I FOUND OUT THAT MY DODGE HAD ONLY THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT WORKING, NO TURN SIGNALS, THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT ONLY WORKED ON LOW BEAM, AND THE DRIVERS HEADLIGHT ONLY WORK ON HIGH BEAM. I REPLACED EVERY BULB IN THE TRUCK AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE INTEGRATED DISTRIBUTION CENTER ( FUSE BOX) HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH CORROSION INSIDE THE BOX. I LOOKED EVERYWHERE FOR A NEW ONE, NO LUCK. I THEN CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THEY SEARCHED THE ENTIRE U.S. AND NOT ONE DEALER HAD A FUSE BOX. I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER USED THIS FUSE BOX ONLY IN 2005 AND THEY HAVE DISCONTINUED THE PART. I WAS ACTUALLY TOLD BY CHRYSLER TO TRY EBAY. WITH ALL THE 2005 DODGE RAMS AND SEVERAL OTHER MAKES AND MODELS STILL ON THE ROAD, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THEY CAN JUST STOP MAKING A PART VITAL TO THE VEHICLE. HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS. IF THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES CAN NOT FIND A USED FUSE BOX THEN THE VEHICLE BECOMES A LAWN ORNAMENT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND RESOLVED. I AM NOW PAYING MY MONTHLY TRUCK PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE SAFELY.
