2006 Dodge Ram tipm issue and fix no low beam

[@wheyez1]

I put after factory headlights and bulbs in my 06, the tipm didn’t like the amp draw so it shut down the circuit. I installed two relays for high and low then wired the lamps together. I used the tipm to power the relays and it was ok with that amount of draw. I did do a hard reset on the system to get the tipm to work again. So far it’s working. I heard some auto parts stores have the ability to flash the tipm but I haven’t checked that out.

[@pablocalvillo8921]

How did you reset it??

[@adamp3042]

I have an 08 Avenger that this happened to a few years ago when a bulb blew. What I did was, I got a couple relays and used the parking light as the "signal" wire and wired it as you wire a relay and added fuses too. Of all the things for Dodge to NOT put an inline fuse. I've had to change the relay a couple times, but it's been like this for about 5 or 6 years. I hit a deer not too long ago and when I was fixing that damage i ran all of the wiring through the factory harness so it doesn't look as bad.

Same issues to mine with projector headlights. I installed resistors and the low beams work when there put on high beams.

I hear that I've always been a Chevy guy to heart every vehicle I've owned. Except for this 07 ram I bought with no headlights or brake lights. Figured it would be a quick easy fixer fuck I was wrong

I've been battling this low beam TIPM crap on an 07 Jeep Compass for about three years now. Last night I actually had the idea to use the fog lights to power the low beams. I thought I was being original, LOL. I didn't think of using a fuse though. I'm going to go pick one up now, so thanks for that. How has this repair held up?

[@alm7186]

Matt Morgan Great I have not had any issues I did replace my tipm with used Dorman started haveing crazy shifting issues being put in limp mode for no reason at all

[@scotthulsey8763]

My tipim is not sending signal to one blinker bulb! I have had my 2006 since 2007 motor and trans have been great .Thinking of running a wire from rear on same side which is working to front. blinker.

[@tw4954]

Same issue with mine as well.

Hey my dodgeram 1500headlight was not working but I found out that the plugs on fog light was burnt and I changed them also the headlights to headlights came back on but there's no low beams and low beam are not working but the high beams are so that mean I'm getting power. The turn signal stopped working so I rewired the brake light turn signals are working now but no brake lights sorry for making it so long but can you help me thank you

2006 pt cruiser, passenger side low beam out, high beam works, stupid ass tipm, drivers side works on wife car. Anyway you can walk me through how you did this fix? It was hard me to understand what you did, thanks

[@alm7186]

Yeah so buy hid kit for ur wife's car and one side powers both low beams how I did it so find the hot on the fog light plug cut it and run wire to the low beam side on ur head light cut it then just have ur fog light button control ur low beams and if you want to have normal bulbs then just run another wire off the other fog light

[@juliusmucciante6205]

Just bought an 06. What is the amber strip along the base of the headlight for. Mine dont come on. Yes i changed the bulbs

[@bigwalt639]

Julius Mucciante it’s a running light, comes on with switch in center position. Mine worked as soon as I switched the bulbs, but they’re not very bright, I wouldn’t miss it if it wasn’t there

[@slowmojoe69]

I have a 2014 dodge ram 1500 and I installed led lowbeam and high beam on the passenger side and thank God I didn't on the other side. So my high beam is shot and the lowbeam was not working properly so I put the normal bulbs back in and the low beam only comes on when it I have the daytime running lights on and if I switch the lights to the on position lowbeam shuts off and the marker light come on. It should be the other way around, it's like the TIPM is confused.

[@alm7186]

15amps low beam 20amp high beam I just went online and went on like hid website and found it I plan to make follow up video with this in the last year I have found and fixed lot more issues and it might help everyone

[@alm7186]

If I remember I put 10 amp ones in it based on 35w hid kit I have in the truck

[@mikedd87]

I had 3 turn signals, all parking lamps, and my drivers side headlight stop working all at the same time. Its sounding like the tipm in my 05 as well. I'll never by a dodge/Chrysler/jeep vehicle for the rest of my life.

[@davephawke8944]

I also have the same problem with my head lights on my 2007 dodge ram 1500 5.7 hemi I have been fighting with Dodge canada since 2013 that's when the problems started driver side daytime running light does not work passenger side does work low beams driver side works passenger side does not work high beam driver side does not work passenger side doesn't work if you are in Canada you need to file a complaint with Transport Canada and the same would go for you in the United States there are many complaints about this on Dodge forums about the totally integrated power module it is complete garbage and Dodge completely refuses to do anything about it but you can go and buy a new fuse box for $900 and now they have upgraded that fuse box and it now cost $2,100 that is bulshit and a joke I can't afford a new fuse box

[@adammatlick990]

I put a tipm in fixed problem but it came back year later don't waste mine on tipm

[@acklynkurr8586]

my 2005 dodge ram 5.7 fog lights not on need help

[@alm7186]

Acklyn Kurr 2005 should not have tipm check to see if you do but 2006 was year they started to put them in unless it's late in the year 2005 ? But just do what I did same idea

[@williammorales9185]

Yeah no shit, for $1000+ bucks i can buy me two new AR-15's(a much better allocation of funds IMHO).
