Within the last week, just after the blizzard
my 98 durango SLT inhouse lights blink in time with the indicator when it is turned on

specifically the overhead direction/temp/avg miles etc display and the display on the radio.

Any ideas?

 

Sounds like your battery may be about at it's end. Have you tested the battery under load yet? This is just where I'd start.

 

I'm thinking a short involved with the trailer hitch wiring combined with ice, moisture, etc.

Dunno.

+1 Sounds like a short.

 

i think a short too

 

well now the headlights worked selectively, but had to fiddle with the pull **** and the dome settings

now i have lost head lights completely.

one head light has moisture and looked at the trailer hitch and it was filled with crap under the cover

bought some quick dry electronic cleaner and some electrical connector grease will let you guys know what happens next.

where can i find diagrams or pictures showing all the grounding location son the truck so i can clean those as well

also what about the fuse board? should i pull those and clean the contacts too?

 

No,
