Ok thank you so much! I’ve been dealing with my truck running extremely rich and running almost in limp mode! You just saved me so much stress and money man!
On my 2002 I unhooked the battery cable and that was the end of the check engine light for almost a week. So your truck started even hooking the coil wire that you unhooked in the beginning? Wow that is magic.
I just had my motor replaced last week in my 2010 Dodge ram 1500 5.7 Hemi , So many problems after i replaced it, i kept getting misfire codes and running very rough .... i put allot on new parts trying to fix the problem & Nobody can tell me what the problem was ... so i just came across your video and tried the reset & I just took it for a drive ... O.M.G its running like a new engine... so i dont know if it just needed to be reset this whole time or what .. but Thanks for posting this video i'm hoping it stays running good.
Thanks for the video. I had a P1281 error on my 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L and replaced the thermostat and thought the check engine light would reset.automatically, it didn't. I followed your procedure to clear the check engine light which worked. Afterwards, drove my truck 25 miles and so far so good. Maybe it will pass state inspection in the next few days assuming the light doesn't return... Thanks again.
GC0311 Ya, no problem. If you go for a smog test you do have to drive at east 50 miles so the test locations equipment can operate correctly and you will pass it all the time and only if you don't have bad sensors. Some people try to trick them just by disconnecting the battery and it does not work that way anymore.
Thank you all so much for the comments. I am always trying to find quick and easy and cheap ways for the owners to do quick and safe repairs to their prized possession's. We all know that the dealerships want your arm and leg just even for diagnostics. Imagine the repair cost and parts. I did learn, don't buy the cheapest parts. Buy rebuilt, or old stock parts if you can. On many of my personal vehicle's I bypass parts and emissions equipment that I don't encourage. I live in a county that don't regulate emissions. Emissions rob you of power and mileage. Vehicle manufactures have all this programed in the ecu's and pcm's and I am trying to work my magic. I spread the knowledge and if anyone has tips and tricks please share with the world. Power to us all.....
You are right on point with everything. Some people think when you rig something or in other words modify something they Criticise. But what they don't understand is the making it work better there might be some reasons they do it this way but will not benefit us what you gain and im all for more power and efficiency. And obviously you can gain some more fuel efficiency when you have more power but when you have a heavy foot it's going to burn through alot more gas but that's. I really don't like NY with everything going on and the emissions on cars. They are becoming more like California. Feels like no freedom like jail.
@@transam8607 Yes. I understand what you mean about emissions. I had a older BMW and I removed every emissions control on it. People said it couldn't be done but I made it work. I actually gained 70 horse power and it was way better on gas mileage. Sad thing is these newer cars are programed to work with each emissions part so if one fails the ecm or ecu will pick it up and try to adjust until the problem has been fixed. Its like the security system with ford. They have it set up to the instrument cluster and the ignition system. So if there is a problem there then you have to take it in either way because they have to reprogram the cluster and ecm and the keys. Not cheap. Only way is to completely bypass everything and that is to get a stand alone ignition system. They have kits but they are not cheap.
Dumping your battery reset the codes.....the odometer hold and switch on is just a dash test common on several years........the odometer hold did not clear codes and was not required........try it again then do the key cycle before you disconnect battery, it’ll still read codes stored even after dash test........but thanks anyway
thanks thst was very helpful. my moyherd boyfrirnd he is 83 hates vehicles computers. hr ess gonna scrsp his van. from your advice got it going going double check now appreciate your vid
Add blinker fluid and greae your muffler bearings it will be fixed properly and check engine light will go out and the problem will be solved and your truck will be safe. If your just wanting to reset the check engine light take mini slege hammer smack pcm then dump gas i prefer 93 octane but 87 works fine. Dump about 5 gallons all over engine compartment inside cab throw a lite match either in the compartment or cab and run like hell problem solved. Before attempting this method get full coverage insurance month prior. Few easy steps. 1. Full coverage 2. Get police report vandalism. 3. Get new truck 4. Hide all evidence. 5. Stick to story. Another method is the pushing it off cliff method also works well. This is what i call DIY on both these methods. Dont need nervous friend to screw this fix up for you.
Tried that on my 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 Diesel truck 5.9 Cummins 4WD quad cab long bed duelly and it did not reset the light. Yes, it moved the gauges and lit the lights. Yeah, I tried it twice, following all instruction.. Engine Light later on went off on its own after 5 start- stops and driving around. Light had come on after I started engine with the ambient air temp sensor on the cold air intake disconnected, I forgot to reattach. But it was a good idea to clean the negative battery terminals. I knocked the corroded bolts out of the terminal and cleaned them, greased with marine grease and reassembled.
I have the same truck,color and all,and it's an ;02,BUT hey,Thanx a ton for showing me this trick.If you just disconnect the battery on any computer car it will turn the light out,but come back on if you don't fix it right.
yes, the light will come back on. Just find the code on the panel and look it up on the net or shop book, fix the sensor and your done. Almost all cars that are computer controlled have secret ways of resetting the computer. Be careful on some cars because when you reset a comp you will have to take it to the shop for reflashing the program. We don't have that problem on our trucks. We have the self learn computers. Fix your problem and have fun:O)..........
@ jace larouche its an 02 because the 01 dash is different I have a 02 and his dash is exactly like mine ,I just changed all 3 computers in my truck chasing a power shortage that was caused by the yellow wire from the ken wood stereo installed touched the black negative wire some how the crimp on the yellow fell off and fried one of the control units I didn know single handed witch one it was after all the you tube researching and Google forums I read this guy here was the one guy on the planet that solved my problem I was having with check engine light and it never came back on its a couple few weeks and it's running great with a new rebuilt boarded out motor...thanks litleElmo .
anything to help people free of charge:O)...LOL..Ya, I was working on my dads truck the same day and his a 2001, mine is the 02. So, ya, my boo boo:O)...
+litleElmo first hello I have a dodge ram1500 and my antitheft lights on and it stop getting fuel to fuel pump what can I try without spending outrageous money
Thank you for the clear instructions how to do it I've seen something like this before but the other person didn't mention anything about disconnecting the battery and turning on the headlight that's y it didn't work for me I'll try it tomorrow thank's again.
@Syx it did for me but I tried it on the 05 grand cherokee v6 and it didn't work for some reason but I also tried it on an 05 v8 hemi grand cherokee and worked
@Syx dam that's alot of things you replaced not a bad thing but did the old computer work better or at all. Because in my case I now have 01 Durango 5.9 r/t and I have a misfire on cylinder 1 slightly and an almost cylinder 2 constantly i even rebuild the motor and it didn't go away checked all conections and grounds good and I replaced the computer with a remanufactred one which they told me that was the wrong one in my truck so they soposebly send me the right one and after I installed it my truck was running smooth but I couldn't erase the check engine light the code was something about the o2 sensor's and my truck also suffered a really good amount of power loss. So maybe you might just have 2 bad computers but if i wore you like changed just about everything keep looking and send back there computer so maybe they can send you back a good one if you agree by some chance they sent you a bad one like they did to me and the worst part in my case i want with one of the most respectful companies in the northeast. People i know used them with very happy results but not me I waited for almost 4 months to get it and at the end it didn't work properly so I got to send it back and the company name in FLAG SHIP ONE i know that they probably send me the wrong computer
Just bought a 2000 Dodge Sport Ram 1500. Check engine light is on and the truck will die while driving it. Try to restart it and the fuel pin will not come up on a full tank of fuel and the engine will turn over but not start. Tried the code read thing with the switch and shows P DONE. Took it to the shop and they replaced the dist. Still doing the same. No warning when it dies it just goes. The prior owner ran a wire from the frame down to the fuel tank that has come loose. Makes me think of a ground problem. Any suggestions ?
I own a 2002 Dodge Ram Van 1500 that won’t pass inspection bc the airbag light won’t come on. Everything else on the van checks out. The shop I take it to for the inspection recommended replacing the cluster which seems a bit extreme for an airbag light. I’ve checked the fuses and that doesn’t appear to be ok. Pls advise.
How’s it going brotha,.. great video man,.. will this help with the idle relearn process ? I switched out the throttle body and it’s still gives me the relearn indication with lighting bolt and blinking engine light before I start the truck. I did disconnect the negative for 90sec and reconnected then turn turned the key and waited 20sec before turning the truck on.
Thank you ! thank you ! thank you ! Way cool tip this worked on my Dodge ram it's been driving me crazy for months. Thank you very much. Have a Drink on Me. Cya Dale
Hi! I like the video, I also have a 2002 Dodge ram 1500 and I needed to reset the engine light. I found an easier way to reset the little orange engine light. I found this on one of the online forums. Start your truck, drive forward about 15 feet, then back up to where you started, then shut the truck off. Do this a total of three times, and when you turn the truck on the fourth time the engine light will be off! :-)
Jen S. This don't work on resetting the codes. This procedure that you are talking about is to free a stuck valve in the automatic transmission which is giving the engine light code. When the stuck valve sticks, it gives off the code. If you have other codes that don't do nothing with the transmission such as 02 sensors, knock sensors, engine sensors, etc... this procedure just won"t work. Thanks for the input though. I did hear about this but never tried it. I got my source from a friend that works at Dodge and I have a friend that works at Ford so I am continuing to find new ways to help people find a cost effective way other than dealer pricing. Thanks again for the input...Keep learning and please do share......
+litleElmo does your temperature gauge take a minute to kick in cause when I cut my truck on the needle will just stick on the cold side for a good 10 minutes
+Evan Dotson no. it should warm up normally. slowly going up. Maybe you have a problem with your thermostat or heater core. My core was plugged up. Buy a failsafe thermostat. It will save you big time...
ya, its always best to replace them annually. I always do early maintenance. I never go by what the dealership says. I always do everything yearly or by mileage. 5000 miles = 3000 miles on my chart. Change fluids every 3 years = every year on my chart etc... Have fun truckin...........
Hi,We have just found disconnected one of the wires to coil pack, so we connect it and our engine indicator is on how to reset it? DODGE RAM 2015 1500 5.7HEMI . Thanks
If you have a problem with the 4x4 light then it should be a switch problem. Resetting the computer will not solve this issue. Adjust switch as necessary or replace.
My battery died. So I charged it back and it started right away. But when I come to a stop sign it stops and I have to restart. I was told it has to do with taking the negative cable off the battery first, when I should have taken the POSITIVE cable off the battery charger first.
Hi everyone. Always check the codes and if you can fix the problem that is triggering the code and erase the code from the ecm with what I have on my video. Check wires and connectors going to the part that is giving off codes. It could be that simple. Thanks.
My dodge caravan2002 runs windshield wipers work air conitioner locked but turn lights on everything stops working and he van wants to roll to a stop motor keeps run it the park Steve reverse get a square around the d any idea what to do please help
Sounds to me like you have a fuel pump problem or a relay problem. Do you have a video of what the van is doing? If so, let me see it and I will tell you whats wrong with it.
The P0601 is a PCM " Power Control Module" problem. I had that issue before on my truck and lucky for me it was a loose wire harness. Check your wire harness in the engine compartment. There should be 2 grey computer boxes with wires coming out from them. Move the wires around and pull and push back in the connectors that are on the wires. Try to erase the codes after you do this. Does the transmission make noise when you try to put it in drive? If it sounds like a rapid clicking noise then the problem is in the transmission which should be the pressure solenoid. It is electronic and they do wear out after a while. Let me know what happens ok.
I'm also having issues with a 2002 Ram alarm system. The mechanic can't figure out why the alarm is going off. I've never had a key fob (it was purchased new), and according to the VIN it didn't come with a factory alarm. Yet somehow an alarm is going off. Would doing this help? Any other thoughts?
Look for a hidden valet switch. If it's a add on security system. Tell me in detail what caused your problem, recent work done, what was replaced and what was disconnected.
Go to your fuse relay box by the battery.Pull fuse #51 for 2 minutes and reinstall it after that the security system should be reset. Let me know if it works ok.
Mine 2002 doesn’t give any light on dashboard 😞 completely dead. Don’t know why. I disconnected the battery and put it back and tried to start the truck and just gave a sound and everything shut off nothing on dashboard 😞
I have a 2007 RAM 1500 Hemi 5.7, this trick worked to turn off the check engine light but it did not have any code showing why the engine light was on it just showed - - - - - then said done and after running the engine about 5 minutes the check engine light came back on. I have been told that the check engine light on this pickup is on because the oil pressure sensor is bad. My oil pressure gauge shows high pressure all the time.Can you or anyone tell me how high the oil pressure should read on the 2007 5.7 Hemi?Also why does the check engine light come on and no codes show up on doing this procedure?
@@aaronabt4279 Thanks for the reply. I just replaced my oil pressure sensor. The old unit was leaking a small amount of oil. The oil pressure gauge still goes up to the high side and always stays in the same spot so I don't know if it is working correctly or not. If the gauge should be changing while at idle and higher RPM's then it is still not working.
My transmission was slipping due to a computer malfunction. I tried resetting the system by disconnecting the battery. No go. Your technique did the trick. Awesome. Thanks. Note: On a 2004 Durango you have to hold the trip button down until the binging sounds stop. Let it go when the sound stops and the gauges start dancing. I did the lights on thing but the radio is still programmed not sure how that's happening.
Always happy to help. Thanks for your info you added. Every little bit helps everyone that needs help so pat yourself on the back for assisting people fix their future automobile problems. On automatic transmissions there are electric solenoids that control shifting and gearing. Once in a while they get stuck and do trip a computer code. When this happens it means that solenoid is about to fail. They are not difficult to replace. Some have one and some have 2 depending on type of transmission. The radio on your 04 is still programmed because there is a back up battery. Internal installed. If you leave your battery disconnected for about a week or so then the radio will lose its memory.
If its not the same procedure as on this 02 Dodge Ram then try the 5 times on the ignition switch. I use to do that procedure on a 1999 Dodge Ram with the 5.9 engine. Let me know if that helps.
yea I leave it in the on position but not cranking it nothing comes up just shows mileage maybe no code? just have to reset cel? it's weird because before it has thrown 300 code on scanner but I had mine stolen
I've been trying to figure out a problem with my 2004 Ram 1500 for the last couple of months. It died on me one evening and was running perfectly up to that point. It just quit running. I had figured that it was a wiring problem since I have had that before thanks to the damn soy-based "green" insulation that the idiots at Dodge put on their wiring. Turns out that squirrels and other rodents like soy... No big surprise there, right? I have other vehicles, so I have not been as motivated to fix it as I probably should have. Well, today the weather was a bit better and I decided to take the pressure washer to the truck, clean it up (including the engine compartment) and see if I can find any wires that had been chewed. Pretty much destroyed all the firewall heat / sound shielding in the process, so maybe that wasn't that good of an idea. :) When I tried to start it, it would start for a couple of seconds and then die. I tried spraying some starter fluid in the air intake, but same result. Not having anyone to spray while I cranked kind of prevented me from seeing if it would just run on starter fluid. If it did, then I would have started looking at the wiring to the fuel pump. At some point, I decided to see if pumping the gas might make a difference and surprisingly, it would continue to run as long as I gave it a bit of gas. If I took my foot off the accelerator pedal though, the RPMs would drop down below 500 RPMs and soon die. So, I saw this video while searching for reasons why this vehicle would run, but not idle. I figured I would give it a try to see if this would show some sort of error code. It would not show an error code, but even more surprisingly, the truck started working correctly (i.e. it now idles). I had already had the battery disconnected for weeks, so that doesn't appear to reset anything. I'm not sure why it is now working, but I'm glad that it is. Of course, not knowing the cause of a problem kind of makes me not trust it anymore. I only have around 87K miles on it, so it's pretty low mileage for the year it was built.
Just did this on my 2004 Ram 1500 after replacing the O2 sensor. skipped disconnecting the battery, worked great thanks much appreciated!
Holy COW, you will never know how appreciative I am that you made this video. Thank you soooo much!!!
The video made me nauseous, but it helped me out and worked like a charm. Thanks.
This is awesome!!! Works on an '05 Dodge Ram Hemi. Thank you!!!
Ok thank you so much! I’ve been dealing with my truck running extremely rich and running almost in limp mode! You just saved me so much stress and money man!
Happy to help
The only thing is if there's an issue, it's gonna keep throwing codes. Eventually it's not going to just clear it for good.
Thank you! This worked on my 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT after the second attempt.
Josh Hdz I was wondering abt that.....I have an 06 as well....thanks
On my 2002 I unhooked the battery cable and that was the end of the check engine light for almost a week.
So your truck started even hooking the coil wire that you unhooked in the beginning? Wow that is magic.
Cool ! Great video, thanks for posting. Nice battery by the way!😊

Please answer me
you can just touch the positive and neg to off the battery together and it will discharge it was well
Will this work on 2009 6.7 cummins?
My '13 Ram trip meter is electronic and located in the steering wheel buttons.
awesome video. however wouldnt just unplugging the battery would have reset ur ecu already?
Cool
no
Yes it will
No it won’t
Thank you so much
Hi! I like the video, I also have a 2002 Dodge ram 1500 and I needed to reset the engine light. I found an easier way to reset the little orange engine light. I found this on one of the online forums. Start your truck, drive forward about 15 feet, then back up to where you started, then shut the truck off. Do this a total of three times, and when you turn the truck on the fourth time the engine light will be off! :-)
Jen S. This don't work on resetting the codes. This procedure that you are talking about is to free a stuck valve in the automatic transmission which is giving the engine light code. When the stuck valve sticks, it gives off the code. If you have other codes that don't do nothing with the transmission such as 02 sensors, knock sensors, engine sensors, etc... this procedure just won"t work. Thanks for the input though. I did hear about this but never tried it. I got my source from a friend that works at Dodge and I have a friend that works at Ford so I am continuing to find new ways to help people find a cost effective way other than dealer pricing. Thanks again for the input...Keep learning and please do share......
+litleElmo does your temperature gauge take a minute to kick in cause when I cut my truck on the needle will just stick on the cold side for a good 10 minutes
+Evan Dotson no. it should warm up normally. slowly going up. Maybe you have a problem with your thermostat or heater core. My core was plugged up. Buy a failsafe thermostat. It will save you big time...
+litleElmo sweet thanks might as well buy a new thermostat couldn't hurt
ya, its always best to replace them annually. I always do early maintenance. I never go by what the dealership says. I always do everything yearly or by mileage. 5000 miles = 3000 miles on my chart. Change fluids every 3 years = every year on my chart etc... Have fun truckin...........
Would this work on an 05 1500 3.7 V6?
Thank you brother.
Very helpful!!
Happy it helped you.
Hi,We have just found disconnected one of the wires to coil pack, so we connect it and our engine indicator is on how to reset it? DODGE RAM 2015 1500 5.7HEMI . Thanks
Should be the same procedure. Check to see if you can retrieve the codes using the key trick.
Thank you it worked great
your welcome. Happy to hear it helped. Just remember, if sensors are bad, just replace them. I had a vid on getting the codes.
so good
All you have to do to reset. It is unhook the battery you don't have to do all that other stuff. Just to see the codes unless you want to.
Thank you
hello friend how can i reset the ecu of a ram 1500 standard year 99??
Does this reset the radio as well?
How do I turn off the light airbag..??
hi do you have a video on resetting the sevr 4x4 light
If you have a problem with the 4x4 light then it should be a switch problem. Resetting the computer will not solve this issue. Adjust switch as necessary or replace.
Can this only be done with a 2001 ?
Como le puedo hacer esto a mi ram charger modelo 92 amigo me gustaria saver. .gracias
Any help for 2nd gen ?
Will thia work on a 2005 Dodge Durango?
Disconnect battery cable touch them together for a minute or to resets the lights
Buy yourself a $40 code scanner, find the code and fix your truck
thanks doesn´t work on my 2005 5.7 hemi and shows on display hr 4919 code ... some help me whats means this code ?
What Engine does it have
Isn't that just a self-diagnostic for the gauges?
My battery died. So I charged it back and it started right away.
But when I come to a stop sign it stops and I have to restart.
I was told it has to do with taking the negative cable off the battery first, when I should have taken the POSITIVE cable off the battery charger first.
Alternator probably bad
thank you
thanks :)
Always happy to help :O)...
I cant get my code because that doesnt light up anymore. Cant even see mileage. All other lights work.
Hows this an 01? Shouldn't it be an 02 up?
03 and up lol
It's not even 02 and up it's a 3rd gen
1500 3rd gen started in 02
Hi everyone. Always check the codes and if you can fix the problem that is triggering the code and erase the code from the ecm with what I have on my video. Check wires and connectors going to the part that is giving off codes. It could be that simple. Thanks.
My dodge caravan2002 runs windshield wipers work air conitioner locked but turn lights on everything stops working and he van wants to roll to a stop motor keeps run it the park Steve reverse get a square around the d any idea what to do please help
Sounds to me like you have a fuel pump problem or a relay problem. Do you have a video of what the van is doing? If so, let me see it and I will tell you whats wrong with it.
A video on how 2 read schematics guy next!!??
There are dodge truck forums that have wiring diagrams and they can help you there.
I just had my 2002 dodge grand caravan checked the code was p0601 can you tell me what the problem is?
The P0601 is a PCM " Power Control Module" problem. I had that issue before on my truck and lucky for me it was a loose wire harness. Check your wire harness in the engine compartment. There should be 2 grey computer boxes with wires coming out from them. Move the wires around and pull and push back in the connectors that are on the wires. Try to erase the codes after you do this. Does the transmission make noise when you try to put it in drive? If it sounds like a rapid clicking noise then the problem is in the transmission which should be the pressure solenoid. It is electronic and they do wear out after a while. Let me know what happens ok.
I'm also having issues with a 2002 Ram alarm system. The mechanic can't figure out why the alarm is going off. I've never had a key fob (it was purchased new), and according to the VIN it didn't come with a factory alarm. Yet somehow an alarm is going off. Would doing this help? Any other thoughts?
Look for a hidden valet switch. If it's a add on security system. Tell me in detail what caused your problem, recent work done, what was replaced and what was disconnected.
litleElmo having problem with body cpu and main cpu not recognizing each other and setting off alarm on 2002 ram please help
Except my 2004 Ram 1500 hemi won't throw the codes only resets as showed
great video do you know how to reset factory alarm I shut it off and I can't turn on back
Thanks
You will most likely have to re-program the key fobs. How did you shut off the alarm?
3 times turn it key to the right
that should have nothing to do with the alarm. Whats the make and model and year of your car or truck?
dodge pickup 2500 2004
Go to your fuse relay box by the battery.Pull fuse #51 for 2 minutes and reinstall it after that the security system should be reset. Let me know if it works ok.
I changed my throttle body and now my trick won't stay running and my oil pressure is showing none. Anyone have a fix?
Mine 2002 doesn’t give any light on dashboard 😞 completely dead. Don’t know why. I disconnected the battery and put it back and tried to start the truck and just gave a sound and everything shut off nothing on dashboard 😞
Dead battery
OMG dude are you ok... I think you must of been having a seizure while you were filming this
keep practicing
I have a 2007 RAM 1500 Hemi 5.7, this trick worked to turn off the check engine light but it did not have any code showing why the engine light was on it just showed - - - - - then said done and after running the engine about 5 minutes the check engine light came back on. I have been told that the check engine light on this pickup is on because the oil pressure sensor is bad. My oil pressure gauge shows high pressure all the time.Can you or anyone tell me how high the oil pressure should read on the 2007 5.7 Hemi?Also why does the check engine light come on and no codes show up on doing this procedure?
Did u figure outt tHe problem with yours
Just below half at idle, just over half at high rpms on oil pressure
@@aaronabt4279 Thanks for the reply. I just replaced my oil pressure sensor. The old unit was leaking a small amount of oil. The oil pressure gauge still goes up to the high side and always stays in the same spot so I don't know if it is working correctly or not. If the gauge should be changing while at idle and higher RPM's then it is still not working.
Just disconnect the battery in the first place....wait 2 minutes reconnect and vuala! Gone🙉💪🤘🍻
My transmission was slipping due to a computer malfunction. I tried resetting the system by disconnecting the battery. No go. Your technique did the trick. Awesome. Thanks.
Note: On a 2004 Durango you have to hold the trip button down until the binging sounds stop. Let it go when the sound stops and the gauges start dancing. I did the lights on thing but the radio is still programmed not sure how that's happening.
Always happy to help. Thanks for your info you added. Every little bit helps everyone that needs help so pat yourself on the back for assisting people fix their future automobile problems. On automatic transmissions there are electric solenoids that control shifting and gearing. Once in a while they get stuck and do trip a computer code. When this happens it means that solenoid is about to fail. They are not difficult to replace. Some have one and some have 2 depending on type of transmission. The radio on your 04 is still programmed because there is a back up battery. Internal installed. If you leave your battery disconnected for about a week or so then the radio will lose its memory.
will this work on an 04 5.7 I've tried to get codes but won't show up I have CEL. it will reset but not give me code.
If its not the same procedure as on this 02 Dodge Ram then try the 5 times on the ignition switch. I use to do that procedure on a 1999 Dodge Ram with the 5.9 engine. Let me know if that helps.
litleElmo I tried that also but no luck
Are you leaving the key in the run position on the 3rd time? Don't crank the engine, just go to the run position on the switch.
Let me know what it says on the odometer when you leave the key in the on position.
yea I leave it in the on position but not cranking it nothing comes up just shows mileage maybe no code? just have to reset cel? it's weird because before it has thrown 300 code on scanner but I had mine stolen
I've been trying to figure out a problem with my 2004 Ram 1500 for the last couple of months. It died on me one evening and was running perfectly up to that point. It just quit running. I had figured that it was a wiring problem since I have had that before thanks to the damn soy-based "green" insulation that the idiots at Dodge put on their wiring. Turns out that squirrels and other rodents like soy... No big surprise there, right? I have other vehicles, so I have not been as motivated to fix it as I probably should have. Well, today the weather was a bit better and I decided to take the pressure washer to the truck, clean it up (including the engine compartment) and see if I can find any wires that had been chewed. Pretty much destroyed all the firewall heat / sound shielding in the process, so maybe that wasn't that good of an idea. :)
When I tried to start it, it would start for a couple of seconds and then die. I tried spraying some starter fluid in the air intake, but same result. Not having anyone to spray while I cranked kind of prevented me from seeing if it would just run on starter fluid. If it did, then I would have started looking at the wiring to the fuel pump. At some point, I decided to see if pumping the gas might make a difference and surprisingly, it would continue to run as long as I gave it a bit of gas. If I took my foot off the accelerator pedal though, the RPMs would drop down below 500 RPMs and soon die.
So, I saw this video while searching for reasons why this vehicle would run, but not idle. I figured I would give it a try to see if this would show some sort of error code. It would not show an error code, but even more surprisingly, the truck started working correctly (i.e. it now idles). I had already had the battery disconnected for weeks, so that doesn't appear to reset anything. I'm not sure why it is now working, but I'm glad that it is. Of course, not knowing the cause of a problem kind of makes me not trust it anymore. I only have around 87K miles on it, so it's pretty low mileage for the year it was built.
Does this work on a 2008 Dodge Ram ?
What a 2016 ram
What about the engine light on the rooster
Ron Washburn lol
worked first try
Happy to help
