I recall reading that some time the main control board (can't remember the correct name....next to the battery) can develop breaks in the solder joints which make the lights fail. Some guys take it all apart & re-solder....some run a new wire with a relay to run the lights.

I believe you're referring to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) as the module that may fail due to bad solder joints. That's a good possibility, but if we knew the year and model of your Ram we might be able to also offer some other suggestions.

You posted in the Ram section. I will move this to the Charger section.
