The 02 1500 I had was doing the same thing. It turned out to be the brake light on the driver side. The bulb in the middle had a loose connection,so I replaced it and everything was fine. The bulb I took out was fine it wasnt blown or anything. If I hit a bumb the light on the dash would come so I figured it was a bad connection somewhere. Hope this helps.

Had the same thing on my 03 1/2 ton. I looked for weeks to find the problem. I finally found a little rust on the passenger side tail light assembly, where the bulbs plug in. I pulled all of the bulbs and cleaned the connection areas. Never had anymore problems. Mine also only did it on rough roads. Hope this helps.

ive been meaning to get back to this thread and tell you all my problem but lost track of things... the problem was not a loss connection, a burnt out bulb, or a computer error! the problem was the DAMN FRIEND DOING THE LIGHT CHECK ME FOR[:@]!!!!! i had him walk around and check every light, the blinkers, the breaks, and reverse and he said everythings working. well it turned out to be a brake light out so f.y.i make sure you have someone w/ atleast some intelligence when doing a light check
