2006 dodge cummins wont turn over but ETHOS shows key in start position when trying to start

Truck is a 2006 dodge mega cab. I removed my dash last night to fix my heater core, reinstalled main dash assembly and plugged in all harnesses. I went to start the truck and it started fine, shut it off and adjusted the brake switch and installed a few more panels. Went to start the truck and all accesories came on but engine would not turn over. We hooked the ETHOS up to it and it showed key in run position when it was in the run position and start when it was in the start position. I checked all the wires on the starter and they were fine, removed panels and checked all plugs and connections again and all were fine. I found the plug on the drivers side that goes to the starter and ran a wire from battery positive and touched it to the starter side of the wire and the truck started just fine. Im at a loss at this point. Where should i go from here.

I had a similar problem and believe it or not it was the CAT. An easy way to test for this is to remove the O2 sensor right in front of the CAT. Once you removed it, plug it back in while unscrewed from the exhaust pipe and start up the truck. If it runs fine, the CAT is your problem. This is just a guess and it would be an easy and very cheap($0) test. You did not say if the truck was diesel or gas. Mine is gas that was exhibiting the same problem as yours...good luck!

SOURCE: driver side park lamps not working

check fuse # 2 in the relay box up front and look for a "park lamp relay control" in the control module.

Check your crank sensor, it bolts to the block on right rear and goes down into the trans bellhousing . You might have got the wire pinched between the trans and the engine.

Do you have fuel? You might want to check the fuel pump fuse and see if it took a hit!

You could also spray a little starting fluid into the intake while cranking and see if it sputters.

Good luck and be careful.

Have 2006 dodge mega cab cummins diesel,code p0148 for fuel delivery comes on,replaced some parts no one can seem to solve this problem,truck has no power when needed,starting to look at the evap system...

Rad Ride, It is common that the dodge in fuel tank screen on the fuel pump, clogs with small particles from bad or contaminated diesel fuel, I have a 06 Mega same thing, if you are stock no mods I would turn the key to run but do not start it , listen for the pump running in the tank. You can look through the driver side rear wheel well and see the upper corner of the tank. I put a broom handle on it and one end to my ear makes for easy check. If no sound check the fuse, but changes the screen if you hear the pump running. If so, run as much fuel out of the truck with out running it dry and then you have to drop the tank and remove the fuel sending unit and pump with screen. You may get lucky and just clean the screen and if not the pump as a kit. I have a few mods so I went with the Airdog system which takes the pump out of the tank and adds better filters and air reductions. Hope for the best, Good Luck,

2006 dodge mega cab 4x4 cummins w/6sp started fine this morning and now it will not start about 2 years ago the same thing happened and had to reprogram something, it had something to do with the starter...

Your truck needs to be hooked up to a scan tool so the common rail fuel pressure can be checked.
Have you checked to see if your fuel lift punp is operating to transfer fuel from your tank to the high pressure CP3 fuel pump?
Could possibly be the FCA (fuel control actuator) located on the back of the CP3 pump. It controls the fuel pressure in the high pressure fuel system.

Bad Injectors are also a known cause for no start on these trucks.

WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do not unhook any fuel injection lines from the CP3 or Fuel rail or Injector cross over tubes while cranking or running as this fuel pressure varie from 4000 psi to 23000 psi when running.

My AC in the truck will not blow at all. The compressor kicks on but there is no airflow. Just started this morning its an 06 cummins

Your fan stopped working . It is located under the dash on the passenger side. There will probably be access to it w/o takling anything but the bottom cover off. Your problem will most likely be the resistor. Which I believe will be located on the top of the fan casing.
