2003 1500 Dodge Truck engine light indicator and lamp out light

If your talking about check engine indicator, see the other indicator lamps under the check engine? They all should use the same voltage, same fuse. If the other indicator lamps work, the problem isn't a fuse. Just my opinion.
I don't know if that bulb is replaceable? Maybe a faulty instrument cluster?

could be what you say
run the fault codes to get a better idea

computer in your Dodge truck generates and stores error codes related to critical vehicle component systems. When your Dodge truck generates one of these codes, a Check Engine Light will illuminate on the dash. This light can indicate a variety of problems. Ironically, only several codes pertain to the actual engine in your truck. Many of the codes can indicate a problem with the transmission, emissions control system and even the fuel system. To erase the code and get the light to go off, you will need to reset the computer. This will involve cutting the power to the computer. Instructions

1 Open the hood and loosen the retaining nut connected to the battery cable clamp that is attached to the negative battery terminal. 2 Slide the negative battery cable clamp off the battery terminal. 3 wait five seconds then slide the battery cable clamp back over the negative battery terminal. The Dodge's computer will now be reset. 4 Tighten the retaining nut on the cable clamp to secure the clamp to the battery. On some Dodge trucks, you will need to drive an additional 500 miles from the time you cut power to the computer for the Dodge's computer to fully reset.

Go to online store reliable they have repair manuals I am sure you will get the solution. Here's the link 2004 Dodge Ram 1500

intermittent lean condition may be caused by leaking intake manifold gaskets. Get some carb cleaner and start the truck. Open the hood and spray carb cleaner on the intake manifold gaskets. If the engine reacts at all, you have a gasket leak. If you have questions, please let me know.

Hi
Turn on your lights,turn your turn signals on to either side and walk around the truck looking for a light burned out.Parking lights,turn signal,anything.If you don't find anything put your turn signal to the other side and walk around again.But most likely it's a parking or "running" light. The bulb out warning checks several different systems.Don't forget to have someone help you with back-up lights too.If it's time for 1 to go,there may be another.And have them step on the brakes and check those too.
Back-up and brake lights are 2 that you should never get a ticket for.
Seriously,how could you know?
You'll find it

This indicator lamp is for the Electronic Throttle Control. If it is on while the engine is running, the vehicle should still be drivable, but requires a service check. If it is flashing while the engine is running, the engine will run poorly or not at all.

It is normal for this lamp to come on for a few seconds when you first start the engine, this serves as a test to be sure the lamp is working.

cover or underside of cover should have details/map. Also check under hood for relay/fuse box too.

The first thing I would do is check the Transmission Control Module (TCM) for stored codes. To call up codes, cycle ignition switch on, off, on, off and on within 5 seconds. Stored codes will be indicated by flashes of the check engine lamp. The codes will be indicated as two digit numbers, with a four second pause between codes. An example of a code scan is as follows:

• Power Loss/Check Engine Lamp illuminated for approximately 2 to 3 seconds as a bulb check, then turns off.
• Lamp flashes 2 times, pauses, then flashes 6 times.
• Lamp pauses for approximately 4 seconds.
• Lamp flashes 3 times, pauses, then flashes 1 time.

This would indicate that code 26 and 31 are stored. The lamp will continue to flash until all stored codes have been displayed.
If we are lucky we'll get some codes to work with. This will show you any transmission codes.

I found that a code 31 on a 94 Voyager indicates an evaporative emissions problem, but I'm not sure whether that code applies to your car as well. Have the ECU scanned at AutoZone and see what comes up. They'll do it for free and will give you the codes. Then you can post them up and we'll see what we can do about them.

Hello, I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 6 cylinder ( Ram Pick -up 1500) The indicator lights are coming on. One says LAMP OUT, and the other is a picture of the engine. I have no idea. Doesn't seem like anything is wrong with the engine and I didn't find any lights that where out. I need help.
