What Happened

The Trailer Tow Light Control Module in your vehicle is a computer that helps control your trailer lights. But on some RAM ProMaster and ProMaster City models, this module might have a software glitch that can stop your trailer brake lights from working properly.

Risk if Unfixed

If your trailer brake lights don't work, it could cause a crash when you're towing a trailer, especially if the driver behind you doesn't know you're slowing down.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your dealer will replace the faulty Trailer Tow Light Control Module with a new one at no cost to you. This will fix the software issue and ensure your trailer brake lights work as they should.
