Ram 1500 4WD 8-cyl

  • 43,000 miles
I have a problem with the windshield wipers on my 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab. They will not run for more than one to two minutes on continuous wipe. After that time they will only wipe at an intermittent speed which varies from once every two seconds to once every twenty to thirty seconds, whatever they feel like wiping at. This is a very dangerous situation which I found out just the other day while traveling home from work in a steady rain. During the trip home it became very difficult to see and very unsafe. It is a very insecure feeling not knowing when your wipers will clear your windshield again in a steady rain.

I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 slt that when you turn the left turn signal on the right turn signal flashes. When you turn the windshield wipers on the fastest speed is delay. The problem was happening once in awhile now it is happening on a daily basis. Took it to a Dodge dealership they couldn't find any problem but did change the multifunction switch.

Ram 1500

  • 55,000 miles
The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. While driving approximately 35 mph, the contact attempted to engage the left turn signal but it did not respond. The failure had become intermittent and when engaging the turn signals either the opposite turn signal would illuminate or neither would function. He also stated that the windshield wiper would not operate intermittently. The vehicle was not examined for the cause of failure and was not repaired. The contact stated that the multifunction switch was previously replaced to correct the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileage was 55,000.
