Turn signals not working.

[Cambie]

So I just bought a 03 ram 1500 with the 5.7. Everything was good until I went to drive it, then I realized my drivers side headlight won't work, neither front turn signals work.

Seems the only turn signal working is my rear passenger side. Seems like I've got a wiring gremlin of some kind

Any help is appreciated. TIA

Was everything working when you bought the truck and it just randomly stopped working?

No just didn't look it over good enough apparently... my thought was lights can be changed but apparently nothing is that easy.

Use a OBD2 Scan tool on it, any auto parts store should do it for free

There is a good chance that the vehicle needs a Multi Function Switch
to take care of the turn signals
It also takes care of the Headlight high beams

these people don't always make the best videos, they leave things out, but there are several videos on the same subject

Did you swap out the bulbs yet? And if you did, start by checking grounds. After you get the ohm meter out and have checked all that, double check the fuses. Once you've eliminated all the obvious there's only the TIPM left. Good luck,

Edit: Gtyankee gave some good advice while I was slowly writing--don't forget the switch.

In my experience the OBD2 tool didn't show any codes even though I had a "light out" on the dash.

I guess that it would show Stored Codes
If you just bought the vehicle, they could have recently been cleared
