#274 of 306 Re: 06 Ram dually diesel 4x4 turn signal trouble [06dually4x4] by kcram HOST Jul 09, 2009 (6:32 pm)
Replying to: 06dually4x4 (Jul 08, 2009 6:23 pm) The parts store is correct. Such previous electromechanical functions are now handled by the body control module (BCM).   More than likely, the computer thinks a bulb is failing or has failed... I had a fender bender in my 05 dually a couple of years ago, and the right front turn signal was broken in the collision - when I pulled over and turned on the hazard lights, EVERY exterior light except for the white ones took over hazard duty - this included all the roof, rear fender, and tailgate clearance lights.   kcram - Pickups/Wagons Host Replies to this message: 06dually4x4 (Jul 09, 2009 9:28 pm)

Replying to: kcram (Jul 09, 2009 6:32 pm) That was going to be my first attempt to fix the problem. I was able to get the 3157na bulbs but not the w5w bulbs. When they come in I'm changing all the bulbs...
#276 of 306 ABS and brake lite on, speedometer & odom. inop by slimbo2 Jul 11, 2009 (1:02 pm)
First time posting so probably won't do this right. Have a 98 2500 4x4 diesel and just came back from a trip. Ran great but next morning the ABS and brake lites remained lit and the speedometer and odometer were inoperative. So far I haven't gotten a NO BUSS msg. Read dodgefan99 post Jun 14, 2008 and not quite sure about the screw mentioned. I have a large hex hd screw with phillips slot that is listed as "Engine Inline". Backing out that screw came up snug and I didn't want to force it. Help would be appreciated.
#277 of 306 2002 ram 1500 will not start by mka1957 Jul 15, 2009 (2:58 am)
My 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 will not start. The dome light came on when I opened the door to get in, but when I put the key in and turned it to start, the starter kicked breifly once and everything went out. Dash, domelight, everything is dead and the truck will not start. There is now a faint clicking noise like a relay repeatedly clicking over and over again, even with no key in the ingnition. When i opened the hood, the engine compartment light comes on , but flickers in time with the clicking noise. Any ideas?

Replying to: 06dually4x4 (Jul 08, 2009 6:23 pm) After changing all the bulbs the problem still exsisted. So I had a thought.... Since everthing is ran by computers now, I thought I would re-boot my truck. It seems to have worked, for now at least!!! I disconnected both batteries for about 15 minutes and then gave it a try, so far so good. Now if I can only remember how to change my clock. Replies to this message: kcram (Jul 18, 2009 6:18 pm)

Replying to: 06dually4x4 (Jul 15, 2009 7:45 am) Pretty soon, the dash will have a full QWERTY keyboard, and we can just hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete for that (he said, dripping with deadly sarcasm towards the automakers).   kcram - Pickups/Wagons Host
#280 of 306 L.E.D stop,turn and tail ? by dirtmover69 Jul 22, 2009 (2:33 am)
I tried to install led lights on my 05 ram 1500 ,when I plug the lights in they light up even with the key off and removed .When I do test them the turn flashes erratically and so does the stop when the brake is pressed.Is there an after market controller for these? or are they like a windows computer (random glitches and malfunctions)?I have talked to the dodge dealer and they have never heard of this..

Replying to: dirtmover69 (Jul 22, 2009 2:33 am) I'm not too sure if your truck has an electronic control box or not. I would start by disconnecting everything that you added for those lights, disconnect it at the power source. Now see how your original system is working. If there is still a problem see if dissconecting the battery for 15 minutes will work for you too... Good Luck

Replying to: dirtmover69 (Jul 22, 2009 2:33 am) Biggest problem with adding LEDs to a vehicle that wasn't delivered with them is, the computer will not necessarily recognize them as actually being on properly, since LEDs have a very different (lower) current draw - the computer doesn't see the resistance it expects and tries to analyze a problem that actually isn't there.   The company that made the LEDs should be aware of this issue, and they should be your first call for help.   kcram - Pickups/Wagons Host Replies to this message: dirtmover69 (Jul 23, 2009 4:44 am)

Replying to: kcram (Jul 23, 2009 2:49 am) thank you for the info .I have also heard there is an adapter that will plug in to make the voltage read better.I will call first to make sure though.
