Default lamp out warning light??????

I keep getting my lamp out warning beeping at me yet I don't have any bulbs out! Now I get my left turn signal to click fast which tells you there is an issue there then it goes away the next time I do it! All lights work when I put the brakes on, headlights, turnsignals, interior lights??? What gives?

It is the left tailight assembly. I have the same problem when it gets cold, the connections don't make good contact. From what I read on here it is a cheap and easy fix. I have just put up with it until it becomes constant.

Would you say its the whole assembly or just the bulb?

Everthing I have read says the assembly may be bad. I have also been told that if the voltage through the bulb is low it will throw the light. Seems a little sensitive to me. You could pull the bulb and see if there is some corrosion.

Same thing happened to me while driving from Chicago to Phoenix...the beeping drove me crazy so i stopped at a dealership and had them fix it real quick. they put in a new "panel" for lack of a better word right now, that all the bulbs plug in to. Apparently it is a known issue amongst rams. Took them about an hour and cost me like $120.

I had this problem. New aftermarket circuit board cost me $30 and a 1 year warranty on it. 5 minutes in driveway and the problem was fixed.
