HI!
2006 RT...160,000 mi...love this truck!
Recently began blowing turn signal /hazard fuses.... replaced relay, lasted less than a week...
assuming a short in the wiring...
How does one go about finding the location of the short?
yes, I'm looking for short cuts!
Thanks for any help!

Do you have an aftermarket trailer wire harness?

 

[DavetheRave]

don't think so....it has a flat 4 harness that I think is stock....I haven't used it recently....

The factory system will have both the 7-pin round connector and the 4-pin connector for your 2006, so you have aftermarket.

Aftermarket lighting modules have been the cause of many lighting-related problems people have posted here. I would remove it.

Glad I could help, but credit goes to many other forum members that have discovered the same thing.

For towing on the Ridgeline, OEM is best.
