Possible bad fuse or relay

2019 Dodge Ram 1500 52500 miles
The overhead control for driver/passenger dome lights and the tailgate release are not working. I suspect all are due to bad fuse or relay, but I don’t know which one is bad. Anyone have a possible solution for me? Thanks

No Crank No Start

2006 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7l Hemi 230k miles 230000 miles
Truck recently overheated , was on highway at speed 75-80 when I saw needle on H...got off highway and parked...shut down engine...opened hood engine covered in coolant. Waited a bit and started truck. Put in reverse and truck moved 2-3 feet and stalled...now won't crank. Got power to dash everything works...was throwing code for ECT sensor so I replaced still no crank. Ordered starter relay waiting on USPS...must note that radiator has coolant and overflow bottle had a little as well... no blown hoses or heater lines that I can tell...so I think small hole in front of rad. And and blow back from speed coated engine... any ideas?

Since the original post... I replaced the starter relay and starter, ignition switch, and the ETC.. . And swapped the battery out for one from a running truck...after installing the starter the truck would start and run for 30 sec. It would do this for 3 times and then not crank. If I waited an hour or so and tried it would do the same thing...then the next day nothing...no crank no start. So being made of money...lol...I replaced the fuel pump yes I cut a hole in the bed...still nothing...so my final attempt will be to replace the PCM which will be here in a couple days

???????????!!!!!!!!!! does no one use this blog

But now I'm wondering if it could be a relay in the TIPM...

What a joke...'06 Ram 1500 relays (except starter relay) are built into the TIPM circuit board and are not serviceable...which means if one goes bad the whole TIPM must be replaced...$750-1200 depending on the vehicle...used is cheaper but can you trust it...Dodge sucks!
ref720 from United States a year ago
Thanks...I'll check ASD fuses...just in case...But in the '06 fuse box (TIPM) under the hood no fuses are marked ASD (Auto Shut Down)...and now the truck cranks and runs for about 15 seconds and shuts down...I'm replacing Cam and Crank position sensors today...see if that helps...got a buddy that thinks it's a clogged fuel filter...which of course is built into the fuel tank...(Dodge Sucks!)

Did you ever get your truck to crank and start running? What did you do to fix it?
ref720 from United States 5 months ago
Yes I did get it to start run drive...after all the bullshit advice and replacing sensors, the ignition switch, fuel pump and filter starter and solenoid and the ECM it still didnt start...Ready for this...I brought the old key out to lock/unlock the doors and thru it in the cup holder...I tried to start the truck and it fired right up...becuse the new key wasn't electronic the truck wouldnt start but by having the fob in it...that did the trick...I cable tied the key to the colum and now all is good!between being dumb and listening to bad advice I wasted money but learned a lesson!...lmao

Fuel pump running constant

2011 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 hemi 156000 miles
So I've had a few issues over the past couple months with my truck not s starting. At first I thought it was the battery due to cold weather bought a new battery the issue is still occurring. Since then I've heard the fuel pump running constant after the truck is shut off completely and key is out of switch. I've changed the fuel pump relay and it is still occurring. Any tips or tricks or has anyone else ran into this problem and found a solution? I'm really hoping it's not the fuse box it self like I'm reading in most forums.

How did you change the fuel pump relay? It should be integrated into the power module (fuse block). What you do is make sure the pcm wire to activate the relay isn't grounded from the pcm. If that is good yes the power module is the problem. Some people wire a relay into the system and bypass the module.

Blower fan comes on goes off stay off.

2016 Dodge Ram 1500 Dodge Ram Rebel 160000 miles
I change the blower fan. Now since it’s been cold. It stays on. Sometimes it goes off. I don’t know if it’s the relay or resistance. I don’t see where the fan’s resistance is.

Starts the does.

1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Truck/5.9L Magnum/2WD 321681 miles
My truck works very well but lately it will start up fine when cold but then will die out when it comes to operating temperature. I checked the ASD relay and changed it but it keeps dropping my fuel pump in and out and I get a NO BUS code. Idk if it’s the CKP sensor or the PCM itself but I need it fixed ASAP

Crank no start

2010 Dodge Ram 1500 1500 sport 5.7 litre 300000 miles
The mechanics said there were no faults after diagnosis. They did an oil change and it ran. Got it back home and it won’t start. It has 3/4 of a tank. Could it be a bad relay? Can it be bypassed?? Help!

Tail Lights, Plate Lights, and Gauge Cluster have went dark.

2001 Dodge Ram 1500 230000 miles
I was replacing my Plate Lights and forgot to turn them off after testing. Now all three have won't turn on. I assume it's a fuse blown or a relay but I haven't figured out which one.
