Default Random Flashing ABS and Brake Lights.

It just started happening in the past 2 days, but every once in a while I get this single chime that sounds like my gas light is coming on. Ive heard it at least 15 times and its completely random, sometimes within 5 minutes of start up and then sometimes while im driving. The last time I heard it I just happened to be looking at the cluster when it happened and I noticed the break light flashed along with what I think was the abs light, it was very quick though so Im not sure, but I'm pretty sure nothing lit up every other time. Anyone else have anything like this happen? I think Im going to get it scanned for abs codes tomorrow. BTW its a 04 1500 qc 4x4 hemi

Default RE: Random Chime

A buddy of mine has an 02 sport and his started doing that too along with a very very quick blink of a "lamp out" indication. The lamp out was on and off so quick he didn't notice it for quite some time as to what it was. Just a maybe???

I have an 04 SRT10 and have the flashing abs and brake light. I reported it rto the dealer, but they could not find the problem. Let me know how you make out. This is a good forum. I am surprised it took so long for me to find it. Joe

Is your speed-o dropping to zero at the same time too?

I have not noticed the speedometer drop to zero. It happens very fast, I hear the chime, I look at the ABS and Brake light and its all clear again. I can happen at any time. It even happened sitting still.

Exactly my answer to the question. Although I do not think the speedo is dropping out, even though it all happens so fast, I have seen the lights flash a few times and I think by now I would have notice if the speedo dropped out, and it has also happened sitting still for me as well.

I have just had this happen as well. I hooked it up to my OBDII code reader and nothing came up. I am not sure why htis is happening.

It sucks, I know its most likely not something serious because there would be codes or the lights would be on for at least more than a half a second but its just annoying to be cruising down the road in your new truck and have lights and chimes going off randomly. Hopefully someone sees this thread that had the same problem and got it fixed.
