I noticed this morning while driving in to work, that I had no dash lights. My switch was on headlights and they worked just fine, along with the fog lights. As soon as I arrived at work I checked to see if my parking lights even came on. They didn't. I know for a fact they worked yesterday, but now they decided not to. Where should I look first? Thanks in advance!

 

Where to look first would be the fuse box of course.

Dash lights are controlled up and down by the dimmer. Is it in the mid area or turned off perhaps? What do you mean by "no parking lights"? Are your dash lights INSIDE and your actual lights OUTSIDE both not working suddenly?

Basically, I just thought of a fuse but the lights outside and the speedo light and what not all od the sudden dont work. I dont know what fuse is bad yet, I was just getting ready to head out and check.

If the parking lights are not on then power would not go into the switch for dimming the inside light, therefore the issue would have to be a fuse of power leg issue.

If you plugged into a trailer or have water in your trailer connection or truck light it would blow the fuse.

 

Well the fuse was the culprit, should have thought of it sooner. While I was down there I found a blown cigarette lighter fuse too. Now my problem is this: my wiper only has 3 speeds 1 delay speed low and high. I figure its probably the relay because everything else on the arm works fine. Agreed?

 

Yea most likely,

Could be the relay, or it could be the switch. I think the intermediate wipers are controled through the Central Timer Module (CTM).


Multi-Function Switch - The multi-function
switch is secured to the left side of the steering column,
just below the steering wheel. Only the control
stalk for the multi-function switch is visible, the
remainder of the switch is concealed beneath the
steering column shrouds. The multi-function switch
contains all of the switches for both the front wiper
and washer systems.

 

Bad news. The fuse for the parking lamps blew out again. I can't visually see any water in the tail lights or parking light assembly. There also is no water in the trailer plug. Should I take my tail light housings off and check that way? I need to figure this out as I start the night shift in about a week and I need to see how fast I'm going.

 

Go to the back and unplug your trailer plug. If you have a OEM plug there is a red clip on the back of the plug that unplugs the trailer plug harness. Then run without it and see if you still have an issue. If not then you have to go to the dealer to get a new trailer plug as they are a special type.

 

I was unable to find this red clip. It has the Mopar name on it but the only red clips I can find are a red clip under the steering column and red clips holding the tail light wires to the housing. Oh and also, the relay on the wiper is just fine so maybe a motor or the arm?
