idk why i decided to watch this video. been a mechanic 38 years kid and ive never seen anyone explain an actual walk through as precise step by step as you. WOW keep up the good work, and wrench on Brother!!!!

I have a 2015 ram with headlight out is why I watched. Now I know what I'll be encountering & hopefully not break any clips! Great DIY video! Thank you

Awesome video, almost took it to the dealership. After watching this video I repaired it for less than 50 dollars. I like how he took his time and explained everything.

I'm a professional technician and this video is 100% spot on, to the point and easy to follow. The only way this video could have been more helpful is if you came and did the repair for the member. Thank You !

I sure hope you know what a valuable service you are doing for so many folks with your excellent videos. Your ability to explain in a manner old guys like myself can follow and later execute is truly a gift. I have turned to your videos 2 times today alone with perfect results. Thank you doesn't seem sufficient but thank you.

You saved me from getting gypped by the dealership. They wanted to charge $600 for the harness part and labor. After all, the only the wrong was a loss harness that needed to be secured. Thanks for this video! I've subscribed.

@MotorCityMechanic 8 лет назад

Thanks for subscribing. I hope that's your only issue. The common issue is that connector for the assembly. If you have further issues that I would start there

@jshlds46 Год назад

Thank you so much for showing what all to look for. Thankfully, my issue was simply the wiring harness was not fully connected. A little CRC electronic cleaner and dielectric grease to ensure a continued clean connection, and I'm back to 2 working headlights! Please keep up your great ram truck troubleshooting videos!

Awesome! Glad it was a simple fix and thank you very much for donation to the channel!

@markgevin17 2 года назад

Big Help...THANX. Pretty much exactly as you said...except for 3 minor issues. My truck is a 2015 RAM 2500 Laramie, 6.4L engine. 1. One screw on each side of housing cover was rusted(design flaw?)...couldn't remove...had to cut a slot with oscillating tool to remove screw with screwdriver...not too bad unless you don't have that tool. 2. Harness is a hassle to remove...need to pry gently to remove. 3. Bought wrong bulb...H11 didn't fit...Sylvania 9012 was perfect match...suggest removing bad bulb and lining up with new. Replaced both sides...$35 total. Dealer said $145 minimum labor, plus bulb cost. Figure I saved at least $210. Dealer was 1 week out for service. Maybe 3 hours total...DIY. Very Helpful. Thanx. Mark. Above average handyman?!!!

@MotorCityMechanic 2 года назад

Nothing like saving some money! Plus you learned something about your truck while doing the repair. Thanks for the comment and for watching the video

@ccrider77 4 года назад

Great detailed video. I fixed mine last night. Only took about 30 minutes. Connector wasn't burned, but the pins fit a little loose in the sockets. I gave the pins a little twist with some needle-nosed pliers and used some dielectric grease. It works great now.

@MotorCityMechanic 5 лет назад

Your welcome Dave. I did another follow up video on cutting out that connector and bypassing it so make sure to check that one out as well....that connector is the most common cause for lighting issues on that truck.

@kcstrom7676 4 года назад

Thank you for this video and information! It gave me the confidence to go ahead and take my headlight that had both beams not working out and look at the connectors/etc. It was easier than I anticipated it being. Unfortunately, there was no obvious problem, the connectors all looked great, but it's working again after I put a liberal amount of dielectric grease to the connectors and put it back together (hope it stays that way).

@MotorCityMechanic 4 года назад

Chances are that the connector is the issue....we have alot of connection issues with those and the fix thats the cheapest in my opinion and best is to cut the connector out of the circuit and solder the related wires together and use some heat shrink with sealant in it.

You don’t need to take the grill off to remove the headlights. Just a long socket extension. There’s an access hole for that lower screw.

The bottom 10 mm bolt can be removed with an extension instead of removing the grill.

I was also going to mention that. It's pretty easy to remove the headlights without removing the grille on newer Ram trucks.

Thanks a million-best video I've looked at for detail, clarity and explanations. I have a 2009 Dodge Ram that every 9-12 months my passenger headlight stops working and I have to access the headlamp assembly, jiggle the wires and voila, they work again. I have taped the heck out of them now at the connectors so maybe this will work for longer. Looks like the only difference in my '09 is that the headlamp assembly has 2, rather than 3 "arms".

MotorCity Mechanic - I have a couple electrical issues with my 2011 Ram 2500. Like to talk to you about it. You seem to know more than some of the mechanics around here!

@TexasFire_Cross 7 лет назад

Sub'd. I have to admit, when you talked about issues other than "bulb out", I thought you were just rattling off the usual mechanic schtick to run up the bill ... but you were spot-on (in my case). I watched your video after realizing I'd be better off replacing my own bulb than taking it somewhere. I bought a bulb for my 2012 Ram 1500, assuming my bulb was burnt-out. Before I opened the packaging, I juggled the connection and the light came on; the connection had come loose. You know your stuff and I humbly submit my apology. Sub'd.

@MotorCityMechanic 7 лет назад

No need for the apology. Its a fairly common issue as you just witnessed. I cant tell you how many people replaced the bulb before coming to the shop. We have a few vehicles with connector issues, not all at the headlight....some at the connectors under the seat. None the less.....the method of repair is the same....cut the connector out of the circuit and solder the wires back together. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and also to tell me how it went. Thanks for subscribing as well. Dont forget to check my other videos out....they may help you in the future as well.

@leodeistler2549 8 лет назад

Fault at the quick disconnect to the wire harness to the light.

@MotorCityMechanic 8 лет назад

Leo Deistler Good job finding it. Thanks for the update. When the issue is at the connector going to the headlamp assembly and not the bulb. I cut the connector out of the circuit and solder the wires back together so no more issues. If you ever have to replace the headlamp assembly then you will have to cut the wires but the odds are very low of ever replacing so this way it cost you no money at all and the light is back to working again.

@@JanetAlexanderJewelry Awesome. If it happens again then remove it and drill a small hole on the lower side out of sight.

MotorCity Mechanic I used Sylvania Silverstar H11 and 9005 bulbs with the factory 2-bulb housing in my Big Horn. They're approx. 4000k temperature bulbs, so they appear whiter than stock and im my previous experiences illuminate the road for a greater distance from a slight boost in brightness.

I have a 2014 3500 that the headlight just went out last night. Looks simple enough when you break it down like that. I get condensation a lot in both headlight assemblies. Had a guy take a tiny drill and drill a hole in lowest part of headlight to drain water. Got this truck last January, had 65K miles on it. Now has 172K miles on it. I run him hard and want to take good care of him.

@tonyacrawford8656 2 года назад

@@MotorCityMechanic Hey. Yeah, it was actually the bulb. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Got that done. Have had to replace a couple bulbs now. So now I have a new issue. On the driver side (luckily I don't have to replace it right now [knock on wood] or I'd be in a big mess), the top 10mm bolt you have to unscrew to take the housing out-spins... The square nut surrounded by plastic is spinning in place. Either I cross-threaded it the last time I changed out the light (I don't think so, but I'm not perfect), or the last place did it. Anyway, how do I get it out? I tried using a pair of small needle nose pliers, but it cracked one side of the little holdy places [that obviously doesn't hold it now], and still spins. I was suggested to use some J-B Water Weld to try to make new side pieces and of course to replace the bolt as well. Do you have a better idea? Do you know what/where I'm talking about?

regardless of what some think of THEIR dodge truck, this video on how to troubleshoot a headlight is precise, informative and to the point without a lot of fluff and stalling...... unlike MOST videos here on youtube. one thing I would add to the video is to use some dielectric grease on the contacts as this helps keep contact between the pins, and helps dissipate any heat that is produced from a connection that may be less than solid..... important, DO NOT get any grease or fingerprints on the glass part of the bulb

Thanks for the support.....your correct that the videos are to inform people and give advice and show repairs. I get people get upset about problems and then want to go on and on about it......the video isnt about that. There is an issue....this is how you can fix it and then move on to driving the truck and enjoying it. I have learned there is no such thing as a perfect car brand. They all have issues and they all use the same suppliers for their parts. The dielectric grease is a great tip that I should have included as well....thanks for pointing that out! Thanks again Greg for watching and make sure to subscribe!

Love the video, helped me a lot today, but would like to know how to bypass the wire connector harness to run directly, I went to dealer and I would have to buy all new headlight assembly $320 just to have a the wire parts that go to the light bulbs

Holy Crap Batman!!! You mean that when the day comes that I need to replace a bulb on my 2014 RAM 1500 I'm going to either have disassemble the front end myself or take the truck to a dealer or trustworthy garage to get it done?

@MotorCityMechanic 6 лет назад

Some people take the grill off and others not....but none the less it takes about 5 minutes to get the headlamp off to get to the bulb.....anyone can do it and its simple enough, not as simple as reaching behind to get to the bulb but that would be just to easy.

Thank you a thousand times. Saved me from buying high and low beam bulbs. Followed your instructions and it turned out to be the main PIN connector. separated it and reconnected several times to clean pins. WORKS GREAT Thanks again. J Ward Wakefield, Mass

@MotorCityMechanic 7 лет назад

Great! Glad that its working now. There is always the chance that it may happen again. If it does then you will need to bypass that connector. I did a follow up video showing the actual repair I just mentioned. Here is the link incase you need it in the future: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v_rzPdT-UD4.html .

I had this happen but for me its all my light except for my turn signals and one high beam still dont know why tho

The grill doesnt have to come off to access the headlight bolts. A 10 mm wrench for the top bolt, and a long extension/ socket for the bottom bolt. I just replaced both of my headlight bulbs, 5 days apart, within the last week. Although, removing the grill might make it easier to pry and remove the headlight assembly. I did in fact have some difficulty removing it and replacing it with the grill and place.

Love your videos man. Need a 1 piece bumper cover w/o sensors, driver side fender and driver side headlight assembly for 2014 Ram 1500 st. Any ideas where I can get them so I don't have to break the bank to get them? I would really appreciate any suggestions.
