Thank you, Russ and Tina! This makes me all the more glad that our farm truck is a 1997 Dodge (before the truck line was renamed Ram). 🙂
That’s nothing new! Our 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 has had this issue since day 1. I can’t recall how many times we had this switch replaced both under warranty and out. That are just now realizing there is an issue? Figures!!
