little black box under the hood??
can anyone tell me what the little black box is under the hood on the driver side is? its bolted to the wheel well it has a mopar sign or something on it mine is unplugged i know that it has SOMETHING to do with the head lights because when i plug it in my brights turn on and and they wont turn off, when its unplugged my lights work fine but when i flash my brights i dont get the bright signal inside the cab then if i get out plug it in with my lights already on normal the bright signal turns on then when i flash to the brights both the dim and brights turn on and if i turn the truck off wit it still plugged in the and push my lights to off they stay on and wont turn off unless i unplug that box? and also another question when i engage my 4WD my 4WD light does not turn on but the 4WD still works? i checked the plug that goes into the axle and its plugged in so wondering if maybe the box has something to do with that also, so can anyone tell me what that little box is called and what is it used for? my truck is a 95 ram 1500 ext cab 4wd 5.2 automatic

That there gets the best run on sentence of the year award cuz it goes on for a really super de duper long time and I read the goldarn thing 6 or 7 times or maybe it was only 5 but I bet it was at least 6 and with all the times I read it I still couldnt quite understand what you were saying because it was such a mega long sentance I mean I can kinda understand a little but yet its hard to but I get what your saying I think. Almost.

I have a 95 1500 4wd 5.2
Can anyone tell me what the little black box under the hood on the driver side is?
It's bolted to the wheel well and has a mopar sign or something on it. I know that it has to do with the head lights because when i plug it in my brights turn on and and they wont turn off.
When its unplugged my lights work fine except that when I flash my brights the dash light doesn't come on. If I plug it in with my lights already on the the dash light comes on, but if I flash to the brights both the dim and brights turn on. If I turn the truck off with it still plugged in and try to turn my lights off they stay on and wont turn off unless I unplug the box.
Also, I have another (possibly related) question: When I engage 4WD the 4WD light does not turn on but my 4WD still works. I checked the 4x4 sensor plug and it's plugged in so I'm wondering if maybe the box has something to do with that also?
Can anyone tell me what that little box is called and it's purpose?
Not sure about the box. As previously stated, pics would help tremendously.
Does your 4wd light come on when you start the truck? If not, the bulb may be burned out... or it could have something to do with the mysterious little black box.
