2002 Dodge Ram 3500 Truck - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Hi john , can u help with my 02 ram 1500 ****** slipping
check the oil and transmission fluid levels also smell and look at the trans fluid if smells burnt and looks brownish you can change filter and fluid and hope no internal damage ---also to much oil and fluid is just as bad as low --- have the codes read most auto stores offer this service for free
Code 1281
IT MEANS THE ENGINE IS COLD FOR TO LONG SO ITS A TEMPERATURE SENSOR. YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE THERMASTAT IN YOUR CAR. THE GAGE IS WORKING OR YOU WOULD NOT GET A 1287 CODE SO DONT MESS WITH THE GAUGE, JUST GET A NEW THERMASTAT. AND UNHOOK YOUR NEGATIVE CABLE ON THE BATTERY BEFOR YOU REPLACE THIS AND TURN IGNITION TO START POSITION AND DO A TEN SECOND COUT, THEN REPLACE THE THERMASTAT , THEN HOOK YOUR NEGATIVE CABLE BACK UP THIS CLEARS THE CODES IN YOUR CAR SO IT WILL READ NEW CODES AS THINGS GO OUT. ALWAYS CLEAR YOUR CODES BEFOR DOING THE REPAIR AND DONT HOOK UP THE BATTERY UNTIL YOUR DONE WORKING ON IT,
My door ajar lights wont turn off.
I do not think it has anything to do with the door. I think you should put a scan tool on it and see what you pull for codes.
Please let me know.
No reverse lights diesel manual 5 sp trans
Hi Francis:
I'm assuming you've checked the bulbs and confirmed the grounds and sockets.
I'd check the transmission to see if there is a wire coming from it.
that should be the reverse lights switch. Check with a continuity meter to make sure it is working. Reverse shift position - continuity. Any other position, switch should be open.
Replace if not working.
If it is working you'll need to explore more.
Please reply as a comment to this post if you need more info.
Cheers.
No power to fuel except when turning over
if it is a G.M. product from around 2000 +/- then it is a security feature that shuts of the fuel pump when a electrical spike is registered in the system.....if you leave it for about 20 minutes it will start up and run normaly, if it keeps occuring then you will have to take it in to a dealer to have this feature disabled '04 vette and 2000 suburban both went through this...
Theft alarm acctivated , would not disarm. finally shut off, now won't start at all but will crank over
Look for a little antenna in the middle of windshield if it has a button on it press to reset. If not look for a kill switch usually on plastic under steering wheel on TH left side around where the bottom of your leg is when u sit in car if you find one switch to opposite other position . If that doesn't work you have to find out what wire is stopping power to your ignition if there's a local alarm place I would suggest having them take the alarm out and back to factory
