holy crap, i've been having the same problem man
It's been doing it for like a month now
of course it only happens at night when i got the headlights on.....they'll just cut off but the park lights will stay on
then they will cut back on after a few seconds
this makes it extremely difficult to drive at night
makes me nervous that i'll get pulled over or something
lol
anyways i got a 97 Reg Cab V6
any help appreciated here also

mine is still doing it every so often, It was doing it last night so i pulled apart the dash and checked out the switch like said above and the thing was smokin hot
My thought is that it's gettin super hot and then shuttin it off for a few
pull yours when it acts up again and let me know if it's hot
I looked into a new switch at a local advance auto and they said around 33 bucks, but they didn't have it there and they couldn't get it for a few days so i may try back and try the new switch
let me know what you find out man

My 95 has parking lights, flashers, turn signals, brights when turn signal lever is pulled. I replaced the combination block [piece the turn signal is on]($70.00 from Dodge), I replaced the light switch($20.00 from Dodge), the light bulbs are ok.....HELP!! I've asked several mechanics at Dodge dealers, and several independent mechanics, with NO ANSWERS. There are not supposed to be any fusable links involved. I shined up the grounds. Anyone have any ideas? Please send me info at rnjpeter@fallsnet.com. Thanks in advance. Ron

I have a 94. It's doing the same thing. I noticed that when it happens, it kind of smells like burning plastic. I'm totally lost on this. I've tried everything.

I was driving today and noticed that my High Beam dash light was on even though I did not have my lights on. I stopped and turned off the truck and got out to look. My High Beasm were still on even thought the light switch was off. I had to disconnect the battery to get them to go off.
Anyone have any ideas on what happened?

I had that happen to my truck, I brought it to the dealer and they told me nothing was wrong. Funny thing is it never happened again.
Apparently they fixed it.
Later,

Had the problem of the low beams not coming on intermittently when switching back from the high beams, and it was the switch. I knew because I could play with the lever, but not enough to reactivate the high beams, and the lows would come back on. The good news is it's pretty easy to replace.

Hey guys. I sprayed some contact cleaner into the dimmer stalk and moved it around a little to clean it out and the problem went away for a while. I think that dust or something gets into the dimmer switch.
