2006 1500 Mega Cab Hemi.
Went out to dinner tonight, and noticed my right signal indicator on the cluster was blinking quickly. No problem, just a bad bulb right? Pulled over and checked the bulbs, no front right, no rear right. Thinking uh oh, what are the chances both bulbs went out at the same time.
Since I had a spare rear bulb in the glove box, I changed it right there. Still nothing on that side, front or rear. Oh well, I'll address it when we get home.

Left the restaurant, and now, no left signals either!! Just a rapidly flashing indicator on the cluster. I honestly don't know where to start..... Any Ideas????

BTW NO HAZARDS EITHER!!!!

 

Did you check for a blown fuse

 

blown fuse or bad relay would be my best guess

 

On an 06 there are fuses??? Or relays???? 06 uses tipm. The only fuse that comes close is the parking lights right and left. I was hoping for something more useful. Thanks anyway.

 

Okay, I guess I left myself open by saying I don't know where to begin. I do know, and I checked everything. After exhaustive searches on the subject, I believe it's my tipm unit. I am hoping it can be flashed, reset, or whatever. Replacement is probably going to be required I fear. I was just hoping someone else had the miracle cream I could rub on my truck!!! I'll let you know what I find out tomorrow after I call a few dealers, and hopefully find one that will try and flash my tipm. From what I've read, most just want to replace.

 

No truck or car today is without fuses

 

It wouldnt hurt to take a meter and set it to continuity and test each fuse.

FUSE LOCATIONS & TYPES
SPECIFICATIONS
FUSE PANELS
CAUTION: When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the correct amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may result in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it suggests a problem in the circuit that must be corrected.

NOTE: If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for longer than 21 days you may want to take steps to protect your battery. You may do this by disconnecting the battery or by disconnecting the two ignition-off draw (I.O.D.) fuses located in the Auxiliary Power Distribution Center (PDC) located in the engine compartment. The I.O.D. cavities include a snap-in retainer that allows the fuse to be disconnected, without removing it from the fuse block. Pressing the I.O.D. fuse back into the cavity reconnects it.

Multifunction switch? I had similar problems a couple years back and had to change it. Did it myself, not hard.

 

It was finally diagnosed today... my TIPM is shot. Dealer tried to reset/flash it, to no avail. I am getting a new one on Wednesday. I will post after that to update.

 

Glad you were able to get a dealer to look at it so quickly. Thats very unusual. Also glad you were able to get them to diagnose it. What did they say a new TIPM was going to cost you?
