- Low beams do not work and high beams don't stay on in your 94-01 Dodge Ram(or similar head light/dash light issues)? Check the head light switch/plug for heat damage/corrosion
The spring button to remove the knob, so simple...but yet I didn't know about it and almost got out my Sawzall. Lol
Thanks for the video!!!
Thank you very much for this video that's exactly the same thing that happened to mine and I just stumbled on the fact that the parking lights still work and if I pull on the I-beam lever and hold it then the high beams work so I was able to limp home by holding on to the lever and pulling it toward me while driving.
While exploring a little bit I did find the button that releases the shaft and knob. Cheers
Glad this video helped! Cheers
Thank you for the video, I never would have known to push that spring loaded button in to release the pull know. I snapped one of the tabs off trying to pull the thing apart for the plug in box but double zip-ties seem to hold it solid.🤷♂️ Thanks again, Dan
Those tabs are unreasonably stiff for sure! Glad the video helped!
Same exact thing mine is doing now. Thanks for the help!
Exact same problem! Thank you
THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT FIXED MY PROBLEM THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!
Thanks man
Came across your video while in park waiting on my lights to work again. I’v found on my way home if I stop the truck and turn it off, the lights work well for about 10 minutes. Got another 20 minutes to go til I’m home.
Anyways, where did you buy your switch from? I’m looking on Amazon and they only have the dial switches in a 98 ram. I’m looking for the same one you have in the pull style.
Or… did you buy the kit without the plastic pull handle and display face and then just use your original pieces with the new internal pieces I’m seeing on Amazon?
I don't see any receipt in my email, so I believe I got this from the local Napa auto parts. It was just the switch and I had to transfer the face plate and pull knob into it
I’m having the exact same issue with my 98.5 second gen I can’t fine any info on it. When I start driving I have about 10 minutes of headlights before they start flickering for a while then eventually quit all together. I give them a break and they work again like described. Did the new switch fix your issue?
upgrade to newer style switch? possible?
Not that I'm aware of to fit that plug. Other one lasted 20 years and 200,000 miles tho
Headlight lever. Isn’t it more of a knob???
Probably better terminology
Ain't this a caravan?
No it's a ram genius
THE SWITCH IS THE MAIN THING HERE AND IT IS 2 PARTS AND NONE OF THESE VIDEOS SHOW THEM TAKE THE SWITCH APART WHY YOU DAMAGE THE SWITCH AND ITS ALL OVER YOU COULDN'T SHOW US THE WAY THE 2 PART SWITCH COMES APART THATS THE WHOLE JOB WHY
I didn't have anyone to hold the camera for me and only have two hands. I didn't damage the old switch coming out anymore than it was already damaged. Listen to what I say in the video. Hold that springed plunger down, and pulled the knob completely out of the switch. Then get some pliers and screw off that piece I show you. Then it's apart. No video for because it's actually really easy, so calm your caps lock and try it before you get frustrated
Where can you find the part?
Lmao. No. A Caravan is a minivan. Not a truck.
