Long time lurker. First time poster.

Having a issue with my 2015 Ram R/T. My headlights turn on when the switch is just on parking lights, I am occasionally getting a trailer maintenance message, and last night I got a error saying on of my low beams was out when it was on.

Is this a sign of the computer going cookoo. The truck currently has 75k. I'm wondering before my extended warranty runs out.

Not sure what's going on, but I would take it in. At least you have evidence it started prior to warranty expiration.

Curious question. Did you recently jump start anyone, get a new battery, or drive in water?

I had a front headlight error message and it was one of the LED signal bulbs that had failed which caused it on my 2015 sport with factory projectors. I also had a "service trailer brake" after a 10 hour drive on salty highways and the dealer told me it was possibly due to corrosion at the trailer plug on the rear bumper. Just a few things to look at

Ok, i just like to ask questions sometimes, doing my research. These trucks have electrical problems sometimes i read, supposedly caused by corrosion or power surges. Read one where one corroded temp sensor caused several issues for one guy. But i would definately have it looked at under that warranty if you could. And please let us know the outcome.
