When I start my 2000 Ram3500 the alternator gage only slowly rises to full output(14v). It used to pop right up. One time, the first time , the check gages light came on too. Now it works but I'm worried that it will quit altogether. The van has a Roadtrek conversion. I can have it rebuilt but I'll have to remove it and may need tips on that too. - Don
I'd suspect that the gauge is just tired. Check the voltage at the battery with a multi meter while the engine is running. At idle, if you are anywhere near 14V (13.8-14.5) you are fine.

I don't have a solution to the problem, but another question. Do you need to have a mechanic pressure test?

This is caused by a problem with the BCM (body control module), do the following, if that doesn't reset the BCM then u will need to have the dealer replace and program a new BCM.
Open your hood and look for the fuse and relay center just above the battery. Open the cover and look for a fuse called IOD and/or Memory IOD. It usually located away from the front (towards the top of the block) in the center, they are labeled . Remove the IOD fuse for 20 seconds and then reinsert. The BCM becomes hung and this will reset it in a lot of cases. Let us know how it works out

Check all of your dash fuses inside the glove box if these are fine. Remove the door panel nd check to see that the wires have not come loose they tendto come loose from closing the rear door.

Check the ground wire from the engine to the firewall. It is a flat braided uncoated wire and should be easy to distinguish. Make sure that it is clean and tight.
