Description of the problem | Dodge wants to charge $300 to swap out the bulb on the drivers' side blinker which can be done easily in about 10 minutes with regular or led bulb, however it seems that after having swapped out the bulb which shorted out on the terminal connector itself (why is my brand new car causing shorts first of all) so i installed an led on the right side as well. However, that caused problems saying the right blinker is out. So now, regardless of whether i have the led or the regular light installed on the passenger side blinker it now goes in and out saying "right side blinkder out" - and that's even when it works!??!!! Why is the computer thinking the blinker is out when i see it works? Granted, the stupid left side stopped being dumb but now is there some attenuation or something that the computer doesn't like since you burned out my first bulb and it's causing issues at the right side? Dodge needs to address this as a recall under warranty because it is absolutely an issue, it's not a bulb problem, it occurs with any bulb and whether it i actually out or not is not accurate per the reporting from the computer. Sometimes it says it's out and it is, other times it says it's out and it's not... This is a major safety issue notifying other surrounding people/vehicles of intent to turn. |
