Swapping Pull Knob for Turn Knob Headlamp Switch
#13
Ok, so... I was able to get it done perfectly. Everything works. Just to be clear, I have a 98 Ram that had the old pull *** and my swap was for a 2001 Ram turn switch. I believe the 2001 is different from the 2000 schematics. So, after hours of experimenting I finally figured out how to properly connect each wire... and to everyone else a diagram.
B1 RD/YL or RD/LG->5BK/OR ground, driver door ajar(base)
UTN->4TN, skinny.
B3BL->3BL
PGR/BK->8YL/BK
RBK/YL->1BL/YL
B2PK/RD->2PK/RD
HGR->6GR
ITN-> 14TN, thicker.
DPK/BL-> 11PK/BL
1YL->12YL
2BK/OR->9BK/OR
10WT->13WT same plug(dome).
7LB is fog lamps.
1BK/OR= ground.
2BR/YL= fog lamp relay output.
You can probably tell that there are differences in the switch depending on your trim level, but the primary wires to make it work should be the same. Also, I don't have fog lamps on my truck but if you were to connect the last two wires on this diagram (1BK/OR and 7LB) to your fog lamps in your truck and the 2BR/YL to the relay. I have also attached the wiring diagrams for a 96 Ram and a 01 Ram to better help with assistance. Good luck.

Okay everyone,
This is what i have come up with so far. I have found the easiest match was with a 2000 Dakota switch. The ones marked with a (?) after them, there are 3, are ones that are a guess that (In my mind anyways) made sense at the time. There is one "extra" wire (B1=Fused +) that i have no clue where to put it.
2000 Dakota (New)
1998 Durango (Old)

Did your switch have one or 2 plugs?
