Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a 98 dodge ram 2500? or know where I could get one. I have no rear brake lights only the cab one works, I was recently rear ended and the bumper was replaced. I have a remote starter, Circuit city claims that is working correctly. There is power into the brake switch and coming out of the switch but it loses power in the rear. I also have a trailer hitch. Any suggestions?
probably they have unplugged the converter for the trailer wiring and I would check that first.
follow your trailer wiring back to the t connector under the rear near the bumper area.
remove the t connector and join the plug back up and see if there is lights now.
if there is change the t connector.

Notes:
*1 Keyless models use positive trigger for lock, and 5-wire for unlock. Can also find wires at the central timer module to the right side of the steering column, lock is ORANGE / green, unlock is pink/green. *2 To avoid dome delay, use tan for the drivers door and BLACK/ lt. blue for the passenger door. Both wires are located at the central timer module to the right side of the steering column. Use both wires and diode isolate each. *3 Must see a ground on the tan drivers door trigger wire while locking to arm the factory alarm. This only works if the vehicle does not have delayed domelight. *4 Diesel tach wire is gray/black and diesel wait to start wire is ORANGE / black (-) 'see direct fax document #1090'. Both wires are located on the center of the firewall. There are two black plugs, the wires are in the top plug without the white insert. The tach wire can also be found at the ECM on the passenger side firewall in connector C-1, pin 8.
