Just bought this 1999 Ram 1500 Sport 5.2L Runs alright considering the 193k miles on the original engine.

Here's my problem. Drove it home, no issues. Next night, no issues. Tonight my turn signals, hazards, and break lights don't work. Note that the turn signals don't work inside the cab either, I'm thinking Multi switch. But on the breaks too just doesn't make sense to me?

What I've changed already -> Relay for the flashers. Fuse for the "Flasher".



On a side note: Is it possible to convert these trucks to use two batteries? One for Cranking the engine a basic lights another for fogs,over the cab, etc.

 

Also would like to know what is above the Relay on my fuse box, seems to be missing.

 

Doh!

That relay thats missing, the Flasher.
Is what controls all that.
Get a new one and you should be golden.

 

you sure? it shows the bottom plug in being the flasher? I'll check it out.

 

sometimes the trucks have blank relays. Also, from year to year, and model to model, they can change what one goes in what spot. I have two covers for my truck, and they are both different.

Story with that is that I have a MSD box mounted on my stock one. The other one is for when I needed to take off my msd box and replace the PDC cover. When bringing it in for warranty work.

 

Nah its not the same socket it's the same socket type as the ones under the hood in the harness. Anyways, pretty sure its an electrical problem. Wondering how much it's gonna cost to replace the breaks and signals electrical.

 

Pulled the fuses under the hood up to see the wires, got "engine control -20amp" and "Hazards" completely out of socket screwed up. New problem, I don't know what size the clamps to place fresh wire into it, I took mine to auto zone with me and nothing seems to be the right size.

 

been busy so haven't been on here.
Update :
Fuses & relays have been replaced. Replaced my tail light. Got my blinkers breaks and all working, then it died. --- Battery suddenly died, got a new one. Everything worked for the next few days without an issue.
Today I started it up took it out to the store, battery cables weren't completely tightened i guess and it needed reconnecting when i got back to my truck.
Now my breaks still work, but I get no signals on my dash, nor the outside.
BUT here is the weird thing, although I have no signals etc, when I turn my left turn signal on it kills the break in the rear, turn it off and I get my break light back.
Anyone had this happen?

 

Sounds like the multifunction switch is going belly up. Pull the covers off of your steering column, and have a look at the wires and such. Might just have pulled loose some.
