Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I experienced the same failure as many other 2002 dodge dakota owners in which the lights stop working or begin to flash without warning. in this instance, the parking lamps, instrument panel, and courtesy lamps flicker on and off. the headlights only seem to participate in the flashing part of the time. it appears likely the problem will be the central timer module, however due to cost i have not yet replaced it. i have determined the problem is neither the switch, relay, or lights. the symptoms are identical to those posting the central timer module defect. *nm
