Owners of 2014-2017 Dodge Ram ProMaster vehicles may experience an “external lighting failure” indicator light along with accelerated blinking during turn signal operation.
This applies to vehicles built on or before May 24, 2017, and equipped with Wide Power Heated Mirrors. The inner turn signal amber lens in the door mirror may be distorted from excessive heat.
Upon investigation, the technician may find the following DTCs:
-
B1008-18 (right turn lamp – under current)
-
B1007-18 (left turn lamp – under current)
Using a scan tool with the appropriate diagnostic procedures available in TechCONNECT, verify that all related systems are functioning properly. If other DTCs are found, address/correct these before proceeding.
