Question edited for clarity, make name 'doge' to Dodge. Question moved to sub category. Check that you have the wires in the correct places to match the firing order diagrams. https://www.google.com/search?q=1996+dodge+ram+1500+firing+order+diagram ..

does the fuse keep blowing ?? it is also on the same line as the cigarette lighter if the fuse is blowing check that there is nothing stuck in the lighter socket that is shorting it out. Could also be a bad ground wire not makeinig contact.

Here's a link to a pdf file containing the headlight wiring diagram for your year model Dodge Ram 1500..I can't help but notice that you say you've replaced the headlight relay? That's quite odd, because there is NO headlight relay on this vehicle- only a 40 amp fuse located in the power distribution box that sits behind the battery inside the engine bay.The switch is notorious for burning out because there is NO RELAY on this vehicle, and there is a recall (#819) but this only affects 3500 models even though the headlight wiring is the same for 1500,2500 and 3500 model Rams.Here are two more links that will help you troubleshoot your headlights problems.HereInformation on Putting a Relay in the Wiring System

Sounds like it's worn out, best take into the shop for repair, should only cost $20 with parts.

check the fuel filter and pump. if the ignition spark is ok.

Bad starter solenoid or ignition switch

Code 352 means ignition coil 2 and 356 means ignition coil 6 not plugs. Code 420 means catalyst system below threshold most likely caused by the coil problem. Code 455 means exhaust leak.

Sounds like it's running rich when it should be pulling off the "choke" as it's warm-ish. Maybe a temperature sensor somewhere.

Sounds like an aftermarket security system.

idle air controll motor is bad

I have blown tail lights in my 96 Dodge Ram 1500
Can anyone help me

check the crankshaft position sensor it may be sending a varying signal to computer

should have some cotter pins on frame you can pull to put everything in place and on column in engine bay

ROTATE THE FRONT TO BACK,AND BACK TO REAR.

Sounds like there may be a short in the system... I would do the usual... check the fuses, then the relays, if both are good, try giving the light switch itself a little wiggle, if the lights starts flickering then check behind the switch and look at the wires and the harness, check the plug itself, and the switch, check the blades, if they move then replace the switch.

Has a tune up been done recently? If not may want to replace the plugs , wires,cap and ignition rotor. Also, find out if the previous owner had ever changed the fuel pump. The fuel filter is located on the the fuel pump assembly and can become clogged to create a lean fuel condition and make the engine sluggish.

most likely you have a short some where just keep looking ry bbbind.com great site for auto electrical

Being a 96, you best bet is a dealer. Very pricey.They should be able to get the main harnesses.Engine, body and interior.Smaller ones will be obsolete. Shouldn't be many of them.
