So i am having a problem with the lights on my truck its a 98 ram with the 360 in it. My problem is a little different, only some of my lights will come on. so in the front when driving i have no parking lights only headlights (high and low beams work), Then in the cab i have no dash lights at all, and in the rear i have no running lights but i do have brake lights. And i know its not the switch because i have already replaced it with a brand new one.

But for me this relay wasn't the problem

This little black box is the Daytime Running Lights module. I thought only Canadian trucks had them though

I'm having this issue with my 2010 Charger. The battery and fuse box is located on the trunk. So just curious if "the little black box" would still be under the hood, drivers side or am I looking at the relays in the fuse box. I tried switching the relays but that didn't help. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated. And pics would help because I'm just that kinda guy. Pics help a ton for me.

Post in the charger section. Our trucks are DRAMATICALLY different than your car.

Oh oops. Just saw this problem and it was exactly what I was having. Didn't realize this was a truck thread. Thanks for the heads up.
