Electrical question on a Dodge Ram... again

[RR|Suki]

:mad2: Ok so this time the reverse lights are stuck on... even when the truck is off... would the reverse light switch cause this? I'm at a loss :mad:

I had a similar problem in my old car. It was caused by a bad switch in the steering column. The backup lights would turn on when i shook the shifter even whrn the car was off. The car was over 25 years old though. (I inherrited a P.O.S.)

What can I say, it's a Dodge.
Be happy it's just the reverse lights stuck on, and not the starter.

Sounds like a defective switch.

I believe that the switch for the reverse lights is on the transmission.

Sounds like a defective switch.

Yeah, but with the ignition switch off? :dunno:

Sounds like a couple of wires shorted to me :eek: .....I hope you have a fire extinguisher at the ready.

Take out the bulbs for now.. or just pull the connectors off inside the rear sheet metal...then go to the tranny and pull the plug...

Reverse light switch.
