2002 Dodge RAM Quad Cab Exterior lighting Problems

“Headlights, wipers, and turn signals do not work properly on my 2002 Dodge ram pickup. Headlights switched to high beam, will not switch to low beam and vice a versa. Wipers will not go to steady wiping, or fast wiping sporadically. Turn signals will signal 'right turn' when I switch the lever for a 'left turn', and vice a versa, and sometimes they will not work at all. There has been no accidents yet, and I have refrained from driving at night or when it is raining if possible.”

“Took truck to dealer because the headlights, taillights were going on and off intermittently whether the light switch was on of off and the key was in the run position (started or not) and windshield wipers would turn off when this happens. I about had a terrible accident when I found out the wipers quit working, imagine that! Took my 2002 Dodge ram 4x4, 3.7l quad cab sport to dealer and they said it was the pdc (power distribution center (fuse box)) that they are prone to corrosion and they have replaced many of them. …”

“While attempting to make a left hand turn with the directional signal activated, several vehicles attempted to pass on my left. To my dismay I discovered that the directional indicator was signaling a right turn while in the left activated position. This has happened several times. Dealer cannot reproduce problem, so no action is taken. The problem has progressed to now I can change the directional from left to right by raising or lowering the tilt steering wheel when the signal indicator is activated. Some times it just does not go on at all.”

“Currently own a 2002 Dodge Ram Quad Cab. I have had numerous problems with my truck. I myself have also experienced the same problems with the transmission jerking as well as the vehicle completely shutting off when idling (and not even at long periods of time). At times when putting into reverse, the vehicle will not move at all and I have to completely shut off the truck and restart it to get it to move. I haven't had it reported at the dealer yet because they will be unable to duplicate. Just noticed a problem with my rear taillights. …”

“Rear door wiring failure causing the wires to short out the instrument cluster, speedometer, door locks, power windows, doom lighting. The wiring failure is due to a poor design and poor quality of materials used on both sides of the read doors wiring system between the b pillar connector and the door. This can be identified by removing the black rubber booth.”
