For the brake lights check that no fuses are missing. Then check them all you should get a fuse tester. Go to the junk jard and get the cover if anything. For the headlights its common for moisture to get in the headlight bulb connector or harness and get corroded. Take the bulbs out and clean the connections with a wire brush or how ever you choose then put as much bulb grease as you want on the connection. This should take care it. Clean the inside of the harness too.

2006 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 4x4. What fuse runs the 4x4 please?

It isn't specified. There is more than one fuse that covers transmission. You would need an auto electrician or a transmission expert to connect a pro grade scan tool computer and diagnose if the switch or solenoid is faulty. A scan tool at this level is bi-directional and can command solenoids to operate and confirm that they do.

Hi Saddleback,

The brake lights on the trailer has been fitted with new tecknology. As soon as you apply the brakes the trailer brake lights will flash. This is let the cars behind you know that you will stop and they must keep their distance.

Check the headlight switch. The power goes from the fuse to the headlight switch and then to the dash and running lights.

1996 Dodge 3500 I Have No Turn Signals Or Hazard Lights If I Press The Brakes & Try The Signal It Comes On the Opposite Side But Want Blink

Check the 20 amp fuse if it's blown. This fuse is located in the power distribution box on the left hand side by the firewall. If the fuse is okay more than likely your multifunction switch needs to be replaced.

Serious understeer with 96 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually

Are the tie rod ends tight? Is the trac bar (frame end) tight? The steering boxes on these trucks require more input that a 1/2 ton truck or a car. How is the alignment? The caster on these should be set to about 5 degrees, the original specs allow a lot of wandering.

96 Dodge Ram 1500 wiring diagram for headlights.

Here's a link to a pdf file containing the headlight wiring diagram for your year model Dodge Ram 1500..
I can't help but notice that you say you've replaced the headlight relay? That's quite odd, because there is NO headlight relay on this vehicle- only a 40 amp fuse located in the power distribution box that sits behind the battery inside the engine bay.
The switch is notorious for burning out because there is NO RELAY on this vehicle, and there is a recall (#819) but this only affects 3500 models even though the headlight wiring is the same for 1500,2500 and 3500 model Rams.
Here are two more links that will help you troubleshoot your headlights problems.
