    '96 1500 4x4 - Towing Issues

    Electrical Issues - Need Help

    I have a '96 Ram 1500 regular cab that has been an absolute dream to own, right up until about a week ago. The ignition switch cylinder broke and I had to replace it as well as the piece that it fits into that is mounted on the side of the column (the piece that has the lighted ring). Got that...
