Recently, the lamp out light came on. It would come on and go off over and over.(with the associated chime...which made me crazy) I checked all the lights and they are all working, the issues seems to be the rear passenger side turn signal...which doesnt work.

Any suggestions on what to check? I replaced the bulb when I thought it was just an issue with the light, but that hasn't solved the blinker issue.

Thanks.

It's the circuit board. Easily replaced. Learn how to do it, you'll be doing it again if you keep the stock taillights lol.

Cool. Thank you. I've been considering replacing the taillights and especially the headlights...they work fine but very yellow no matter how much clean them.

Walked into O'Reilly's and had this conversation:

Counter Guy: What can I do for you?
Me: I need a taillight circuit board for my truck.
Him: You have a dodge?
Me: Yeah (somewhat surprised)
Him: You aren't the first guy with a dodge to have this problem.

I'll get the part tomorrow and hopefully have it all squared away.

I've taken the thing off a few times and it never occurred to me that it could be the problem.

YUP, on MY 19 Bighorn with non BSG Level 2 Optional Equipment. BTW, all Interior were incandescent also. I changed all them out, but was hating LIFE with that PITA upper console. The only thing I left reg bulb was glove box (lower). Upper box LED plate. I could do the CHMSL but with all the leak issues, just gonna leave a lone, not wanna tempt fate. And I have a full solid tonneau ne way.....

NOTE: NE BODY that goes to play with upper console on MY 19, beware, there are (2)_ hidden plastic tabs also into the head;liner that are located near the screws in the glasses holder but a lil towards rear of truck. I did not know they were there, and BROKE them both off, Beware, LOL...

Is there any way to test those circuit boards? It would be nice to have brake lights, but I don't want to buy parts I don't need.
