Anybody know what this is under the dash
2 Attachment(s)
Hello I have a part under the dash that stays warm to hot all the time even when I haven't started or driven the truck does anybody know what it is or what it does? It is about 1 1/2 inches long maybe 3/4 inch diameter aluminum
cylinder in the picture. A little left of the steering column. Kinda worried about a fire it gets so hot sometimes |
Not 100% but I think it's the flasher for your turn signals, pull it out and see if your signals still blink. I don't know why it would be hot . :c:
|
I think the flasher for turn signals is on the fuse block itself. I was told that little cylinder is a bi-metallic strip that times interior stuff like the light around the ignition key on newer style steering columns.

Timer for interior lights the light for around the ignition cylinder

I think u will find its only hot if the door has been opend or u switched on the dome light
|
I have the EXACT same promblem and when i unplugged mine my flashers quit workin and i hadnt had my door open long or anything and its always hot too
|
mine gets extremely hot also dont know why but it does
|
tally another. the flasher relay is on the fuse block. i burnt my hand on the cylinder when installing my tach!:td:
|
That cylinder is designed to get hot. It's the timer for the halo light around your ignition switch it's working properly if it gets hot.
|
Good to know that it is normal, not that excited about the design though. I believe Dodge could of done something different. I will not worry myself with the heat since everyone here says they are supposed to get hot. Thanks for all of the replies.
