Came home and found my parking lights stuck on in my 2004 Ram 2500. This was a very helpful video to help me remove the casing to get to the circuit board and find the trace with a 12 ohm short to adjacent trace. Fixed the problem. Thanks for your time and for putting this out there! you saved me some time doing this!

Sprinkles IS THE MAN! I just did this repair. Had 5 corrosion breaks on the circuit that controls marker lights and tail lights. Soldering the gaps was tricky, so I used some thin wire and silver solder to bridge the gaps. Then sealed everything with silicon. This saved over $650 Canadian.

Thanks a lot for this video. I know it's 13 years old.....but this video helped me disassemble & fix my IPM on my 2002 Dodge Ram. Saved me a ton of money and only took a few hours to fix. Corroded board, no tail lights......same old same old. Dodge should really replace these for free. Who ever heard of a fuse box going bad? Anyway, Thank You!!!

Dodge should also replace the dashboard. Talk about crap, the dash is like a dry tortilla.

I know this is a super old video. But just to help people out. Use flux, it will make the solder stick and you can control it better even if it bridges pins. You can unbridge just as easy.

I am not worthy! Thank you very much for this video. The dealer first charged me $115 for the diagnostics, then estimated it would cost me $1200 to fix! (They would have replaced both components) I soldered a small copper wire across the gap and it worked! Hallelujah!

Thanks for posting the video, I used this to fix my truck tonight! Only thing I did different was to put a #22 wire in place of the trace on the board and then super glue it down to hold it in place. Plugged it in and worked like a champ.

Thank you sir for this informative video. Just completed the repair, had to splice a few strands of wire to bridge the gap, which I had made worse trying to use too large of an iron. Got it on the first try with a smaller iron.

I opened up the fuse box on my 1998 Dodge Ram and was surprised to find that there's no circuit board contained within. The lower section of the fuse box has no holes or openings in it and effectively prevents moisture from getting inside. They should have used a similar box on the Rams with the circuit boards.

Excellent video. Having a hard time soldering such a tiny circuit... Tried it once already but shorted out my radio... Trying again but it's right next to another line and that one must be my radio...

you can remove solder with a copper wire

I pulled mine apart thinking that this was the problem that I could fix it but my board is very clean. I have no running lights no brake lights and no license plate lights also no blinkers only in the rear my front blinkers and headlights work fine any idea what it could be?

Hello! I have a silly question for you: being that I do not at all trust myself doing this, is there any half assed alternative I can do? Like bridging a pin in the plug direct to the relay or just powering my parking lights off my headlights? Thanks

Know your video is 8yrs old and you probably don't watch for comments anymore but here's hoping. I was thankful for your instructional video but after I pulled my IPM from my 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 SLT Cummings 5.7l Diesel, I noticed my board was similar but the printouts looked different. I was really hoping you could help further in directing me of where I could SMS a wire to correct my front left low beam problem. In looking at the schematics on page 8W-50-7, the low beam functions via the FCM 4 via circuit 43 IPM etc. My IPM looked clean outside and inside. I saw minimal dirt/dust on the circuit board itself and it was near the FCM solder points but after cleaning with 91% alcohol, the board looked pristine. I didn't see any corrosion at all so I am really confused as to what the problem could be. However, I am unsure on how to test circuit 43 on the open board and/or how to repair. Do you think my actual problem is with the FCM, which I am unable to open to inspect? Also, my truck brake lights and I think the top lights running on top of cab come on periodically when truck is not being used. I really am trying to save some money here and fix the problem myself but I am a novice at best. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you!!

Look over the trace for burned or dark areas that look like they have been heated up. Also look at the ends of the connectors on the vehicle and the board.
