I have a 2003 dodge ram 1500 V8 4.7 with 38,000 miles on it. Keep getting intermittent "lamp out" warning. The bell will sound and display the "lamp out" message. It just started doing this today 7/30/2007. I checked all my lights and they are fine. Please help me, I dont know why this is happening.

either you have a grounding issue or a bulb is "about to go" meaning that the filiment is cracked, but when sitting still it is still making contact.
I would let it go for a few weeks with lamps on full time to get the troubled bulb to finally quit, or take it to a shop to have them further diagnose the problem.
