problem #2

Apr 282003

Ram 1500 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles
When raining or high moisture the vehicle dies or will not start. Driving down the interstate several times it started to rain and the truck engine stopped running. Leaving me with no power steering and trying to pull off the highway in traffic. If raining or damp. When try to start, there is no such luck. We have to leave it sit in the drive unusable. When you turn the headlamps from high to low beam the lights go out. The engine light stays on most of the time.
