Happy New Year everyone! Just one comment on this video as I was not clear on this until the end. The Cruise Control Switch portion of the Right Steering Wheel Switch was hard wired and was NOT part of the LIN. This is why nothing else worked except the cruise control switches. ALSO the right steering wheel switch is a module!! And it had a broken ground, so this module was essentially dead. So again, why is a dead module communicating the cruise control switch inputs messages? It WASN"T, the cruise switches are hard wired! I meant to give an overview of that at the end of this video to make it more clear, but this message is good enough. Thanks again for a great 2022. Looking forward to what 2023 has for SD!

I was having the same issue. I pulled my air bag out and found the exact same yellow wire had broken just like yours. I soldered it together and it all seems great. Thanks for the info

I’ll bet the dealer tech caused this while performing the recall! Great video as always Paul! Happy New Year

This is one of the first videos I have watched from you, and I'm really impressed with how you add the view of the scanner in the video as you're troubleshooting. It was a really informative video!

Great Video Paul and Danner and this is another example of how knowing your basic fundamentals can help you when service data is lacking and the system just doesn't make sense. You did a great job and I love to see these oddball ones and see your thought process going through them. Happy New year to you, Danner and Calib and your families and have an awesome 2023!!!!

Wait….the lighter trick is new to me! I’m surprised that I haven’t seen it before due to my advanced age. Happy New Year to the entire Danner family! 🎉

Another great video between you and your brother.What ever happened the important thing is you found the problem and fixed it for the customer.Once again great video Paul and James and can't forget the camera guy Caleb.Hope everyone has a Great and Happy New Year, and a safe one.

I couldn't find one for this application, but Mopar sells terminal repair kits. You look up the connector and you can buy a pin with a length of wire already crimped in place. That way you can solder or crimp further from the terminal. It's also nice when the terminal is spread or corroded. Great diag, I feel spoiled with my OEM service data and scan tool. Lots of respect to the independent shop technicians.

Thank you are a life saver, had same problem but only with the green wire broken, soldered it back too, saved me a bunch of money.

Great video as always ScannerDanner! Always appreciate watching your fault-finding methodology and seeing how thorough you are. Regarding the right switch still reading on scan data, I think the key information is that the right hand (cruise control) switch is hard wired to the steering angle sensor, which to me makes it sound like it doesn’t use the same LIN connection as the other switches, and therefore the cruise control inputs would still be visible. Just my thoughts on this tricky little issue 👍

Excellent video Paul! Seeing how you struggled with that one made me feel a little better. Trying to find information these newer vehicles is getting harder. I feel like at times it takes longer to research the system than it does to diagnose the problem. Thank you for all the knowledge you share with us and best wishes to you and your family!

Thank you for the video. I've been working on a Jeep JK project which happens to use the same switch. The cruise control switch includes SC1, SC2, and SC ground. The swich circuitry includes a resistor matrix and, by pressing one of the cruise control functions, you are creating different voltage drops on SC1 and SC2. The resulting various combinations of voltage drops are what determines what button you are pressing. This is similar to how the old land line DTMF phones work. Anyway, on a Ram, those three wires (SC1, SC2, and SC ground) connect to the steering column control module (SCCM). The microprocessor in that module senses the different voltage drops and outputs can-bus messages to the ECM. The SCCM may also consolidate all steering wheel-based LIN traffic too but that is not part of my focus. In a Jeep JK, however, all three SC lines go through the clock spring, bypass any (if any exists) SCCM, and terminate to the ECM directly where it detects the matrix and controls the cruise function. I swapped a 5.7 Hemi into my Jeep and am trying to get the cruise control to work like the Ram. I need the can bus messages that the SCCM generates when you press the buttons. If I can connect my switch to a custom microprocessor that is programmed with the can messages the Ram sends, I can get my cruise control to work. It requires a connection to the can bus and software that would display the can message when the button is pressed.

Just wanted to say thank you, my 2013 RAM has no functionality on any of the steering column controls, so I watched this and took it all apart was actually pretty easy, the recall work was done I could tell by the rubber covers on the airbag and the zip tie. I checked to make sure the wires weren't broken and they weren't, so I checked for power going into the clock spring and it is getting power in so I'm pretty sure it is the actual clock spring that's malfunctioning. Just wanted to say thank you your video let me know at least where to look.

Great video. We definitely need a 2022 recap video like the 2020 video y’all did.

I have the same exact problem in my 2014 ram, this is the first video that has suggested it is not the clock spring. I will have to check to see if the recall extends to my year truck. Awesome video.

thanks for all your videos in 2022 , look forward to your videos for 2023 , thanks for all you and you bro teach the motor industry and Caleb for excellent camera work .. Happy New Year to you all from across the pond

Being in the collision repair industry I’ve changed many air bag harnesses due to the air bag connectors melting from being activated in a collision but haven’t chased a recall yet but I’m sure I’ll get them. Awesome video. It should help teach people to take their time and diagnose before being a parts changer. Just saying lol

My 2015 Ram is doing the exact same thing. I was going to replace the clockspring but I’m going to check that yellow wire first.

i love how when you are talking through these issues you sound more like a computer network technician than an auto mechanic. how things have changed, coming from the OBD 1 and when a lot of these computer controlled systems evolved. i haven't worked professionally in years but i still find the problem solving interesting.

My hands have shaked like that my entire life but I could probably thread a needle first try, I started slow clapping when danner performed a pixel perfect solder dab. Happy new years

Definitely caused by the dealer. When I had a 2010 dodge 2500 service truck years ago I took it in for the tie rod recall and they didn’t even align it after, wheel was 45 degrees off so back it goes. After the alignment was sorted, full lock to the left seemed odd so I look underneath and the tie rod adjuster sleeve clamps are positioned to where they contact the front axle. I loosened the clamps and rotated them without moving the sleeve and it was good. We’ve had all the big three service trucks and I know this goes against some opinions but ford has given us the best service all around. That same dodge also left me stranded in midland, tx at 11pm on a Sunday when the tipm shit out. Good times

Your skills are AMAZING. Thanks for the video. God Bless you and your family.

I was wondering when we would get a Christmas 🎄/ new year video but it's here.....seasons greetings everyone

Had a 2015 towed in no radio, no crank , more than 1/2 of the under hood fuse box was dead. Info was not great on diag but I found that the ignition module ($900) sends a bus signal to module behind the seat that sends power to 1/2 the under hood fuse box. “Internet” had some hits on broken corroded wire back to the module behind back seat panel near rear window motor. Customer refused more diag time so never got to see the issue.

Happy New Year Danners'! Thank you all very much. God bless you all. Bless God our father.

All the best for 2023 everyone stay healthy and send us greetings from germany.

Happy New Year to Paul, Caleb and ZZ Danner. 😁 Thank you all for another year of great content on your channel. Blessings and Peace in 2023.

Why did I find this video literally the day after i fixed mine, mine was the Grey and Green wires failed.. $278/CAD for a new harness I went to the wrecker and grabbed another for $25. I've had cruise control issues for 4 years Funny thing is the left button, the under buttons, heated steering wheel all go to the right cruise module.

You can see on your diagram at 6:02, (bottom left)-- that your broken wire was a ground (which was a white and yellow). You said it was yellow; I thought it was a yellow with white stripe-- because you can definitely see white on the video; But I guess it was actually a white wire with just a yellow stripe. There was only such a short piece of the color showing, and it's super easy to mix up white and yellow without blasting it with intense light so you can see it clearly. Cool video

Nancy was here all year long. Thank you Paul.

Happy New Year to the Danner Family. Hope your Christmas was great. Having coffee and learning from the best!

I WISH YOU COULD FIND MY PROBLEM ON MY 2010 FORD FUSION 3.0 !!, WHAT'S 10 CODES AND NO POWER STEERING !! . I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS ALL THE TIME YOU DO GOOD WORK!!, YOU KNOW THE STRANGEST THING IS THAT I HAVE THE SAME CODES ALMOST !!, WHAT'S MY FORD FUSION !!, ONE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT IT KEEPS SAYING BATTERY STATUS 11.85V ,!!, AND THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW !!, I'M ABOUT A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND HAD ONE CHARGED UP TO THE MAX . THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOOD VIDEOS!!, WE LEARN A LOT FROM THEM !! . NO ?

Happy 2023, Paul & family!!

Interesting problem with this one. They don't give anyone much wire to work with there. Your brother had a great idea there Paul, where taking the wire and soldering it back to the terminal. If you tried to open that crimp and tried crimping the end of the wire in there you will lose your mind. I wish manufacturers would just make cut leads; repairs would be much easier. That way, you can install the new terminal and either solder or use a splice sleeve to connect it. I tried before to crimp a wire on to those metal terminal ends. I didn't lose my mind but came close🤣. I truly believe a robot does that crimp when made at the factory.

My truck just went into the shop today for this issue. Hopefully it’s covered under my warranty

Now how many shops would ask a technician to diag this for 1hr? Or how many would change every part that it "could be"? And out of those shops, how many of them would do so because they've not trained the front of house staff on proper procedures or how to properly explain and obtain approval for the testing required? I think we're going to have a mandatory ScannerDanner video lunch on Monday to ensure our advisors have a true understanding of the work even seemingly simple issues may require.

Great video as always Paul

We have on of these trucks in the shop right now. Same scenario clock spring(steering control module) has been misdiagnosed and the U1009 code is still there .We do have cruse control operation but nothing else on the steering wheel works. Unfortunately our fault is not as "easy" as a broken wire. Power, ground and LIN bus are good at the switch module. I put my scope on the LIN and found a weird repeating signal coming from the steering control module. This signal is the same with the switch plugged in and unplugged. I believe the steering module is sending out a health signal to the switch module and getting no response. So I have called the switch module and we will receive it in Tuesday. But piecing this circuit together across multiple wiring diagrams I don't see what else the fault could be so fingers crossed. Great work and Happy New Year🎉🎊🎉🎊

I went blind on this one Paul ... Left me in the dark . Looks like I need to study more can bus .. dang it just when I thought I was gaining knowledge I'm taking one step back ... Back to the drawing board....

Happy New year 🎄 🎉 ✨️ Sir ScannerDanner My teacher Sir ScannerDanner SUBSTANTIAL Sir ScannerDanner Thank you Sir ScannerDanner Caleb Caleb Thank you SUBSTANTIAL Sir ScannerDanner From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧

Thanx Paul.Happy new year bro!Have an awesome 2023.Looking foreward to your new content next year.

Mines not working and I pulled my air bag already not I guess I got to pull it again to check thos wires

Thank you . I have been trying to figure this out for awhile.

Gotta love the combination of brainstorming and a genuine Russian Repair.

Happy New Year to Paul, Caleb, Danner, and clan. Thank you! Paul (in MA)

Big respect for the Idee how to open the airbag. 😁

As soon as I saw "inadvertent airbag deployment" I knew we were going to get the airbag clip. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for share. I hope that you and your family have a great 2023

Thanks. I had the same error code and the RAM Forum was all crickets. No Replies... Thanks. I will do into the column in the morning.

i always learn something from your vids.as long as you have danner there to translate...happy new year.

lol, once bitten twice shy at them airbags now. 🤣 never managed to explode any yet, but I'm sure my turn is coming!

Bless AWESOME 👏 video. Credit the cameraman, also. Happy New Year to the Danners. Thanks 😊

It is a safety issue when the truck downshifts on its own or cruise control comes on randomly

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO THE DANNER GANG!!!!! BEST OF LUCK

Experience diagnosis master. Happy new year

I have a 2010 Dodge Journey with no horn, wipers, headlights or taillights or turn signals but brake lights and cruise still work. I have replaced the clock spring, multifunction switch, TIPM and the entire steering wheel with controls and still nothing.

Well, that's clear as mud. Shaky hands? I couldn't get the soldering iron with in 6 inches of that wire.

What can I say, your are the best.

Danner doesn't get enough love - He's one fart smeller. Happy holidays guys - all the best for you and yours

Happy new year to everyone! The right switch cluster uses a resistor ladder and decodes signals by comparators in the receiving module. It is a trick used in european cars for decades already and ,as far as I know, it was invented by Walkman Japanese manufacturers and used for remote control along the audio wire. A cluster of switches with 2 wires only. Of course, this one in the video is a bit different (has 5V ref). Cheers!

I learned a lot on this one

Happy new year Danner!

Happy new year danner

Thats what is wrong with my dodge ram, the arrow buttons and horn doesn't work!!

happy new year to you paul and your family AND caleb and his family best wishes for all in the coming year

Happy New Year

The recall is pulling the wires out .. the pins are not soldered on … this should be a new recall

I have the same problem. What are you do it?

Hey listen I'm having the same problem but now mine is got no steering, temperature for out side saying -40 at all time and here I'm alberta it's like plus 4,,the sign for steering wheel with ! Mark shows up, now dash lights are blinking,now I have dinging going all the time, half my fuses don't work under the hood.wtf is going on.

Happy new year thanks

I think your access to Sure Track is still expired. Health and happiness in the New Year to you and your family.

I feel like Caleb missed opportunities to insert the airbags blowing clip, many many times.

Chrysler working with miller and snap on tools to make it impossible to work on unless you buy the tools 😕

Would you have a electronic stability control message if this happened

So just to operate the horn, it's: Horn switch > right switches > Lin > SAS > CAN > BCM > horn relay > horn... I mean, how much more ignorant can we make it.. smh. There's no sense in the horn being that complicated; granted, they just piggy backed it onto the other switches that are there-- but no wonder these things fail -- you're giving it a dozen points of failure along the way.

Happy new year you and your family

Why are you so surprised that the cruise control is on a dedicated communication circuit on the master module where the lefthand slave side is all non-safety related stuff. With all CC signals on just one wire you can never be in an unknown state. Just like the airbag is on a separate circuit. Makes perfect sense from a safety point of view

Great video!

Good job guys….

Where’s your shop located I have the same problem I need help

The method Dodge used with the buttons and resistors going to an ADC in the body module is the ghetto way to do it because flaky switches can give the wrong commands to the BCM. Much better to use the key scanner method with the X Y matrix button circuit.

Wish you was near me have 2011 ford edge fuse 29. Killed battery after 4 days not used. Done paid one person who replaced cluster,

Does the cruise control light turns on now on the cluster

Happy new year front Panamá

I am having this same exact issue in 2017 RAM 1500. What should I tell my local technician to help him diagnose and find this issue? Check the ground wire at the connector for the LIN going to right switch?

Happy new year everyone and you and thank you for posting video off yours grate job .hopefully many. Years with you and your Chanell bye from Kosovo .

Happy New Year Paul hope nothing but good comes toward you guys in 2023. I do have a question for you Paul, Pico2000 for an automotive is it worth buying it or?

In some vehicles, if I have the engine running. Why do communication DTCs set if I plug in a scan tool? Still learning

Thank 😊 🙏 you

What scanner did you use for this ❤

I had to deal with those same clips on the back, on a 2010 Dodge nitro, and they were very stubborn. I had to increasingly man handle them until nearly breaking things, until I finally got them. Weirdest design I've ever seen; whatever happened to using bolts?

Good morning Paul. I know this is a long shot, but I was hoping to get some insight. I own a 2005 Ford E450 with the 6.8 gas. It has been running slightly rough at idle( about 800-950), but when you put it in drive, she runs really rough, when you give it throttle with your foor on the brake, it doesn't want to rev above 1500 rpm. The codes are po171 and po174. When I'm reading live data, stft is switching between +3 and -4. Ltft is maxed at +26. MAF at idle is .2 lb. When I rev it up to 2500, LTFT goes down to +19, MAF goes up to +9lb. At idle is seems to rev up pretty good. It seems to chug pretty hard under load. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Niiiiiceee 🇵🇪

Paul, back in the day [1985 - 1995] repair of any SRS connectors & or wiring was verboten by the manufacturers, in my case Nissan, Mitsubishi & Honda. Replacement of any harness for wiring or connector damage was the only approved way from both a liability and warranty aspect. Repairs such as this and a subsequent unintended SRS deployment or failure to deploy with a command signal would leave the repair facility in a "liable if and until proven not liable" situation in court. Good luck with a jury on that one. Perhaps the legal system has moved on from the draconian approach? Does anyone with authority know how civil law reads now?

Just change the clock spring bud

Hi Danner do you prefer the versus edge over the Alibaba scanners?

It's almost as if the owner taking his truck in for the recall repair, ended up causing this issue, by them man handling it a little too hard when the zip-tied it. lol.. But if he never would have taken it in for the recall, of course it would have chaffed and made the other wires fail anyway.. I really don't like dodge because of stuff like this. I had a 99 Jeep grand Cherokee, and now she has a 2010 Dodge Nitro, and the wiring issues between the two of them have been an endless nightmare; unfortunately. I think they are going a little too small on their wire and it's causing them reliability/ durability/ longevity issues.

Paul (or anyone else who has relevant info for that matter). Are there any open source scope projects worth looking into? These scopes at the end of the day are just closed source computers with probes and close-source software. It's kind of crazy that these scopes would cost more than your typical overpriced apple gadget/computer

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Just call him dirty danner he gets every dirty job that others can’t fix 😌
