2012 Dodge RAM 1500 Exterior lighting Problems

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“When I turned on the hi beams (vehicle was stationary), the headlights flickered, all the dash light cut in and out, all the warning lights lit up, and the door ajar/lights on warning bells went off. I dimmed the headlights and it stopped. The dealer first said the alternator was bad, and it was only charging at 12 volts, so they replaced it, but that didn't solve the problem. Then they said it was the tipm. 17 days and $1351 later, I have my truck back.”

“I've had the truck for a while but last friday was the first time I drove it at night. I had no idea the headlights were so bad on this thing. It was an adventure getting home. No light to the sides to see to turn and both dim and high beams were extremely anemic. I've been driving for more than 50 years and never driven one with lights as bad as these, even when some others have had only one working headlight for a little while.”
