Problem overview

Some Dodge Ram 2500 owners report experiencing intermittent malfunctions with their wipers and turn signals, which can lead to dangerous driving conditions. These issues may include turn signals failing to activate correctly, sometimes causing the opposite signal to turn on. Additionally, some owners have found that their windshield wipers may stop functioning altogether or behave erratically, such as making multiple swipes or stopping unexpectedly. Potential causes for these malfunctions could be linked to the body control module (BCM), which manages various electronic components, or could stem from motor and switch failures. To address these problems, it is recommended to check the wiring, park switch in the wiper motor, and multifunction switch. Some drivers have also reported success in resolving these issues by disabling auto-sensing wipers using diagnostic tools like AlfaOBD. Prompt attention to these concerns is essential for safe operation, and consulting a certified mechanic for diagnosis and repair is advisable.
