Two problems with my 2001 Ram 2500 5.9L V8
Problem 1: This is the lesser of the problems but the most complicated. When I engage my left turn signal and only this one the following happens. My clearance lights blink, the overhead console flashes, but when you engage the park or headlights they don't but the turn signal flashes slowly. Now what also happens is the wipers come on to sometimes once sometimes like they are set to the slowest delay, turning on the lights don't change this. Now what I figured out is that they actually aren't blinking but dimming, because when the lights are off and you engage the left turn signal for some reason it's energizing the park lamp circuit. Now here is the real kicker I used my power probe to check the grounds and hot wires nothing was found there, and also is you say check this ground it may not be at that exact spot because the PO messed with the wiring bad. But I could honestly live with this problem for now.
Problem 2: Started the truck to make a small trip and at idle it was shaking bad and had no power. Shakes real bad at 45 and above. I thought ok it's a misfire (check engine light was flashing after I said that confirming it). Limped it home plugged in the scanner and it had three codes P0206 Cylinder 6 Injector Malfunction, multiple misfire detected, and cylinder 6 Misfire. Cleared it started the truck and right away P0206 came back, so what I'm going to do is inspect the wiring and if they looks good swap #6 injector with #4 and see if it moves. If it does I'll change out all the Injectors (engine only has 65,000 miles but the local Cali news said that two stations got bad gas and I went to one of those stations ). I do need to know the flow rate of the injectors as a local shop sells them for $25 a pop with lifetime warranty but need the flow rate. Any suggestions on injectors though? Never had to replace these before so I don't know if this brand won't work or whatever.
P.S. I know some of you may say that these two problems are related but they aren't. Problem 1 has been around for months and problem 2 just started today. Thanks guys for reading this long post,

Yeah, swap the injectors, and see what happens.

As for the first problem, it almost sounds like you have a turn/park bulb that is shorted.

 

Didn't think of that! But do you know the flow rate of the injectors

 

Not just offhand...... I know they changed at some point, but, don't recall exactly when......

 

Well got both of them fixed! The 2nd problem was fixed by a new fuel injector on Cylinder #6. Used a BDW or BWD (I forget) and works great. Replacing the rest from the local company even the new one when I find out the flow rate. I'll keep the one I just bought for $41 as a side in the toolbox in the truck. 1st problem technically isn't fixed but it stopped. There is a joint connector behind the gauge cluster


when it is bent the problem occurrs if the plug stays straight it goes away. Going to dig in further when I'm bored. I'll keep this thread updated as I find out more. You can see the PO (who was a kid in his 20s) wonderful fix for wiring there is suppose to be another black and yellow woww in the blank spot

 

Got problem #1 solved finally! HeyYou (Mopar God) was right. Was at a red light and I got real close to a vehicle (to check my light not ride his *** so if you see me behind you doing that in just checking my lights lol) and saw my passenger side park light didn't work. I replaced the bulb and problem is gone!

 

Thought I had problem #1 fixed but I do not. It's a problem with the park lamp circuit

 

We spent a lot of time fixing wiring the previous owner screwed up on Brooke's truck. I wanted to electrocute him, LOL

 

I know he had electrical problems burnt wires and instead of fixing the wire and finding out what it is he just used jumpers which caused more damage. Lol at least you got yours figured out
