1987 Dodge Ram Wagon B350 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

It should be located near the thermostat housing where the radiator hose connects.

don't hold me to this, but I believe the electrical for that RV is under the sink, basically you can back track any circuit it will lead you back to the inverter, depending on which RV body they put on your Dodge it can vary, look under the seats at the table for the batteries , make sure all the contacts are clean , a dirty connection will cause the alt to not charge the system, which drains pretty fast , other systems , if you have one, Include a generator system also, which when running should also charge the system

Check the wiring on the radio again ,now iam not sure about this as its an older vehicle but some vehicles use self volume adjusting and light feed for panel lights and its possible you have connected to a light feed or wired this to earth and blown the fuses .Look under the bonnet in the power distribution box in case you have blown a fuse in here that feeds it all .

If the blower isn't working check the fuse/circuit breaker, and relay if one is used. If the blower is working, and if in the defrost mode warm air is produced then it is likely a problem with a vacuum actuator that diverts airflow in the duct system. Some vehicles have a valve that controls hot engine coolant flow to the heater core, if your vehicle has one it will be located where the heater hoses pass through the firewall check to make sure it is functioning correctly.

you my find the diagram inside the fuse box cover.....hope this helps.....cheers

This is a clear indication that an engine bearing has failed. Usually the cheapest way to resolve this is to find a used engine and have it installed if you feel that the van still has some usable life left in it.

Hope this helps,

buy another one

follow to end of top radiator hose and you will find it!

the ajustment for the parking brake is under the truck climb under the truck

Check fuses

If your transmission fluid is good (and not totally burned up - give it the smell test) you have a problem with the shift solenoid in the transmission - either it is the solenoid or the electrical wire powering it.

Take the old wires off one at a time. Compare the old wire to the new wires and find the new one that is the same length as the old one. put the new wire on routing it exactly as the old one was routed. Move on to the next wire. As long as you replace them one at a time you can't mess anything up. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

Hi!!

Align the NEW Dist Cap on top of the OLD one to check the instalation position, once you have it right, remove one cable from the old one and replace on the same position on the new one. repeat procedure until all the wires are in the new cap. This way you will not have to worry about messing up the firing order.

Good Luck!!! Don't forget to rate this post!!!

remove engine cover from between seats.the oil sending unit is to the right of the distributer . on the rear of the engine

Could be one of two things. If you changed all of this and still no spark it is either a ground problem or computer is bad.

The lock the ignition key fits in is not the actual start switch. The actual switch is located on the steering column under the dash and is actuated by a metal rod that is pushed when you turn the key. as you turn the key see if you can feel anything moving on the steering column under the dash and then follow it to the switch and see if it is actually activating the start switch.

Start with the silly, obvious things first. Check the coils packs are the correct ones and are seated correctly. Check the wiring connectors are also seated correctly. Have you checked for spark on all of the coils? This will test to see if it is the coils themselves or further back in the ignition system. Have you had the vehicle scanned for OBD trouble codes? This will help find out if it's a sensor causing the issue. Next you need to check for voltage going to the coil packs. Check them all to make sure it isn't just one or two causing the issue. After this I would suggest getting a good Auto electrician to look at it as it could be an issue inside the vehicle's electronics.

A few possibilities: Key FOB Proximity: If the key FOB is near the vehicle, the "Push to Start" screen might stay on. Door Sensor: If the vehicle's door sensor is malfunctioning or if the doors are not properly closed, it could cause the screen to stay on. Battery Issues: If there's an issue with the vehicle's battery or the battery of the key FOB, it could potentially cause this problem. It's also worth noting that some users have reported similar issues with their vehicles and have found success in disregarding the prompts asking to turn off/turn on the car You may have to go to a professional mechanic to get this properly diagnosed. That said, here is the service manual: https://cardiagn.com/dodge-charger-2015-2018-service-manual-wiring-diagrams/

Question edited for clarity. A 'witch' is a lady with a pointy hat that use a broomstick for transport. :>D The distributor will only go on one way that is a small notch in the cap that drops into a notch on the distributor body. Here is the 'firing order', what spark plug wire goes where. https://www.google.com/search?q=1978+dodge+tradesman+v8+firing+order ..
