I purchased a TIPM but was afraid to change it, after watching your video I was able to do the job in 30 minutes. Thank you very much.

This saved me so much money and trouble!!!! THANK YOU!!!! I have a 2009 Dodge Ram1500. I thought I was going to be forced to take it to the dealer and pay thousands of dollars!!!! I followed the instructions in this video and it worked!!!! Running and operating perfectly!!!!!

I did this after I was sure I had an internal ECU problem on my 2008 GC diesel. The jeep ran for about 5 seconds after I did a DPF delete and hot tune on it and then it died and would only turn over. I had all kinds of strange codes showing up all of a sudden. Then I found this video! You saved me loads of money! I can't thank you enough. I just have to figure out why I have red throttle warning light on now and no radio anymore, but, she runs again! In limp mode, but, she runs! And that was half the battle thanks again! 😁

The brother of one of our mechanics had a 2007 Dodge Nitro that had a likely TIPM issue. Not only did I get personal, caring service over the telephone, but I ordered a TIPM after determining that it was likely the problem (and I was educated that it should be replaced on that year Nitro anyway, as it is one of the most notorious). The price at Mak's for the TIPM was less than the dealer with a shop discount and some adding pencil sharpening (for a brand new OEM part), even after overnight shipping via FexEx. The TIPM installed perfectly, required no dealer coding (some lights were on after install, which went away after a day of driving, just as was explained to me and I hopefully expected). The problem was solved and everyone involved on our end was extremely grateful. This is what good business is all about, personalized service and customer education. As a shop of professional mechanics from Seattle, we were completely delighted with our experience and look forward to doing business again if the need arises - we could not ask for any better.

I can't thank you enough for this video. My 2008 Jeep Wrangler started acting up a few months ago. HVAC system would kick on and off spontaneously, passenger door wouldn't lock time to time, and both headlights completely stopped working at the same time. When switched on, they would flicker 4-5 times and would not turn on for a day or so. Followed your video, let the TIPM and battery sit overnight, reconnected everything and sure enough everything is working. Hope it stays like this!! Thank you so much, you saved me hundreds

This video was a HUGE (I cannot overstate that enough) help. Thank you for posting. For those of you undertaking this task, I cannot stress enough that after releasing the cam device on each connector, make sure you push down on the see-saw release tab (I don't know what they are called) firmly so as not to break them (like I did on 2 of them).

I have a 2010 Nitro and my wife was driving at night when the lights stop working. After researching it I found it's a faulty TIPM. The dealer wanted over $1100 to repair it. Luckily I found Mak. I got one of his TIPMs and my car works great now! I also live in LA si I was able to pick it up in like 20 min. Instalation was fast and easy. Thanks Mak!

Absolutely the best mechanic's video I've ever seen. Your step by step instructions, including the fine points like even where to push a tab on a connector is outstanding.

For as many years as I've watched KZfaq, don't remember ever liking or commenting on any video. Just ordered a TIPM from Mak on Friday, arrived, in Hawaii, by Monday early afternoon, and in my car by Tuesday. I don't even know if it works yet or if it will solve my problem, but the detailed instructions provided in the box by Mak, and this video, were awesome. I've broken countless clips off cars over the years b/c I never saw some hidden tab on it. Not this time, the one clip I had problems with I just needed to run back to my computer and rewatch how Mak describes removing it. No detail left out. If he were an Amazon storefront I'd give 5 stars. Excellent price, super reasonable return policy. This guy knows how businesses should be run.

Straight up recommendation that you buy your replacement TIPM from Mac and TIPMrebuilders.com. I was pulling my hair out with my 2011 Chrysler Town and Counrty which we use for our real estate photography business Shoot For Sold in West Michigan. Watched a video on replacement above. Got a salvage TIPM for $174. It had probably been sitting with no hood and the box lid off in the weather. It solved some of the problems, but not other. Rebuilders answered question even though I did not buy the TIPM from them. 3 attempts at hard resets....no luck....no start. Suspect the fuel pump relay. Ordered a rebuilt TIPM from these guys at noon. Had it in my hands at 11 am the next day. Van was back in service by 11:30 am! $350 for a TIPM with all of the defective parts replaces with better components! This was the best $$ I have spent on car parts in a long time!!! Honestly, if I owned another Chrysler or Jeep product with a TIPM that is potentially effected by the defective original component, I would buy one from these guys to preemptively prevent failure at a critical time. These guys are your Chrysler flu shot this season!

Had to come back and give my thanks for this video. Helped me out tremendously. 🙏🏾

This video was extremely helpful and informative. Looking at the TIPM at the beginning, it looked complicated. This video explains exactly how to do this project t

That’s so easy! Thank you so much you did a great job explaining everything & your Camera was in the right spots to easily see what your doing.🙏🏽

Great video, excellent visuals! Thank you.

2008 Dodge ram hemi. Floor vents did not work, radio volume knob was random. Truck would not start. I did exactly what this video said. Waited over night to reinstall. Everything works now. Thank you so much!!

Your vid is great. Very detailed as to which tabs and lock to move. Thank you so much. You spared me mutch time, scraped knuckles, and frustration.

Truly one of the best " how to " videos I have ever seen ...

I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video brother. You da man!🤙

I really appreciate your videos. They save a ton of money and a boatload of headache. I was wondering if you happen to know anything about doing the hard reset on a 2012 Chrysler 200. The battery placement makes for a very difficult experience to pull the leads off the battery. From what I understand, one needs to remove the front left wheel to be able to access the battery to pull the cables off. Unless you know of another way to disconnect the battery?

Amazing. Thx. Couldn’t start my car and I did exactly the same thing and started right the way. Finally a video with results

Hi my dear friend Mak I would like to thank you for doing these videos. I watched some of them I did the same steps you did. My question is how often do I do that remove and install tipm to my car dodge grand caravan and if one switches of the doors or liftgate doesn't work what can I do?

Man I appreciate you posting this Great help no bs right to the work

I did saved money watching this video .thantks very much.

Excellent video !! Thank you dude!!

Very informative video! Good job Matt!!

Great video man! I would've definitely broken those tabs trying to get them off. Thanks for taking the time

Excellent video kicks but from start to finish no lag time or wasted words...cheers!

Thank you!!!!! This is a really good help!!! Very good explaining 👌

This is the video I needed!!!

Hello! Thank you very much for sharing the video. I make a query. I have a Dodge Journey 2.7 v6 and it will burn the TIPM module and I want to replace it with another taken from another journey. Does the TIPM modile need programming? From already thank you very much.

Hi mak your video was awesome . Dodge wants 1200 to replace my girls tipm in her 2011 Dodge Ram 1500. But found you're website and your video. Looks supper simple to do. THANK YOU! How much for a tipm for a Dodge Ram 1500? I'm in the Simi Valley so I'm sure I can drive to you and just do this in a parking lot. Thanks!

This is great to know in order to save money. Thank you. Question: why not disconnect the capacitors out from the TIPM instead of taking the entire box out?

Job well done, thank you for the information.😊

Just ordered one for my car. Came across this video. By far the easiest video to follow. Great job!!!

A new maks tipm fixed my jeep liberty limp mode problem, i ordered it to be preprogrammed for my VIN

Okay, this is kinda funny. I took my Dodge Journey to a mechanic who told me the TIPM was bad on my car. He told me he couldn't replace it because it requires programming by the dealership to get it working for my specific car. I went to the dealership and they quoted me $1375 for my TIPM, but it's on back order and they may not get one for a year, but at least they guy suggested that I hunt around online and see if I can get one myself. During my hunt, I discovered MAKS website, where you can order a rebuild of your existing TIPM. So then I decided to hunt around to see if I could find a video to show me how to R&R mine so I don't have to get a mechanic involved at all. I found this video, completely independent of the website. I didn't even realize it was the same company until the end of the video. You guys should definitely link to this KZfaq video on your website. I'm pulling my TIPM and sending it to you TODAY to get it rebuilt. A rebuild (as of this post) only costs around $220, so I'm saving OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!! Thank you guys, SO SO SO much!!!

Very helpful. Thanks

Thank you!! I have a 2008 Dodge Avenger that was having issues with the wipers going bezerk for years. More recently, it wouldn’t stay running but had weird electrical issues. It ended up being the TIPM. My local auto shop wasn’t sure if that was the issue, and said it would be at least 1400$ for this part and they might have to still do the PCM and another 1200$. Thanks to your video I bought a used tipm from a scrapyard for 27$ and had my car working in less than 10 minutes.

Thank you very much for this great video!!!!!!!

thankyou this was very helpful my mom's 2013 dodge Avenger doesn't turn over but the dash board lights up Charged the battery overnight but still didn't start up Car was towed 5 or 6 months ago Maybe the towing was done wrong didn't have key to put it in neutral Going to take to auto shop for diagnostic

Just been looking at my TIPM so thanks for showing all the tabs on the plugs. They do come out very easily. I need one now to swap over but not many spares in UK.

Tipm came in fast and on time. Thanks

I found this when I searched for starting problems. 2011 Ram 6 cyl. Could the problem be a clogged fuel filter? I realize the filter and pump are in the tank, which is a bigger job that what your great TIPM R&R video showed. How can I test the TIPM?

Thank you for this! after I did this now my tire traction light came on would you know why?

I wish there was a way to tip video makers on youtube. I would totally send you a tip. thank you so much . you got it right don't pay the "stealerShip"

Good day Mac. Have you done this with a Dodge Journey 2011-2019 (2012). I have a new (refurbished) TIPM box because like many I’ve endured the starting/cranking issues. I was going to pay someone to do it. Is it as simple as you make this video? Thanks for your art and expertise!

Great video bro!! Could you make one where you remove the damn sway bar harness please

The doors on my 08 KK don't always lock, especially if it's warm out. The door lock buttons in the door panels and the remote don't work. The horn will sound and the lights will flash but the doors won't lock. I'm going to try this to see if it might just be a connection seeing as if only happens when it's warm. Thanks for the video, helps with my confidence to pull the TIPM.

Thank you for sharing this with us

Great video, I just hope someone mentioned that if you did this on a diesel (dual battery) make sure you remove the leads on both batteries before you try putting the red and black together.

Mak, My 07 Pacifica was ano start when I bought it. I added an extra 2awg ground from the neg terminal to the tranny. Now it turns but won’t start...Do you think it may be the TIPM? Your the guy to buy it from if l need one

Hi Matt, Awesome video, I have a 2013 Ram 3500, I have dual batteries would I unhook both of them and tie up or only the one closest to the TIPM. I thought it would be both but wanted to make sure.

Hi Mak I have a 2005 Town & Country Touring . I opened the tale gate now it will not close, i used the remote. inside buttons and manually. i don't hear any clicks and the tale gate is up. ( are there any fuses for that. Warm Regards Andy.

Will you list the issues that a hard reset will possibly solve? Will be nice to know first so we can make a decision based on our particular issue. Thanks.

Thank you for doing close ups on the tabs. You can tell most people edit out that they were fiddling with them for 20 minutes

Hi, thanks for the video. If you’re still checking questions, wondering if it’s necessary to replace the whole fuse block if it’s loose. Was having electrical trouble with my 2017 gmc terrain, the positive terminal (bolt) used to boost the battery was loose and had melted the plastic of the red cap. The mechanic removed the loose bolt, cleaned it, the tightened it back in place. But said that the whole fuse block was loose which may have caused the bolt to come loose. He said it shouldn’t move, and if it was his car he would replace it. Cost to be around $200-$300. Is there no after market bracket I could use to secure it? Thanks.

Thank you yeah I'm actually having my jeep towed from the dealer after watching your video I'm going to go home and order one do I need to order a brand new one for $900 or should I get a rebuilt one and I'm hoping they come with all new fuses and relays correct any suggestions should I get the new one for $900 I got a 2015 with 81,000 Mi on it I rolled it over in the snow it was it was it had a little bit of water in the lid and the front corner and then it sat at a storage place for 4 months so I ordered some deoxidizer so I can clean all my female connectors

Thanks for this video very good. From san andres island, colombia

Does this work on any car? I have a 2006 pt cruiser and I was told it had bad computer and needs to be reprogrammed. Any thoughts? It starts then dies after a few mins and if I don't touch it at all for few days it stays on longer but eventually dies.

Damn 10mm always goes missing!

Mac you are awesome.

I don’t know if you’ll be able to help me, but here go, I have a 2015 dodge journey sxt with a 4.3S uconnect, I upgraded to the 8.4 screen RB5 Radio that supposed to have navigation on it, but I don’t get nav and the AC the climate screen shows 22 degrees, I was wondering would that fix this issues? I even took it to the dealer to reprogram it for me, but they told me that the car won’t accept the new radio because the old one still program in it, any help will be helpful...

I just got back from the dealer who fixed everything else first.. then lastly said I needed to get the TIPM from them for $675. + programming/install of it. And it would be on back order besides. :( There are parts stores out there who will sell one with your VIN programmed by them into it (which is necessary for it to work in your vehicle) .. prolly go this route .. hope it works.

And btw, you ROCK!

Doing this would fix the horn blowing randomly issue?

Having trouble with my Sebring. I’ve tried two different tipm units (used) and can’t get my wipers to function properly. I didn’t however (either) time zip tie my battery cables together. If I just did that now and reconnected the battery a few hours later do you think that will fix the issue perhaps?

Is it the same for 2006 dodge ram truck 2500 heavy-duty

I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler that will not go into reverse. it drives forward in N. It drives in all other gears normally just will not reverse. should I do try the TIPM reset

Nice work

Whats up brother Mac. I love your videos going back several years of driving the old metal hemi era of the full body Durangos. Now I have a Chrysler Aspen thats basically the same thing, to which, I've lost all power. First my alarm didnt recognize the fob and then I lost ALL power. It briefly came back on after a hard reset of the tipm , as well as, changing the battery terminals. "No fuse" displayed on the dashboard cluster, + no radio, no lights of any kind, no blowers, [etc] briefly, before cutting back off. All of which seemed to indicate the IOD was bad. So I checked the IOD and it was indeed beyond caked with corrosion. I attempted to spray it with electrical contact cleaner but no dice. I still have absolutely no power of any kind. You got any advise Mac?? PLEASE ADVISE!!!!!!!!!!

Hey mate I need to change on my audi a3 that will be same job to remove?

If I am going to just unplug and reseat all the plugs on the unit to be sure of a good connection, do I have to connect the two battery cables and wait for several hours? Thanks.

Hello, I have a premium jeep commander 5.7 v8 hemi 2006, with a radio gps and uconnect, my problem is that the uconnect tells me that all possible phones are recorded for bluethooth and I can not delete the previous ones to enter my new cell phone, as or factory reset the uconnect? greetings Santiago de Chile

How do I tap into a stable ignition 12v current off the TIPM (want to wire an external voltage regulator)? Is that the blue wire coming off the corner in the video-- what is safe to tap into?

All u do is disconnect the wires an put the bat terminals 2gether and wait for a few hours or one day man that's easy imma do that on my dodge caliber sxt thanks mack

Do you have to take it to the dealership to reprogram the TIPM ? I am replacing my TIPM its not refurbished but pulled from another challenger

I have question after remove bad old one ,get from others good tipm after installed ,Do you need to program it at dealer ? My car 2013 Dodge Grand Carvan base

Hello just watched your video on the tipm ? Can a tipm make a alternator go bad?

Thanks for this video,man people in dealership service are too greedy of money even minor issue of the car they ask over price their work which like a fraud u cant trust them all

Great Video!!!!! Too easy for DIY's like me who just need the basics you covered. Quick Question. Do all the plugs you took out have different sizes so that its obvious where they plug into when reinstalling? Some of them looked identical from the video and I want to make sure I don't plug it in backwards

If I purchase a new TIPM will it need to be reprogrammed to the vehicle OR would I be better off just getting my old one repaired? It’s an 08 Sahara unlimited. Also, how long will the repair or rebuild take?

Thank You Sir!

I got a fuse box and took the negative battery cable out and replaced the fuse box but my car doesn't start now. 2007 Buick lacrosse. What did I do wrong and how can I fix it?

Changed it out but now all of my 4wd lights are on and it will not shift into 4wd. Trying the hard reset over night. Have you seen this issue?

So did you swap the TIPM or just drain the capacitors, disconnect everything and reinstall to solve the issue on this particular Jeep? My wife’s 2017 JK has been acting up and I’m trying to pin point the issue for as little cost as possible. Radio goes in and out and the dash goes crazy.

Hey man I'm facing a no crank no start situation on an 09 wrangler. With the key in the on position or even start position the fuel pump isn't powering on. I've checked all grounds and replaced the ignition module. I'm at wits end with this thing. Does this sound like a tipm problem. I just don't want to keep throwing unnecessary $ at this thing.

One question, though. I have a 2010 dodge journey with the typical problem of the battery dying. When I replace the tipm, don't I still have to take it to the dealer to have it programmed ?

Can a bad tipm cause the radio and instrument cluster gauges to malfunction? I just replaced my battery and alternator, and everything in my 2017 Jeep wrangler works perfectly fine besides my dash gauges and radio! And they don’t malfunction all the time, it’s bad as of late but for the most part it can go weeks without malfunctioning and then go weeks straight with malfunctioning

Anyone happen to know if this will reset any vehicles with custom tunes on them? I want replace the fuse box/TIPM on my Jeep SRT but questioning whether this will reset my custom tune.

Salve, ma dopo aver sostituito TIPM (scatola dei fusibili) con una nuova, occorre programmarla per la propria jeep o rifunziona tutto in automatico? La chiusura automatica con il telecomando rifunziona o va riprogrammato? Grazie

Ok, I replaced the TIPM in my 2007 Jeep Wrangler yesterday and Nothing. It was completely dead, no lights, wipers, turn over, nothing. I was hoping this would fix that because over the past year I lost the wiper, horn, and other randoms. Dealer even suspected the TIPM. However, someone told me I needed to check the air bag fuses and Key in ON position for 12 seconds. Anyone ever heard of this? I have not tried it yet, I will when I get home. If this doesnt work, any thought or ideaas???

Mac, thank you so much for this video amigo! Super helpful! I am so pissed at the POS Chrysler that we bought that I will promise never to buy on again!!! Ever!!! The video was stable, constructive and super well organized! I found a TIPM in a local salvage yard. But I already have a feeling that I should have purchased one from you sir! Thank you again! Americans helping Americans! Appreciate your wisdom!!!

I have to add a tap into accessory from under the hood. I was considering using an add-a-circuit, but after seeing your video I'm thinking of tapping into one of the connector wires underneath the TIPM. Any recommendations for an "Accessory" wire?

ALSO THE KEYLESS REMOTE FUSE WHERE MIGHT I FIND IT ?

On a 05 Jeep grand cherokee when you change this does the dealer have to reprogram vechile

When you connected the Poz. cable the horn started blowing. My horn blows randomly on my jeep. Do you think my tipm is bad?

Will this get rid of the “engine will not restart in x miles” message after an eco diesel repair? Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

you the MAN
