Hey TDR Gurus, Sorry I haven't been active in the forum for a while. I've been busy working on my kids' cars and the tractor, but I got home from work on Monday and my truck wouldn't turn off. I first assumed it was the turbo timer, but unplugging the Edge tuner (stock tune) didn’t do anything...

Hey guys, I'm hoping that you all can give me some pointers on where to start looking. I have an electrical issue that has gotten worse. The lamp out light comes on and off. The headlights come on by themselves when the truck is running. Today, I took the truck for an alignment and it was...

I have a 1999 Dodge 2nd generation.5.9 diesel. Got back after a trip, 2 days later the batteries were dead. Replaced batteries, alternator, and no success. When you turn the truck on and turn off all factory gauges stay energized. And when you (jiggle) turn key on and off they go to zero. I...

I'm pretty bad at diagnosing. I thought I had a bad alternator, and I replaced it to find it still won't charge, and my gauge on dash (that and fuel gauge are about only working gauges) shows it too. I don't know where to start. Circuits that control my AC blower, some gauges, power windows...

I just bought a non-intercooled 1991 first gen. It has 231,000 miles in excellent condition. Getrag 360 with 4x4. I'm loving the truck but have noticed quite a few issues with my instrument cluster. All of this has taken place in the last week: 1. oil sensor stopped working, or gave a very...

Hello Everyone, I have a 2nd Gen 2001 Ram 2500 5.9L 6-speed and I have some electrical gremlins I need help with. For starters, my headlights are very dim and my headlight switch dimmer when I turn up the dash lights my dome lights come on and stay on until I turn it way down almost off and...

the dome and map lights wont shut off. They are on the dimmer setting like as you start the truck for 5 seconds they dim then shut off but just stay on. when I push the door plungers or close the doors the lights go from bright to about half dim. also, I didn’t leave the headlight switch on. now...

This past weekend I disconnected both batteries, cleaned the terminals, re-connected everything then started the truck and drove fine. Yesterday I went to start the truck and it turns over but does not start. The WTS light starts flashing the moment it would normally turn off and the wire...

Transfer case attempting to engage 4 low after key is turned off??? 2006 3500 5.9 You can hear it attempting to engage. any insight? I'm an old guy not used to these boards, so excuse me if this has been discussed before. I couldn't find anything with my searches. Please, I need help. Thanks kevin

I'll keep this as brief as possible. I've been chasing electrical issues for a long time now, mostly for auto transmission shifting (very modified trans). I've replaced all the trans electronics multiple times and also the TPS. Sometimes it's fine but I still often have 2nd and 3rd gear starts...

'95 Dodge std cab, w/ #6 cam plate / exhaust brake / heavy ex springs / 3000 rpm gsk. 5 spd trans. 2 wheel drive. Having an interesting electrical prob. First, it's intermittent, which doesn't help. The Tach 'dies' and when it does, the "Check engine" light comes on..AND the "Wait to start"...

I'm having electrical problems. Pickup will not crank when key is turned. Batteries, alternator, and starter are all good. The weird thing is when I wiggle the exciter wire on the starter the pickup will start whether the key is on or off and even when the clutch is not pushed in. Also the wires...

My work truck is a 2004 3500 CTD with the trailer towing package. It has an odd problem that I've narrowed down to the truck itself, and not a sneak circuit in the trailer's wiring. The trailer, as well as the drop-on cap, both have LED stop-turn-tail lights. Both the drop on cap and the trailer...

Have a 2001 24v 150,000 , was driving down the road the other day and quit charging. I got home pulled the alt off took and had it tested, checked out good (alt only a year old), load tested batteries and checked out good (batts new 12/1/11), so i put a ext voltage reg on, it fixed the charging...

Hi all, My '98 12-valve has acted a bit funny lately and today completely died: I don't drive it that often as I walk to work. I drive it at least 1x per week. For the last 5+ weeks when I try to start her up, the cranking has been getting weaker and weaker. I've even had the engine block...

Hey guys, was doing some digging for my 2007 to add on some electrical accessories without damaging the TIPM. While doing that, ran in to a wiring harness for 2003-05 5. 9 Cummins standard trans. Here's the link: Painless Performance: PDF Catalog Flip Book it is on page 19. There also looks like...

Usually at about highway speeds my door adjar light along with my interior lights will blink and flicker every few minutes or even back to back. All doors are closed tight and locked. Any ideas? #@$%!

I am getting some weird electrical problems with my truck lately. The oddest of the bunch is occasionally I will come back to the truck and the Air conditioning blower is running when I get into the cab. Seems to do this more on really hot days (it was 104 today in San Antonio). No key in...

So I have just about bitten off a little more than i can chew. I took my 94 in to the dealership to have the throttle linkage recall done and while it was there they did a couple of other recalls including the ignition switch. while they were in there they called me to let me know that there...
