you can try a guage sweep maybe itll help....just hold down the trip reset button on the dash b4 you turn ur key to on, then turn it on and it should do a full sweep, and turn on all the lamps in the dash....possibly one of those are out maybe?

don't forget the brakes. rear lamps are double filament (unless you changed them out)

Allright, not trying to sound harsh, but it sounds like you have not researched your problem at all. I have replyed to multiple post like this. If all your lights work and all your fuses are good than 99% of the time the light bar has failed. The reason the lights work is because the light bar hasa short. Take off your rear light lens and you will see a gray light bar that houses the lightbulbs. There is no way to tell which is bad. usually for some reason the drivers side goes bad first. A new one at the dealer cost $26. Put it on yourself. Its only a few screws. This is a common problem on 3rd gen Rams. Nothing serious the ding just gets really annoying!
