Auto-mode turn signals, and a spare wire (06-08 RAM)
Hi guys,
I’ve been wondering about something that I haven’t found on my truck (07 RAM 1500 SLT) but is mentioned in the manual: auto-mode turn signal. With other words: if you tap the turn signal switch, the turn signal left or right blinks 3 times.
Now, being from The Netherlands there aren’t many experts on what this car should and shouldn’t have. Knowing Americans are pretty fond of luxury, this would be one thing I’d expect to have on the truck.
Is there a way to turn this option on, or does this model/make just not have this option?
Second: on my drivers side headlamp bolt there is an extra electrical connection mounted on a bracket for future use. Does anyone know what the function of this wire is, or can be? Haven’t found anything in the manual yet.
Goedenmiddag! Push the turn signal lever down to activate the signal and immediately release (don't let it latch), if your vehicle is equipped with that feature, the signal will blink 3 times. If not, it will only blink once and you do not have that option. The extra connector could be for fog lights if yours is not equipped with them.
