03 Ram 1500 E-Brake light flashing
its possible the switch on the e/brake unit broke, take a flashlight and locate a single/double wire that goes to the e/brake assembly (this is the piece you depress with your left foot) and look to see if the wire is broken or the switch the wire goes to is broken.
2012 Dodge Ram 1500 Overheating.
so only the gauge tells you that. and not other real symptoms of
overhreating
coolant on the ground
lost engine power
engine pings hard, for sure under load.
scan PCM DTC set for ovehreating or ECT or Thermostat errors
PCM scan shows ECT live data ,200F, not must above.
at 6am, or daybreak, not used, cold engine, rad Cap off (new one is best cap) and RAD is full up to the top.??????????
50% AFR coolant check that is 50% with the cheap tool.>?
see oil floating in rad cap off hole or carbon dust>?
dip stick pulled on engine and oil looks like chocolate milk (panic)
compression good and spec, on all cylinders. (a test)
10 year old thermostats and rad caps are a bad idea.
does it overheat moving fast for sure 50mph, ???????
or only parked, at red light and all fans dead. oops.
the AC also has a fan upfront and must not be dead.
all fans must work. for sure at red lights.
moving the car fast , it must not overheat.
is the RAD side bottle a wreck. it must be working no bad tubes
I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7 & its in limp mode, will not start pulls code p0562 & PO700/ low voltage and transmission control module anybody tell me what's wrong
The P0700 code indicates there's a mechanical problem with your transmission that needs to be repaired, and the computer has stored relevant trouble codes in the transmission control module. You'll need a scanner that can read transmission trouble codes, to see exactly which codes are stored.The P0562 indicates the ECM detects a battery voltage less than a specific value. I notice you charged the battery, but it could be something else going wrong in the charging system and causing the code. Here's how to troubleshoot the P0562:1. Visually inspect the positive and negative connections at the batteries and inspect the battery negative connections at the engine block. Are the connections free of corrosion and are they tight? If not, repair the poor connection.2. Check the add-on or accessory wiring at the positive (+) terminal of the battery. Are there any damaged wires at the battery? If so, repair the accessory wiring.3. Perform a battery load test using a battery system tester that can place a load on the battery. Did the battery(s) pass the test? If not, repair the weak battery(s).4. Test the ECM connection:Turn the ignition off.Disconnect the ECM harness connectors.Disconnect the battery terminals.Measure the resistance from the positive and negative battery posts to the appropriate circuits in the ECM harness connector. Is the resistance less than 10 Ohms? If not, repair the high resistance in the wiring harness.5. Reconnect the battery terminals.-Measure and record the voltage between battery positive pins of the ECM connector and the battery negative circuits of the ECM harness connector, then reconnect the ECM harness connectors.-Next, measure and record battery voltage.Are the readings within 3 volts of each other? If they are, you have intermittent power issues that will need further diagnosis. If they aren't within 3 volts of each other, your ECM may need replacing.
2001 Dodge ram 1500 4x4 vacuum lines coming off passenger side of plenum . Main vacuum off plenum gos to(check valve or one way valve) then comes to a Ywhere does that line go.
Are you getting a P0171 code too or is it just the P0174? Since you're getting a lean code, if it's not accompanied with a P0171, your MAF sensor may be just fine, especially since you've cleaned it.Has the fuel filter been changed lately and have you checked fuel pressure to make sure it's within spec? That would be the next thing I'd look at, since low fuel pressure will cause lean conditions.Is fuel pressure good at idle, under load and is holding after turning off the engine? Another thing to consider...a weak fuel pump can work just fine at idle and low speeds but not pump sufficient fuel volume at higher speeds, causing a lean condition. I'd move onto checking vacuum lines and intake for leaks if the fuel pump checks out good, then onto testing the 02 sensor at closed loop.
I have no dash lights or tail lights in my 98 Dodge Ram 1500. What can I do
This is a common complaint with the '98 Dodge Ram 1500.I'd start with checking the fuses for the dash lights and tail lights, first. If those check out as okay, I'd recommend disconnecting the tail lights and reconnecting them, in case a connection issue caused the problem (dirt, debris, corrosion, etc). It might not be practical to try and test the dash lights, so start with the tail lights and see what happens, if needed.If the tail light still doesn't function and the bulbs are actually good, it's possible your vehicle has a power/ground wiring issue or a faulty BCM (Body Control Module), which has been the case for many others. A bad BCM can cause various electrical problems with lighting etc in a vehicle, since it controls those functions.
