1999 Dodge B350 problems
The Dodge Ram Van (also known as the Dodge B-series) is a range of full-size vans that were produced by Chrysler Corporation from the 1971 to 2003 model years. Replacing the Dodge A100, the Ram Van transitioned to a front-engine drivetrain configuration. Mostly offered as a cargo van and a passenger van, the model line was also initially offered as a cutaway van chassis.
The B-series van line was produced across 32 years of production, making it among the longest-lived platform designs in American automotive history. Much of the exterior and chassis underpinnings saw only gradual changes during their entire production, with three distinct generations developed. Alongside its use by Dodge, the full-size van range saw rebranding during the 1970s for both Fargo Trucks and Plymouth (marking the debut of the Plymouth Voyager nameplate).
For much of its entire production run, Chrysler produced B-platform vans at the now-demolished Pillette Road Truck Assembly plant in Windsor, Ontario, Canada; prior to 1980, the model line was also produced at Saint Louis North Assembly (Fenton, Missouri). In 2003, the Dodge Sprinter (a rebranding of its Mercedes-Benz namesake) was introduced, replacing the B-series van entirely from 2004 to 2009. Since 2014, the Ram division has offered the ProMaster to the full-size van market, a rebranded Fiat Ducato.

Common 1999 Dodge B350 problems
Based on the complaints from owners of the Dodge B350 1999, several common problems have been reported:
- Headlight Switch: Another common problem reported by owners was related to the headlight switch causing a parasitic battery drain. Owners found that turning the headlight switch all the way to the right, where it clicks, helped resolve this issue. This problem was linked to the interior light and was identified as a source of the battery drain.
- ABS Light and Cruise Control Issues: The ABS light staying on and the cruise control being inoperative were also highlighted as common problems. While some owners suspected a potential link between these issues and the braking system, others suggested that the cruise control problem might be related to a vacuum issue. The ABS light issue was attributed to a faulty driver-side front wheel sensor.
- Ignition Key Light Relay: The ignition key light relay was identified as a source of parasitic battery drain in the Dodge B350 1999. Replacing this relay did not completely resolve the issue for some owners, leading them to remove the relay to stop the drain. This problem was considered common among Dodge B350 owners and was addressed by bypassing the relay to prevent the battery drain.
These common problems reported by owners of the Dodge B350 1999 highlight various electrical and system-related issues that have affected the functionality of this vehicle.
