Why is my 80 series headlight not working?

This can be overcome by installing thicker cables. The factory wiring in an 80 series is quite small, and the voltage flow drops considerably by the time it gets to the lights. Ideally, when you measure the voltage at the headlight, it should be close to that of your battery voltage.

Why is my 4 wheel drive light not engaging?

If you don’t shift it into neutral, the 4wd light will continue to flash and won’t get into gear. Seems to be a common occurrence on these trucks. Dodge dealers recommend engaging 4-lo, then back in 2-wheel drive, then back in 4-wheel drive hi (4H). This sequence apparently resolves the problem.

Why are the 4hi and 4LO lights flashing?

So this week it started up again and I drove the truck direct to the dealer and left the engine running so they could get the diagnostics on for an error code. When the 4HI and 4LO lights were flashing the 4WD system will not work. After spending a couple of hours on it the dealer figured it was a faulty actuator in the front differential.
