100k on it a couple of months ago, and, every since I bought it, the running lights would come on whenever I would start it up. I figured it was a wiring issue with the aftermarket stereo that was installed in it by the previous owner. It had blown door speakers, so I bought a set of 6x9 to replace them. While I was installing them, I decided I would pull the Pioneer C/D player that someone put in, to see if they had tapped into the lights, to power the C/D player, because of the Marker Lights always coming on, whenever the stereo was on. I disconnected all off the stereo wires, and bought an aftermarket wiring harness, that supposedly would work with my factory stereos wiring, and the aftermarket stereo/CD player. After having installed the wiring harness, the Parking Lamps and dash dimmer, seemed to be working as they should (Parking Lamps would only come on, if I turned them on, an I could now adjust the dash light illumination for brightness at night.) However, the following morning, when I went out to start my truck and let it run for a few minutes (it was -29* F when I got up in morning) I started the truck and went back inside. When I went back out, I happen to notice my Back-Up lights where now lit, in Park, with the head light switch OFF) So, I decided to turn on the lights to see if there were any other issues. And there was/still is. When I have the headlights ON, the Back-Up Lights Flash when I apply the right blinker, but, when I apply the left blinker, it comes on, and doesn't blink at all (Back-Up Lights are also lit). When I turn off the Headlights, the Back-Up Lights go out now, but when I apply the right or left blinker, BOTH the Back-Up Lights blink, with whichever turn single blinker I apply. The fog lights wont work now, nor will the Aftermarket C/D Player, nor the Dome or Cargo Light. Oh... and the Dash Lights flash whenever I apply either Directional Light... I went back and removed the aftermarket wiring harness to the aftermarket C/D player, thinking maybe that it was causing all my new issues, but, it didn't change anything. So, I read in another forum, that the headlight switch might need to be replaced, because they sometimes wear-out, and cause issues with back-feeding into other circuit's. But, that didn't help. I clawed under the rear of the truck and found a cobbled up trailer light harness, so I cut that out too... But, that hasn't helped either. I'm not blowing any fuses, but when this all started, I couldn't keep the 15 Amp Park Lamp fuse from blowing. At first, I started blowing whenever I would have the headlights on, and hit the break peddle (at this time I had NO other issues going on with the lights). Then, a couple of days later, It just started blowing the Park Lamp fuse, as soon as I would pull the headlight switch, out to engage the Parking Lamps. I am at a total loss as to where to go from here, because every time I seem to wanna get to the bottom of whatever is causing the issues to happen, the issues change for some reason!!!!!!! Whats next.... I do not know.... I went to the local Dodge Dealership and asked them if they have ever had this happen before, and the two guys I talked to where baffled as well. I mean, something has to be shorting out somewheres, but where do you start looking, when the issue isn't always the same, every time you go to start the truck??? :mad: :confuse: :lemon:

Also my turn signals and 4ways don't work, they flash inside on the dash but nothing outside ,it flashes very fast inside i checked the bulbs and they are good
I checked each fuse with a test light on the box on the driver side under the hood something is clicking under the fuse box when the flashers or turnsignals are on.
It does not seem like the standard bulb repair just point me in the right direction with a couple of possibillities
Thank you kscar50
The other day I had three things go out at one time, my dome light does not come on when I open the drivers side door (but does when I open the pass.). The seatbelt light wont shut off when the belts are buckled and the ac blower motor does not work. Does anybody have any ideas? I hope I can get some answers befor I go to the dealership please help. Thank you . I have 2004 dodge ram 1500 3.7.
2007 Ram 3400 4X4 Laramie crew cab, diesel, 80,000 km.
I need pointers on where to look to replace a relay or fuse or whatever might contribute to this problem. When driving, even though the doors are closed, the interior lights stay on, the automatic locks unlock and lock repeatedly and this goes on till going up to 80 kph. It has also come on intermittently when slowing down to 60 kph, thus the wake-up the other night.
I've replaced the batteries in both keyless remotes and have checked the door latches and that's about it. I would prefer to troubleshoot this before paying big bucks for the dealership to look at it. Any ideas?
This isn't the first thing to come and go, this past Fall we looked outside at 8 pm and saw the thing sitting there with it's running lights on. wth? They turned off after a while. The kids thought it was cool, thinking we had a real life Transformers truck. That problem hasn't happened for a while. No knowing what this thing might do next.
Thanks.
It's almost like the electrical system has a mutan Thanks.
