Your truck having headlight flicker? Goes out then comes back on? Replaced that bulb and it STILL goes out? Well sounds like your harness needs to be replaced. This video shows you how to do it. Only takes about 15-20 minutes. Easy fix. Link for the headlight harness below!
This video was so helpful. I had helped my nephew replace his bulb - with the same issue with the light intermittently going out. This video saved us from going crazy!
2012 ram is new to me. Thank you for this fix its been driving me crazy. Now to fix the exhaust manifold leak...
I changed the wiring harness and it fixed my issue. Thank you for this video.
Passenger high and low beam went out replaced harness and everything worked thank you !
Just wanted to say thank you for this. I couldn't figure out what was going on with my new LED lights and this was the issue. Great info, you have a new Subscriber now!
Very helpful video. Replaced the harness problem solved. Especially grateful for the tip about disconnecting the harness from the system ie pushing down the little green thing. Was frustrated til I remembered you pointing that out
Thanks for the video!! You saved me a lot of heartache….
Hi bro thanks so much !!! this really helped me bc i like doing it myself. Just got a 1500 and lights started doing that also the rear blinker too but i guess its same issues as you can see it kinda burned out. Thanks again
Very helpful thanks man, I'm ordering the part and hopefully it fixes it
Just replace headlights on 2016 ram crew cab, the right side is still out, thank you for the video easy to do too
Changed the bulb, changed the switch, didn't work...gonna try this. Thanks, glad it looks like something else I can do myself 👍
🔥💯 Appreciate it bro! Worked like a charm, I thought I was going to have to pay $400 for a new TIPM. You the man bro!💯
Very helpful! Thank you sir! Super easy.
Hey your video really help me out I had they same problem so I ordered me that part and it worked good 👍🏼
Awesome!
Thanks for the video. Great information, well done.
Thanks you so much for this video and the link to the harness!
Happy to help! 👋
Thanks for the info, doing mine today
Most definitely it helped out, thanks.
Yes, that is exactly my problem, very good video. By the way I like your work bench!
Thanks!
Thanks, just fixed mine.
Thanks. Great video.
Thanks for the advice sir.
Thanks bro tried it and it works perfectly except i broke the clip taking it out but replaced it and it's fine.
Cool!
With all respect ... love you bro.. 🤣🤣🤣 I subscribed...
Thank you for sharing this. I saw another video where the guy (who happened to be a certified mechanic) cut the wires behind the couplers on the main harness and soldered heavier gauge wires on that harness. My 2013 Ram had/has this problem when driving for prolonged travel, such as a several hundred mile trip. Pretty scary and very frustrating.
Indeed, VERY frustrating. Since posting this video, I haven't had any issues (fingers crossed) Thanks for the comment!
@@JoelsDriveway How this well-chronicled problem across (likely) millions of trucks wasn't/isn't a mandatory recall item, I'll never know. We have moose and bears up on my end of Interstate 35 (and I-75) and I don't want to blast one at night while pulling a 4,000 lb travel trailer in a poorly lit, sparsely populated region of the country.
@@danielhuculak1877 Very true! Limited visibility is a serious safety issue. I just watched the video you mentioned where he solderes the wires directly. Seems like a good fix as well. If mine fail again, i might try it out. Although I wonder if there will be issues in the long term.
@@JoelsDriveway ¹
You can tin the ends of cut wires but crimping is far superior to soldering. Some lights can pull more amperage than others and a solder joint will fail where a crimp joint won’t.
Awesome, def gonna try.
Thanks for the well explained repair for replacement of the harness.
nice Vdub as well
Thanks bro.
My 14 ram has projector headlights and the passenger light works sometimes and doesn’t. I checked my harness a month ago and some wires were touching bare together just outside the harness and it looked like it was trying to melt. Just curious do you think this would help mine if I change the harness also?
Did you have power to the fuse still with the bad harness after the fuse box? Both of my headlights are not working. Fuses are good but not getting any power. Thinking I might have an issue with the headlight switch?
Hi there! I was wondering how you found/figured out what the part number was. I have a Ram with the Dual Halogen headlights, as opposed to your Quad Halogen headlights.
These replacement wires are not compatible with my headlights, so I was trying to find the version that would be compatible, but I'm not having any luck in my search. Was hoping you could give me an idea of how you found these.
Thanks
Loved ❤❤❤❤gracias again so clear master 😂❤❤❤❤❤❤gracias
Anyone know what causes the shorts and of there is solution for it? Othwrwise I heard replacing these harnesses is a regular thing. Thanks for the video.
do you know exactly the location of the fuse o relay for the headlights ?
thanks
Just got my bulbs replaced both worked fine, one went then the other 2 weeks later I’m hoping this is the issue
Thank you
You bet!
Awesome
My right low beam went out so I bought a new bulb. Decided to replaced both headlight lamps (new harnesses came with new lamps) while I was at it. Now both low beams don’t work with either the new harnesses or the old harnesses
As an engineer, I’ll apologize for molar engineering. To change a friggin light bulb it should take 2 min, not 12 screws, 14 button clips, remove the grill, and the light housing lol this is ridiculous
That plastic grille is a bear if you've never had to pull it apart in past. That took the longest for me, was so careful so as not to break the grille.
Thanks!
Thanks Thomas for the support! Much appreciated 🙏
Great video! I am curious: did you get a message saying you had a burnt bulb or not? I don't have it for the left lights being out. I went ahead and ordered the new harness and will install it myself now. I sure hope it isn't a problem with the front control module, which is super pricey. Thanks for such clear cut instructions! Plus, the 'pretty face' to look at... you're a very nice looking gentleman, if I have to say so, myself. That's a definite bonus 🤩
Worked great, thanks! That was about a year ago. Looks like it happened AGAIN!!! I ordered the harness thru the link on this video. You're a lifesaver, thanks again!
Can this also happen to your tail light harnesses?
Does this work with projectors also ? I’m getting the flicker now and did the bulb swap also and still flicker
This is primarily for the Halogen bulbs but i would assume its the same issue. Check your wiring harness connections.
Did you ever have an issue where your automatic high beams were enabled, but they wouldn’t automatically shut off when another car was approaching? Or your automatic high beams would disable when no other vehicle was on the road?
No, I don't believe i have that option.
So I just changed my head like to led brand new they were working fine but my driver side head light was flickering and went out so I put my old one on and it still didn’t work you think it’s still the wire harness only thing is that I’m running H1 light bulbs
I need help
I don't think its the harness. The electrical system is having issues with the LED bulbs. Do you have resistors installed? Look up online "anti flicker resistor/capacitor" kits for your year model. They wire into your current harness and should fix your issue.
Was wondering if youve had to do this more than once? I followed this video and replaced the harness a year ago. It's out again, so I must do this a second time! ☹️
Same bubba
Was it that both headlights were flickering? Both of my headlights are doing that.
Headlight would go out and come back on. New bulb would do the same thing. Check the harness connection and see if it looks burnt/shorted. This will fix your issue.
having this issue on the driver side, saw your video bought the part but my lights don’t look anything like yours, i have a 2012 1500 and there is no wiring of any sort inside my headlight itself? nothing for me to change out i’m lost here
Same
My passenger side high and low will not work. Would it be this harness just seems weird that both will not work. I have regular bulbs too. Guess I’ll have to take it out and see if the plug harness may have went bad I hope that’s what it is. It just is strange that both high and low won’t work
I’m having this same problem. Did you figure it out ?
@@hikeemodom9613 yes the plug had to be under unplugged and cleaned then I put dielectric grease on and it hasn’t done it since. It’s easy to get too. Just pull back the plastic in the wheel well and it’s right there
My truck has the same problem but it’s flicker off and on I change the light switch but it still does the same thing
Make sure the bulb is seated properly and that none of the wires are pinched in any way. Also, sometimes the pins in the connectors tend to "back out" if pulled.
Would a new whole headlight come with a new harness?
Yes, it should.
Does one harness affect both headlights?
both my head lights r now out but the driver side was on now both out
do i need to repair both sides
Anyone else have issues with the headlights just dimming for a second when you hit the breaks or when you adjust the blower fan. Put a new alternator in and battery. Still dims.
I have an 09'. I replaced the harness but it only lasted for about 3 weeks then went out again. I think the medal prongs got damaged. Because i really had to force the connector together until I heard the click, but it almost sounded like something broke.
Did you ever figure it out?
Had both the passenger side high and low go out Neither one will work can it be this harness or something else It’s just weird that both will not work
Mine also. Looking for answer. Did you figure it out?
@@pugsley735 Did you find out what the problem was? If not, probably should look into replacing the FCM, front control module. It is situated underneath and attached to the TIPM unit, driver's side engine block, by the fuse box. Unfortunately, 4th generation Dodge trucks have an issue with the unit going bad, and taking headlight power out. It's pricey, even for a refurbed one. Bastards know it and never bothered to correct the vulnerability. It is QUITE unreasonable to expect owners to pay $400-1000 to fix headlights. Of course, the manufacturer doesn't want to pay for a safety recall, unless the NHTSA forces them to. Such crap!
@@colleenthompson4069 mine was a loose clip but sucked. Now both sides are replaced
@@pugsley735 I fixed it with the help of this video, yay! It WAS the burnt harness and not the front control module, as I'd originally feared. I will say that the dismantling of grille and light housing was a lot more trouble than video gave hint to. I am so grateful for this video and the link for new part.
@@colleenthompson4069 I left grill in.
What white clip? I can’t see a damn thing
