I have a 2008 Dodge Charger and My wipers and turn signal stopped working. I checked the 30 amp fuse in the #10 slot in the front fuse box but it didn't appear to be blown. I had my flashees on and left my headlights on for about 6 hours and needed a jump when I got back to the vehicle.

On the exterior lights wiring diagram note the Totally Integrated Power Module. It has a white and a White and Orange wire, I believe #7 and #8. Those appear to be the wiper control lines that go to another control module after power distribution. Look at the wiper diagram and confirm this. You need to look for the fuse for the totally integrated module. Inside of the fuse cover is a diagram and description of fuses and the same is true of the under hood fuse/relay box. So, track down that fuse and check it. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.

My right turn signal on my 2008 dodge charger works in the front but not in the back. The turn signal in the car flashes on and off a lot faster then my left turn signal.

When the bulb burns out the signal flashes faster than normal easy way to tell when you have a bulb out. Change the bulb and before you but it back together check it if it still doesn't work wiggle the bulb and if it works then you have to clean the plug

You need to see if it's getting power or not. If it's not you'll have to find out why. It could also be a flasher gone bad.

My rear signal lights do not work, I replace the bulb, check the fuse, and still nothing. My signal lights in front are working, but clicking fast. I do not know what might be the issue. Any suggestions?

If the bulbs are new then we need to track these circuits to find where we have power.

Here is a guide that talks about this:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/turn-signals-blink-rapidly

I suspect we find that we have no power coming out of the front control module which means the control module is the issue. So let's run through this and see if we have power coming out of the control module and that will tell us what we need.

Let me know if you have questions. Thanks

I have a 2007 Dodge Charger. My turn signals are not working but the emergency lights work. Also the wipers and power side mirrors are not working. In fact, the whole switch doesn't operate. I don't know if its a fuse, loose wiring, or the whole switch needs to be replace.

Hello,

There is a fuse #8 in the TIPM that needs to be checked for power. Here is a guide to help us get started with the blinker wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. Also there are fuse locations as well.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is. Cheers,

Ok, so I did that. Some of the fuse works and some didn't. But the one that didn't work wasn't blown, I replaced them with new fuses and the test lighter still didn't lit up. So I did more testing and found the TIPM went out cost me $220.00 for a new one. Once I installed the new one it programmed itself which was cool. Thanks for the diagrams they helped a bunch I love this site.
