A different turn signal problem
#1

Ok, its an 06 1500. A while back I was having the switch problem and fixed that and everything worked for a while.
Now on to the new problem... I hooked a trailer up the other day and after unhooking it I noticed my signals on the dash where flashing really fast and the bulbs did nothing. First thing I did was replace all the bulbs and nothing. Then I started to look for the flasher and fuses and what I found out was it doesn't have a flasher and I can't find a fuse for turn signals. I have done everything I know to do.
So does anyone know what the problem is?

Is it just the tail lights not working or the front also? Both left and right or one side?
If it's rear only, both sides it could maybe be a grounding issue. If it's just one side just a tail light it could be internal to the lamp Assy.
The 02-05 use bars inside the tail lamps and they can rust through, creates an issue similar to blown bulb, but it isn't. The 06 up may have the same thing.

2006+ have an electronically controlled fuse panel called the TIPM. It has parking light fuses and that is it.
The problem I believe you are having is the known 2006 TIPM issue with towing. The 2006 TIPM were not configured properly from the factory and when used for towing would result in an overloaded circuit for the directionals. Unfortunately the TSB that I read a while back requires TIPM replacement that is probably $800.
I would suggest stopping by a dealer and tell them you need a "re-config" on the Tipm. Pronounced-->'Tip-em for short. (Totally Integrated Powertrain Module)
The dealer might be able to re-configure the original settings to the revised settings which is basically increasing the totall allowable amperage on the Tow circuit to be increased from 60A to 75A. I think that's the specs, but they raise the spces so the TIPM doesn't go into default and lock the circuit out on an overload which happens when towing on 2006 ONLY Rams.
A re-configure by the dealer means hooking up the Starscan tool and wipes your PCM clean and re-writes the program using your Vin# for your specified options.Takes 20min. Prob $100

Thanks everyone, I'll keep working on it and report back with the results.
