Default hi-beam indicator flickering?

When parked w/o any lamps on I notice the lil blue hi-beam lamp flickers lightly. It has been happening for quite some time and I find it a lil odd. Anyone ever see this?

Also, my power windows stopped working the other night after putting them up and shutting the truck off. I noticed it after I had started the truck and pulled away...I cycled the key and then they were fine. WTF?

My truck does this too. It has since I bought it 3 months ago. I think it does it all the time, but I can only see it at night. I will try to remember to ask about it when I go in for my first oil change.

I noticed it happening on my truck when I was pulling a trailer with the trailer lights pluged up. I haven't noticed any other time though. If anyone finds out, let us know.

Hello all,


I just purchased my 05 quad cab. Mine does this as well, so not sure if it is something to worry about.


Only 700 miles on mine. But I did notice it from day 1.

mine did that right after i got it......took it back to the dealership....ended up being a bad instrument panel.....took 11 days to fix...but...if you dont get it fixed there is a high risk of your lights no longer working...

I can see mine 'pulse' every second or less at night when I'm in a real dark area. It's so faint that if you look straight at it you can't see it but if you look above it and see it with your periferal vision it's quite clear. I assumed it was part of the bulb check system running a tiny pulse through hte bulbs to check them.....just my theory!!
