High beam and or low beam lights quit or go off from time to time. Dealer said its a "tipm" computer. At a cost of over $800 to replace or $100 to flash the computer to repair" can only be flashed 3 - 4 times before it has to be replaced. All the wiring and connections are good. Dealer said it was probably because of a faulty bulb and burned out the "tipm" ? I dont know, but sounds like a problem that Dodge needs to address. If left unchecked / repaired it will slowly disable all the head lights high and low, plus the day time and fog lights. Not for sure when it started as I had just bought it from a individual, and only noticed it when switching from high to low beams. The truck has 130,000 miles. They say this can happen when trailer wires were incorrectly added? again this is suppose to be Dodge pulling truck but with no $2 fuses to replace, just an $ $800 fix? really Dodge?"

When using the left turn signal, both signal lights would become active on the tail lights, but only show left turn on the dash. When using the right turn, no light would work at all. Turned out to be the turn signal multifunction switch, which after searching also can affect the head lights working or not, and windshield wipers. I have checked on the internet forums and have found this happening on many Dodge, mostly 2006 and newer.

The wipers quit working, then the blinkers and the high and low on the headlights.
