Problem overview

Some Dodge Ram 1500 owners report experiencing turn signal malfunctions, including incorrect flashing when making turns and intermittent functionality. Users have noted that activating the left turn signal can sometimes trigger the right turn signal, indicating a potential switch malfunction. Additionally, some owners face issues with turn signals that operate intermittently, changing speeds while in use, and complete failure of the hazard switch. Even after replacements, problems with the turn signal switch can resurface, particularly after the warranty period has expired. In certain cases, the multifunction switch may need replacement if it is found to be inoperative or malfunctioning. Furthermore, troubleshooting wiper malfunctions may require checking the wiper module for temperature sensitivity issues and possibly replacing it. The multifunction switch, which governs various functions such as headlights and wipers, is also prone to failure, highlighting the importance of addressing these issues promptly to ensure vehicle safety and proper operation.
