Thankfully I have not had wiring issues before with this truck other than the factory air suspension system. This was just my methodology for working through the least expensive solutions to the most expensive... while trying not to drop the fuel tank unless absolutely necessary!

Ok - following up after finding the issue and correcting. After confirming power at the TIPM and all associated fuses had power, I figured it had to be the tank fuel pump. Tried the old "bang on the tank" trick, still nothing. The truck was now throwing a code; "P008A - Low Pressure Fuel...

I was curious about that - some reading that I have been doing indicates that the fuel pump relay is integral to the TIPM? Is that correct? If so, thats a pretty bad design. I saw some folks talking about a small jumper from the 12V cigarette lighter fuse on the TIPM to jump the fuel pump...

I went through and checked the fuses, all look good. My next approach is to check the fuses for power with a multimeter. I’m interested to see if the fuel pump is even being delivered power from the TIPM.

I don’t hear it, I even checked my dads truck (‘12 Ram 2500 w/ the 6.7L) and clearly heard the fuel pump… I am wondering if I m looking at a sudden TIPM issue being that the license plate and passenger rear tail lamp assembly all went out at the same time?

Update - replaced both the fuel filter and water separator. Primed the system by cycling the ignition to run 6 times and waiting 10-15 seconds per cycle for the pump to pressurize the system. Still no start. Opened the front fuel filter drain, heard a brief “puff” of air but no fuel came out...

Hi all, I have a head scratcher here... After driving my truck last weekend, I noticed the "Water in Fuel" light come on - no other lights or performance related issues with the truck. Park the truck in the driveway, knowing I would drain out the front and rear filters the following weekend...

You know what - I think you are onto something there! Love the idea. Went out this evening and picked up some 3/4" #6 brass screws from the hardware store. Thought process is to take them to the bench grinder and put a tip on the end and remove the head, then drive the new "post" through the...

PROBLEM SOLVED. I decided to take another look at the compressor assembly while going through the diagnostic testing. As mentioned before, the system seemed to be fully functioning up until the air pressure sensor called for the compressor to engage. Unbolted the assembly once again...

In the process now of troubleshooting each of those items. Really hoping the issue is not internal to the pump itself and rather a wiring condition as long as it is easy to find (yeah right.) Do you happen to know which TSB that is? Worst case scenario, if the pump components are shot - at...

It does seem that I am getting closer to that option, which really sucks. The only codes that are now showing are: C1556-96 Ride Height Air Pressure Sensor - Component Internal Failure C15A1-00 Unable to Obtain Desired Ride Height A friend of mine allowed me access to his AllData, where I was...

I checked the PN's and they are different which makes sense on how they are mounted to the frame. Since I cleared the codes after seeing the sensor code the first time, it has not come back. Pulled the compressor down off the frame today, took apart all the connectors, cleaned them and put...

I pulled this connector out, cleaned it, and plugged it back in but will check the wiring backwards. Interesting that the code for the Ride Height Sensor did not come back on once cleared. It would make sense if these sensors are potentiometers to modulate the voltage giving the computer the...

I have always purchased a FSM with all previous vehicles, and have a Haynes book for this truck - but cannot find a printed version of the FSM anywhere. Do you happen to know where I can find one?

Alright, here is an update. Went to my Interstate distributor and had the batteries load tested, both batteries failed to maintain voltage when the load was applied, so a few hundred bucks later - I have two new batteries. Seemingly, poor performing batteries were not linked to my issue...
