What owners wrote
2003 dodge ram 1500 quad cab rear lamp failure. I have had two rear lamp failures one on the left side and one on the right side brake lamp. Upon replacing lamp, lamp was in good condition but base where contact with electrical was made was burned on both bulbs.
Dt*: the contact stated while using the left turn signal, the right side blinks. When the right turn signal was engaged, nothing happened. The contact verbally spoke with the local dealership and manufacturer about the problem, although the vehicle was not repaired. Updated 3/3/2006 -
