Thought I had a short somewhere, but I'm not so sure now.

Initially, I went out to start my truck, when I started it the door ajar light stayed on, and so did the dome and cargo lights. The only way I got the dome light off was by turning the dimmer switch all the way down, to the level just above the dash lights being off. The cargo light would not turn off, and neither would the door ajar light (yes, all the doors were closed)

After pulling the fuses to get them to go off, they stayed off when the fuses were put back in.
The next morning, my radio came on when I turned the truck on, but once I started it, it wouldn't work. It was still getting power, as the clock would still display when the button was pushed. That is now an intermittent problem.

two nights ago, I noticed the headlights dimming a bit, then coming back up, as well as the heater fan (simultaneous.)

Any thoughts? Haven't checked it out thoroughly yet, voltmeter in the dash shows just over 14. There's no fluctuation in the meter when I turn on or off any electrical equipment.

Today, no problems at all. ran a couple errands, and everytime nothing happened.

Check your battery connections.. I have heard my generation trucks can get finicky when the terminals are dirty/corroded. other than that, check www.cumminsforum.com for any issues. there is a lot of info there..

Hey, Chrysler doesn't tell you how to pull codes for any newer models anymore.. Unless you have the Chrysler DRB Scantool. but I borrowed my Mom's Hubby's OTC scantool.. hopefully it will read your truck.. i'll bring it over to Rob's on Saterday.
