I have a 2005 magnum r/t and the head lights flicker on and off constantly.
i notice that they get worst when its cold. I had my hubby check all the grounds and they seem to be fine. He said there is nothing wrong with the fuses. The dealer told me that the battery might need to be replaced, i did this and nothing. My car has been doing this for a month now, the computer was replaced last week cause it went out so there is no need to reset the computer. Could it be the bcm and if so then where is that located? Have any of you experinced his and how was it fixed? it might be a electrical issue...
thanks

Now the are telling me that its the cluster panel ( weeks ago) The estimate is $800 to fix it but its not guaranteed that will correct the issue. I love this car but im really thinking of trading it in, its in really great condition but the trade in value is nothing hardly so i willbe way too upside down. Im so confused and stuck with this car. Now it has a whole new problem, when at a drive thru or just sitting in park my car overheats, and has been doing this for about 2 weeks now....Let me know if you ever figure out what it is if its not the cluster panel...

Late but just in case I hope this answer helps.

I had the same problem with my '05 Mag R/T. Went to the dealer and it turned out to simply be the headlight switch went bad. They wanted to replace it but had to order the part.

So I had a dealer find a dealer with the part in stock in Detroit. They sent it overnight and I did the install myself. Saved about 50-100 bucks in total.

Again, check the headlight switch in the dash, that's probably your problem...

Hey guys is the same as headlites flickering and instrument panel flicker? Both of mine are doing this (at the same time)...it is an 05 with the original battery. Do you know where I can read the TSB???
