Intermittent interior lights???

[Welderwilly85]

Hey guys I have a 15 ram crew cab... recently my interior light shave been acting strange... sometimes they will work when you open the doors and other times they won’t ... also does the same thing when I unlock with the fob.. when they do fail to come on I can put the key in the ignition and turn it to accessory and they will immediately come on... this happens no matter how I have the dimmer rolled .... I have checked fuses and not sure about relays ... thought someone may be able to give some insight !!!!it’s about to drive me insane!!! Thanks for any help!!

This happened to me when my alternator was going bad, and when it was going bad the LEDs would flicker like they were about to die but it was just because there wasn’t enough voltage there to run them. How’s your charging voltage with the truck on? Should be over 14.

We certainly understand why this would be concerning.

We would be more than willing to escalate your situation to a specialist who can work alongside you and your dealer while your truck is in service.

So I think I might have fixed my issues that were the same. I swapped out to different led bulbs and went through AlfaOBD and made some changes. Been working for 3 days now.

Nevermind. Back to not working again. Did find if I clear DTCs, they work again for awhile.
