Thank you for making this video, I trouble with those 2 tabs not going back in far enough to take the bottom cover off. Your video was very helpful

Thanks for sharing. I had a problem with my truck draining a brand new battery after 2 days. My mechanic checked my alternator but it read good. Could this and/or a faulty fuse cause this problem? Even without showing a fault on the trucks computer?

It is a possibility, I would do a parasitic draw test to just make sure it’s not in another circuit. I have just posted a quick video on how to do that on a ram truck if you want to go check it out on my channel

I change my starter relay fuse in that box 3 times and they kept going out every 2/3 week in my 2012 dodge ram could this be the problem?

I have a 2012 ram 1500. Lights flicker on the dashboard and engine will slowly stall. Only happens when the highbeams are on. Could the TIPM be the issue?

Saw your video. I have a 2019 Ram 3500. Many different warning lights going off on the dash. Do you think replacing the power distribution center/TIPM would fix this problem? Been to the dealer 5 times for the past 8 months. Dealer states since they can’t duplicate the warning light problem, which is intermittent, they can’t fix it.

That’s a tough one man, intermittent issues are the hardest to solve, I wanna say I doubt it needs the tipm. Sounds to me like you have a pin fitment issue in one of the connectors. Do you know what codes is was setting? I’m gonna guess lost communication with a hand full of modules
@LauraGonzalez-ml8qq 5 ай бұрын
Many miscommunications; for example, while I am driving these warning lights come on-parking brake light, cruise control, fuel gauge needle going wacko, suspension system needs service, traction control, etc. Also, I can’t get the truck to get smogged. Last light left on was the oxygen sensor light. So far the operation of the truck has not been affected.

Most likely a wiring issue somewhere

Another good vid...had the no start issue....local CT did the by-passed around the relay with switch...ok..good till the other day where the truck stalled in a no stopping zone...cycled the switch a couple times and it started right up... unfortunately a cop gave me a 110$ fine... didn't believe me lol...where do you send them for repairs? I understand they are 900$ if you can find one.
@Tech-28 3 ай бұрын
I am in Canada, there is a 3rd party company through carquest I sometimes send them too but for the most part there’s a local guy that’s an electronics wizard that fixes them, you can also shop them out to be repaired through online sources and rent one while yours is being repaired or you could try and hunt down a used one at a junk yard or through car-part.com
