Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / September 2008Reason Why a turn signal inficator would stay on?
The right side is constantly lit, when the key is in ON position. I did change out some bulbs, then it started working fine, but today the light stays on the whole time even when the switch is not in the position of the afflicted one. When you put the switch in the position for the right side, it will blink, though very slowly. Once every 20-30 seconds? Thanks >The right side is constantly lit, when the key is in ON position. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Thanks it sounds like you have a ground wire problem still. ohm meter the ground wire from the plugback to the battery terminal. use the lowest ohm scale and look for near zero ohms add-ons: trailer hitch plugs, plow light packages , among others many can cause weird problems. An aftermarket radio can cause weird elecrtical problems too if it does not have a good solid ground. >> The right side is constantly lit, when the key is in ON position. >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > An aftermarket radio can cause weird elecrtical problems too > if it does not have a good solid ground. Irrelevant! GeekBoy's question is "Once every 20-30 seconds?" We're not there, GeekBoy, but you can count 'one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand, three-one-thousand...' and so on to measure the interval. >>> The right side is constantly lit, when the key is in ON position. >>> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > two-one-thousand, three-one-thousand...' and so on to measure the > interval. No..try READING the SUBJECT and you will see a question posted there. If you cannot see it, most operating systems have the ability to enlarge the text so people with seeing disability can read better. >>>> The right side is constantly lit, when the key is in ON position. >>>> [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > No..try READING the SUBJECT and you will see a question posted there. So you don't know where to place a question. Why don't you just put your whole post into the subject line? > If you cannot see it, most operating systems have the ability to enlarge > the text so people with seeing disability can read better. Magnifying it just makes your error bigger. >>The right side is constantly lit, when the key is in ON position. >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > An aftermarket radio can cause weird elecrtical problems too > if it does not have a good solid ground. Thanks for that info... The vehicle has both after market old radio, and hitch wiring. The right side head lamps are also half as bright as left side. >>> The right side is constantly lit, when the key is in ON position. >>> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > The right side head lamps are also half as bright as left side. So that's a big clue. And your trailer probably does not even have head lamps. >>>The right side is constantly lit, when the key is in ON position. >>> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > >The right side head lamps are also half as bright as left side. DING! That is the bell announcing a winner. You have a ground problem, probalby near the lamp socket. >>>>The right side is constantly lit, when the key is in ON position. >>>> [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > DING!

The function properly until I turn the headlights on, then do the same hing for the right side again. Looks like a ground to the headlight problem. Oh where to look, since most of the wiring is located in that plastic wire tubing. Guess that gives me an area to look closer where the wires are not inside that tubing.

What's a inficator and why don't I have one. 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 SWB 2 Door hood and a tailgate. Oh yeah its a 4.7 a/c still only works on driver side even though its single control (maybe I'll tear into the dash when weather gets cooler) and it came with a aftermarket tool box. Do I need one? >>> The right side is constantly lit, when the key is in ON position. >>> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >even though its single control (maybe I'll tear into the dash when weather >gets cooler) and it came with a aftermarket tool box. Do I need one? Hard to say if you need a tool box or not, but I find mine handy both for tools (duh...) and for a cooler to store stuff when I go grocery shopping. The tool box is much cooler thna the cab in the summer. I'd say since you have it keep it. <bseg> For the A/C, maybe a hose came off? >>>> The right side is constantly lit, when the key is in ON position. >>>> [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > For the A/C, maybe a hose came off? I wish it was a hose but the electronics is smarter than me!!! When I forget to turn off the inficator it dings a bell. I'd say probably a electronic high priced motor. Maybe I ought to start riding in the tool box. >>>>> The right side is constantly lit, when the key is in ON position. >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] >forget to turn off the inficator it dings a bell.
