2003 dodge ram, wont start, red flashing light on dash?
My 2003 dodge diesel truck would loose all power while driving. I did have bad ground battery cables, thought it might be that changed them. Still did it. If my truck sat in the winter to long the batteries would go bad. Change them. Nothing. Changed to switch in the column still nothing. Next to the fuse box under the hood is a little positive terminal cap (it feeds power to the fuse box) I removed it to expose the screw. Then I followed the wire , it went straight to the positive battery cable terminal (it's molded into the terminal) I took a volt reading from the negative terminal to the positive bolt under the cap by the fuse box and took a reading (8 volts should be 12+) I took a jumper wire from the positive terminal of battery to the bolt under the cap and pow lights. I also noticed that the positive terminal would get hot before where the wire is molded into the lead must have a bad connection So I temporarily drove a screw right where the wire goes into the lead and problem temperately (probably just leave it) fixed. I'm so happy I hope this helps someone it took me a long time to fix this.
5.9l. When shifted into reverse, why is it backfiring and cutting off?
Faulty ignition components or spark plugs may also cause backfires if the ignition timing drifts off or the plugs fire intermittently. An exhaust leak such as broken welds or other small holes can take in cool air during deceleration and cause a popping or backfiring in the exhaust system.
1999 dodge ram 5.9 1500 if the pcm is shorted would the fuel pump still come on ?
It's possible. Look in the under hood fuse block and find the Auto Shut-Down relay and feel to see if it clicks when someone turns the switch on and off if it does you need to have it checked with a scanner to see where the problem is.
If the scanner says no power or no communication just check the power wire on the computer and if there's power junk the ECM. I hope this helps. Take Care.
