DOME LIGHTS GO ON & OFF IN 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON

WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON AND YOU HIT GAS PEDAL THE DOME LIGHTS COME ON. THEY GO OFF SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE EASY ON THE PEDAL. THE DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE WOULD UNLOCK THE DOORS BUT WOULD NOT LOCK THEM. I USED THE DIMMER SWITCH TO TURN DOWN DASH LIGHTS TO LOWEST SETTING & THE DOME LIGHTS STAY OFF UNTIL I TURN THE SWITCH BACK TO FULL LIGHT FOR DASH LIGHTS & NOT ALL THE WAY FOR DOME LIGHTS.

Replace the dimmer control. The door lock switch needs to be inspected. Repair may be possible.

SOURCE: Driver side door switches are not working. Dome

My power locks, windows didn't work and the dome lights would not turn off after closing the door. I removed the black boot that was attached to the drivers door by lifting upward and pulling away from the door. A heavy gauge black wire was broken. I removed about 3/16" of insulation from both ends of the broken wire and connected them by using a connector that both ends are placed in to and then "crimped" both ends so the broken wire made contact with each other and everything worked perfectly! The hardest part was replacing the boot. Total cost to fix is $0.50.

SOURCE: Power lock and dome light does not come on when door is opened.

I had the same problem with my 2005 dodge ram 3500 and found the wires were being pinched that run through the rubber boot on my right rear door. I had this fixed by dodge but there splice didn't last, so I took some 16ga wire and spliced it into the wire that operates the power door lock on that side and it fixed the problem. Dodge service shop did a sad job of splicing the wires back together by twisting the wires together and tape and wire broke.

With headlights on and hit the brakes the trailor lights go off

Usually a ground problem in the harness. The brake lights use the ground that the clearance lights are using.

No tail lights come on with headlights on

Check the fuses. Taillights are independent from the fuses the operate the turn, brake, and reverse lights.

Would a blown fuse be the cause of a Dodge 1500 losing tail light

Hello. Definitely check the fuses, but also check the ground for the lights in the rear end as your symptoms could also be the result of a poor ground.

Head lights turn on but not the back lights on 1999 V6 Dodge ram 1500

Make sure that the fuse for the tail lights is not blown out. There may be a separate fuse for both the headlights and tail lights for your car.

Dome Light

If it's like my 96 Ram, the dome light and headlights share a relay switch. My dome light turned on with only my parking lights on and the replacing the relay took care of it.

2001 dodge ram 1500 brake lights

I would guess the brake fuse ( this does not use the same fuse as the tail lights/blinkers) or the ground for the brake light bulb.
