Hello fellow Dodge lovers. A buddy of mine referred me to this forum when I asked him a question. He couldn't answer it, but thought someone here might be able to.

I have a 1992 Dodge RAM 2500 with a 5.9 litre Cummins diesel. I'm the second owner, buying it from the original owner in 2000, and I still love it. It hauls my 27 foot 5th wheel trailer along with no problems. A few years ago I installed 40 hp injectors, and a 4 inch exhaust. That made hauling even easier.

Recently I've had a problem with my headlights. When I have the high beams on for a while all of a sudden all my lights go out. Everything goes out...even my dash lights. If I stop and turn them off for a minute or so, they come on and all is well for a while ... then it happens again. This problem doesn't happen with low beams on, so lately I've been restricting myself to low beam.

I've checked the wiring, the connectors, changed the headlights, sprayed connection cleaner into the dimmer switch, all with no luck. I'm wondering if there is some kind of overload relay or solenoid in the circuit that is cutting out. I have a manual with circuit diagrams, but can't see one.

I'm hoping that some Dodge afficionado out there may have had this problem in the past and know where else I might look.

Hoping to hear from you ... Bob

 

Welcome to the site. I will move this thread to the Cummins section, but I thing your clock spring in the steering column may n=be to blame,

Welcome to the forum.

 

welcome,

i would start with the headlight switch, pull it out and check the connections and replace if needed,
