Dorman Tail Light Circuit Board for Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 (2002–2006) — Direct Replacement, Plug-and-Play

This Dorman 923-030 tail light circuit board is a direct replacement for the failed, melted circuit board in select Dodge Ram tail lights, restoring lamp function quickly and without rewiring.

When a tail light goes dark because the printed circuit board inside the assembly has burned or melted, the rest of the lamp hardware can still be fine — you just need a compatible replacement circuit board. The Dorman 923-030 replaces the factory circuit board used on specific Dodge Ram model years so brake lights, turn signals, and tail lamps that stopped working due to a faulty board can be restored with a plug-and-play part. Before buying, confirm your truck’s trim and fitment using the vehicle garage tool on the product page.

Which Dodge Ram model years does this part work with?

This circuit board is compatible with early-2000s Dodge Ram pickups. It fits the Ram 1500 from 2002 through 2006 and Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks from 2003 through 2006. Always verify your truck’s exact trim and lamp configuration in the fitment tool before ordering.

• Dodge Ram 1500: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006
• Dodge Ram 2500: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006
• Dodge Ram 3500: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006
• Confirm fit using the garage tool and Confirmed Fit bar on the product page

How difficult is installation and what tools are needed?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable removing the tail lamp assembly. The Dorman board is designed to plug into the existing lamp harness after you remove the failed board, typically requiring only basic hand tools and no soldering.

• Remove tail lamp housing with common sockets or screwdrivers
• Unplug the factory circuit board and install the Dorman replacement
• No special wiring or modifications required for correct fitment
• Keep basic hand tools on hand (sockets, trim tools, gloves)

What problems does replacing the circuit board solve?

Replacing a burnt or melted circuit board restores the electrical pathways inside the tail light assembly so bulbs and LEDs once again receive power. This addresses intermittent lights, non-functioning brake or turn signals, and wiring damage localized to the lamp board without replacing the entire tail light.

• Resolves dead or flickering brake, tail, and turn lights
• Avoids the cost of a full tail light assembly replacement
• Returns factory-style operation when matched to correct model year
• Replaces the failure-prone OEM board with a ready-to-install unit

How can I confirm this part is right for my truck?

Use the vehicle selection tool on the product page and check the Confirmed Fit indicator. If a blue information icon appears, hover to read additional fitment notes and ensure your trim, lamp type, and options match the listed compatibility.

• Enter year, make, model and trim in the garage tool
• Read any fitment notes shown with the blue “i” icon
• Contact support with your VIN for exact verification if unsure
