problem #1

Oct 262009

Ram 2500 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 57,000 miles

I have had this truck two years, purchased with 16000 miles, have never has a problem until now. when I park it, shut it off and walk away, the fog lamps turn on and never go off. when you open the door, the fog lamps do off. I have sat in the truck with it turned off and waited until the fog lamps come on. there is no indicator light that says they are on. they go out when I open the door or turn on the ignition. I called the dealer and they state the "totally Integrated Power module is at fault. Seems more like an error condition to me so I am not replacing it until I get more info.

I have been disconnecting the bettery everytime I get somewhere to keep from draining the battery.. what a freakin pain in the butt. Why would they let a module control something that already has an on/ off switch.. makes absolutely no sense. I have to turn on the freakin lights, I have to turn them off.. why the hell does the vehicle it's self turn them on.
