Ram 1500 Magnum 5.2L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 85,000 miles

My 97 dodge ram 1500 has a major problem with the lights. I am the second owner of this vehicle the origanl owner said it started a few years after he bought the truck. when i was driving the night right after buying the truck. I moved the steering wheel down to the lowest position the lowbeems went out and I wasn't able to see a thing luckly the high beems worked. it wasnt till the next day that i had found out that it was from moving the position of the steering wheel that i figured out what it was. so i went on line to see what it was and found that there are a lot of these trucks doing the same thing. that could have been a lot worse. Something like this should have a recall on it.
