Replying to: tiger38 (Apr 25, 2008 5:26 pm) You are not alone in this one. I too have a very similar problem, but my truck is a 98 Ram 1500 extended cab 2 wheel drive. Mine has the ABS and Brake lights on, speedo didn't start working until reaching 30 mph and above, but recently changed to 50 and above. My turn signal fuse also keeps blowing and my engine light is on, and I will check the codes shortly and let you know what they are.

after fueling my truck the check engine light came on, gas cap was not on correctly. Is their a way to shut light off myself without taking to dealer? thanks Replies to this message: stanoski (Feb 14, 2009 12:53 pm) roxana (Feb 16, 2009 3:16 pm)

Replying to: duff72 (Feb 14, 2009 12:47 pm) Try unhooking your battery for a few minutes and then hooking it back up. It works on other cars / trucks I have owned. If its still an issue, the light will eventually go back on.   Ski in TX

if the gas cap was the problem & you fixed it. the light will reset all by itself after a few starts.

#132 of 196 Dodge Ram with warning lights and spedometer issues by dodgedodger1 Feb 16, 2009 (4:38 pm)
I figured out how to fix the problem with the ABS and Brake lights on, and the speedo not working until the speed of 30 or 60 is reached, along with the blinkers and flashers blowing fuses. I do not understand why all these items were affected, but when I replaced the rear wheel speed sensor they all went away. I bought the speed sensor at Auto Zone - Murray's doesn't carry them, took it home and removed the negative battery cable. Then I removed the old sensor from atop the rear axle pig housing and replaced it. (Do not pry or hammer it, you'll break the bottom off in the housing and have a *)&^ of a time removing it. You need to gently twist and pry at the same time to get the old one out.) Once it was changed I replaced tha battery cable and took it for a drive - everything worked fine with no more lights. The turn signals still didn't work because the fuse was still blown from before, so I took a chance and replaced it - turn signals have been working fine for a week now. Hope this helps someone else.

#133 of 196 Oil preasure guage trouble by woodturner1 Feb 27, 2009 (1:43 pm)
OK here goes folks. 8 months ago my oil sending unit on my 2001 Dodge 1500 went out. Unit was changed and all was well. Last week it went out again so we thought. We changed it again, the gauge worked for about 15 miles of driving then went to zero. Stop the restart and the engine gauge goes to about 38psi for about 4 miles then drops to zero. If I sit parked it works for about 5 minutes then stops working.   My check engine light has been on for a long time because of the dreaded P-0455 code. I disconnected the battery and cleared that code and got no other codes.   What do you know the oil gauge starts working. I drove for about 30 miles with no problem starting and stopping several times. About half a mle from my house it starts this on and off thing every 10 to 15 seconds or so.   I checked for codes using the on-off-on-off-on method and didn't get any. The oil in the engine is good and the truck only has 59 K miles on it.   Does anyone have a clue has to what would cause this problem.
#134 of 196 Oil Pressure gauge by whitr Feb 27, 2009 (2:45 pm)
Read response from Dusty to my post. I am having very similar symptoms as you and he feels that it is my oil pump. One difference is that I have 190k miles on my '98, so it probably is the oil pump. I haven't made the repair yet but plan on doing so shortly. One suggestion that was made to me by someone else was to put a qt. of Lucas Oil Stabilizer in before switching out the pump.That's a $10 gamble that has a better chance of working on your low miles engine, but be sure and dump a qt of oil first to make room for the Lucas. The Lucas might break down a possible sludge buildup that could be affecting your oil pump screen. Good luck.

After reading all of the blogs on this vehicle, no wonder Chrysler is about to go under. Replies to this message: woodturner1 (Feb 27, 2009 8:03 pm) goalie (Mar 06, 2009 6:27 am) woodturner1 (Mar 08, 2009 7:42 pm) and 2 more... whitr (Mar 06, 2009 7:19 am)

Replying to: whitr (Feb 27, 2009 3:42 pm) OK thanks I can give the Lucas a try.Might just help. Just seems odd that it would change what it was doing after I cleared the P-0455 code. Then go to a working not working type mode.   What makes me think it is not the pump is the pressure drops instantly to zero not like it is losing it slowly then climbing back up. I am thinking more electrical than anything.   But I don't know thats why I am here asking.LOL   Replies to this message: goalie (Mar 06, 2009 6:27 am) woodturner1 (Mar 08, 2009 7:42 pm) woodturner1 (Mar 08, 2009 7:45 pm) and 1 more... whitr (Mar 06, 2009 7:19 am)
