New to forum but have been lurking for some time now.
I have a 2004 dodge ram 2500 quad cab hemi only has 36000 on it. I am having the headlight lamp out issue that I have read on here before but mine is a little different.
When the issue first came up I replaced the 9007 pigtails on both sides even though the driver side was out. All light bulbs are fine. All worked drove it some then the passenger side went. So replaced both pigtails again and it worked for a while. Now it is acting up again. While working on it I noticed that while I am on the passenger side if I move the wiring near the firewall towards the cab the passenger light would go off and on. Is there a ground going or is there something that playing tricks with me.
I do not think that I need a new control box as the lights are on now but who knows for how long. My battery is a little older, could a not so great battery do this. The truck starts fine but the ammeter on the dash says it is on the lower end.
Lastly, do the headlights get really hot while in use? I just do not remember any of my other vehicles getting that hot. Maybe its just me.
If this is posted in the wrong thread I apologize I am just looking for help to get this resolved once and for all. Thanks for any help!
