Hi there,
New to Rams. I bought a used 2021 3500 Longhorn last year. Haven’t used it much as I primarily use it for trailering boats around and occasional dump runs.
After getting hit in my wife’s car last week I’ve decided to put dash camera in all our vehicles. I attached the camera to the windshield and plugged the camera into the cigar light which is in the tray on the dash…….and nothing. I didn’t know if the camera was defective or the the cigar lighter wasn’t working. I plugged an adapter into the cigar lighter and still nothing.
Then manual says it should work with ACC or ignition on. It says fuse slot 93F is for the lighter. I popped the hood, find the fuse slot and it’s empty. I pull another 20 amp fuse to see if it fixes the problem and it doesn’t. In fact the fuse just falls into the slot. There is obviously no wiring/clip to hold a fuse in place. It really is just an empty plastic slot.
Has anyone else experienced this? Why the heck would a cigar lighter not be factory installed and working? Particularly on the high end model. I know I can run wires to the auxiliary switches but why should I have to when the lighter is right there.
Thanks
