2001 Ram, electrical issue
Hi folks,
My name is Chris and I'm new here. I have a 2001 ram 1500 4x4
My truck has a strange problem I was hoping to get some insight on.
When I turn on the turn signal and apply the brakes the turn signal freezes in the lite position.
The 4 ways work but also freeze when I apply the brake.
I have replace the flasher relay and replaced the direction control lever on the sterring colum (as recomended by autozone) And so far nothing has affected the problem.
Does anyone know were i should look next or what may be causing this?
THANKS in advance

When you say the lights freeze, do you mean they stay lit...no flash? When you take your foot off the brake, do the lights flash again? Or by freeze do you mean they go dead?
At any rate, test the brake light switch down at the pedal. Terminals 1&2 (farthest away from the plunger) are for the brake lights. You may have a faulty switch. May also be a bad ground somewhere. Also, check all of your bulbs that none are missing or burned out. And...
WELCOME!
