i am having the same problem, today was the second time to the dealer and today they said they could find nothing wrong, first time they replaced a sensor for the trailer lights, if you or anyone gets a fix please let me know

Latest fix by dealer was to replace module in dash. Also they individually
 flashed all other modules. Was advised there was a service order pertaining
 to the modules. Do not know witch ones. Truck has sat for three days I have
 checked it each day and have not had problems. My trailer sensor was also
 replaced approximately two month prior to problems

Did you ever figure anything out on this? My 09 Ram is having similar issues when it gets wet. driving in the rain and shut it off than you go to start it up and no traction control, no air bags, no wipers, no heater, and the temp gauge is all messed up. This is the second time this has happened to me and last time it took a week to work right again. Who knows this time as it is still raining. Any ideas?

#459 of 460 Shorted relay/fuse box by ramhead1

Apr 11, 2013 (5:40 am)

I had similar problems a few years ago. The wires in the fusebox under the hood were very short and stretched. This caused them to break and different intermittent electrical problems especially when it was wet. For some reason the two dealers I took the truck to could not find this problem. I butt spliced the broken and/or frayed wires together, and all now works fine. The fuse/relay box is under the hood, by the firewall on the driver side. Good luck.
