Archived haunted truck

[CHarris]

I am on a trip and the warning ding keeps going off whenever I use the left turn signal and the ( lamp out ) message appears. I checked all the lights and they are all working. The flashers turned on on their own, once when I was driving and once when I was in the motel room. While the truck is running fine I don't know how long I can last with that dinging sound..... 600 miles to go.

2003 quad cab 4x4 automatic diesel.

I don't have my 3d Gen books w/ me, so I would just remove the chime.

Check your wiring harness to the rear lights (just under the front fender in front of the drivers door) and check the rear lights as well. Seems to be a recurring problem with the 3rd Gen's. Check the search feature. Good luck!

I believe there is a TSB for that. Maya want to investigate that also.

Lamp-out indicator with aftermarket pickup box installation.

This information-only bulletin discusses situations where an aftermarket utility box is installed after the removal of the original equipment pickup box. Under the circumstances the lamp-out indicator may illuminate. This is due to the use of aftermarket rear stop and turn signal lamps which use a dual filament bulb instead of separate circuits for the stop and turn indicator. The bulletin then describes the reprogramming procedure to reset the lamp-out indicator.



Could it be??
