Consumer states he owns a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 pick up truck. While hauling a trailer, the wires from the trailer became caught between the trailer and the trailer hitch of the vehicle. This caused the wiring harness system to burn out. This caused the fuel gauge to fail, it shorted out the fuse to the fuel pump causing the engine to stall. The consumer has contacted the service dealer. He stated this was a serious problem with the vehicle. The service dealer stated the wiring harness came with a 40 amp fuse. The consumer asked for a 30 amp fuse to be installed but the service dealer would not install this type of fuse. The consumer contacted the manufacturer; they said they would consider refunding the consumers money for repairing the vehicle. A new harness has been installed in the vehicle. There was a recall issued for the wiring harness, the recall service was performed August 2, 1999.
