Mine stuck on one time, about a month ago. When a chime started going off telling me it was still on it took me a moment to figure out what was wrong. I just assumed that since it was a wide left turn I never turned the wheel enough trigger it shutting off. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

Had you or anyone else removed the steering wheel before this started happening?

On older Rams, the signal lights, high beam, windshield wipers & washer were all controlled by one switch.
It was called the Multifunction Switch
That switch is concealed by a plastic collar below the steering wheel

You may want to research your 5th Gen Ram to see if they are still made that way

It is unusual for automakers to recall new vehicles, but this repair should be a quick fix.

It has never been apart. It happened once early on when i bought it new, but it didn't repeat for a long time after..

My 2016 Ram Limited turn signal indicator on the dash started flashing fast when turning right. Left is fine. I looked at the bulbs and they all light up and flash as they should. Do you think the flasher is going bad? TIA

 

[BigJHD]

you have a light out l

there is likely a bulb out some where

3rd brake light, cargo light
License plate light

Thanks men,
I found a couple rows on the right brake light are out. Amazon and Rock Auto have the assembly for between 262.00 and 318.00. I thought about changing over to incandescent but they won't work with the OEM LED style lights I have.

I just bought a brand new 2023 Ram 1500 BigHorn and am having this issue. It's intermittent and mostly happens when taking left turns. Sometimes it sticks on when I manually turn it off. It doesn't switch all the way and I have to almost turn it on in the other direction to turn the signal off.
