Thank you for this video. The dealership told me to match the wiring and cut one at a time and it was wrong, after seeing your video I looked at the plug and released the pins from the new plug and installed them the way you described and cleared the check engine light and it worked great .thank you so much. We need more men like you in this world.
0:23 I had problems with my fuel pressure sensor and after having it changed, I had more problems. I went and checked the electrical and discovered that the wiring was wrong. Rewired it based on your video and solved my problem. Thank you.
I know this video has been out for quite a while but it's still helping folks. THANKS for the helpful video and especially explaining the change in wire location! I would have taken forever to trouble shoot without the info in advance. I just finished replacing the sensor in my 2013 RAM 1500. It was a real PITA splicing the wires which we all know are back at the firewall. It's fun lying on top of the engine to work when your 60 and have a bad back. Truck running now with no codes indicated on display. Only thing I noticed is my initial high idle when the truck is first started is about 3-400 rpm higher than it was before. Only lasts a few seconds at 15-1600, then settles back to the usual 11-1200 rpm with cold engine. Not a big deal but I found it to be a bit odd. Has anyone else experienced something similar? I'm hoping it will resolve once the truck has been driven several times.
I was beating my head against my tool box trying to figure this out. Truck would start then shut off after replacing fuel sensor. I checked and rechecked and tripled checked the wiring making sure to match the same pin locations. The new kit included instructions to make sure to use twisted pair if your truck already has it but didn’t give the updated pin locations. Thank you for your service sir!
Thanks! Stopped the frustration our shop was feeling trying to figure out if the new sensor was bad or not ,no wiring instructions with it.Wire harnesses from Chrysler always were rewired in same config.as one being replaced...until now.You should get paid for this info! THanks!
Thanks a Million Times for this precious information. It almost seems the engineers wanted aftermarket techs to suffer many hours trying to figure this thing out on our own.
Thanks for info on the re-engineered sensor and plug. A dealer led me to believe they were shipping the original but I received the new one with wire kit. Like many, I would have assumed the wiring would orientate like the old. Thanks for doing the homework for the rest of us.
Just did this yesterday. Hardest part of the job is getting the damn tube to disconnect using the tool. Took me about 30 min but I finally got it released. Wiring the new plug was simple. Code cleared immediately on my 2013 Sport. 👍
🎉hey bro you saved me a 650 bill at the dealership with this video took me a min to understand the wires but ended up clearing to check engine light thanks alot brother
Thank you bro this work on a 2019 Cherokee . It has different color cable but I follow the position pattern. Numbered 1 2 3 and switched the dang cables.
I’ll be doing this as soon as I can get the damn sensor. 3 weeks minimum back ordered. Thanks for posting this man, it’s very helpful. Don’t know why dodge thought it would be a good idea to change the sensor like that but your video will definitely come in handy. Cheers
Men, thank you!!! Your video really save me from this one. How sneaky they are, changing the plug and the wiring. You buy the part, no instructions on how to install a completely different setup. Thank you again.
Very Helpful, would like to add the following: New design fuel sensor/line from MOPAR Pt# 68543905AA (for 3.6 eng) does not come with the new wire plug that is needed, you are on your own to find one, MOPAR was NOT helpful in finding one. NAPA Part# EC2219 is the new smaller plug you will need.
So before you do this. I just had to redo this job on another truck and was able to find an aftermarket option that’s been working for 2 months now. Here’s the sensor i used and was direct plug and play without having to do all this. amzn.to/3rDondp
@@MJAltairy Great. Thanks so much. I love my Ram. It's just been a nickel and dime truck in the last few months. But worth every nickel and dime. LOL. And this is the latest. Greatly appreciate you reaching out.
@@prdamerican667 it doesn’t just pull it out, there’s some like teeth/tabs in the way that needs to be pushed in and the fuel removal tool is where that will help
Hey man great video. I literally rewired this sensor with both sets of wires it came with and got another new sensor and finally narrowed it down to these fuckin wires must not be in the right spots... thanks for this video it was exactly the fix I needed. Great research and great job helping the auto community.
I just replaced my sensor with one for $33. Napa wanted $129 and I said hell no. 10 minute job and my code cleared right after I started the truck again.
Great video bud. It would have taken me a LOOOOONG time to figure this out. The other problem I have is I cant get any parts? I have an auto wrecker looking into this now.
Thanks again MJ. How long were you able to drive your truck? Did you use another vehicle in that month or did the truck continue working? I need to pick up a camper tomorrow.
I walk through which wire goes where at about the 3:30 mark. Maybe tell me the color of the wires on your old sensor and your new sensor and i can maybe guide you from there.
Is this new part you updated in the bio still running well? I bought the fuel pressure sensor from Oreilly’s and am getting the P018D now. I’m not sure I’ll be capable of wiring the new connector and just got quoted $890 to fix it.
@@MJAltairy Thanks, i was just looking around after asking and it looks like i should be able to get the connector from the dealer i bought the sensor from. Would have been nice if they had told me that i would need the updated connector. Thanks again for your video.
@@mikeramsey1308 yeah same thing happened to me! Called and ordered the sensor, picked it up 3 days later, got home and realized it was different. Called back again and had to wait another few days for the connector 🤦♂️.
So I had the P018C code. I replaced the sensor with the new one and am pretty sure I got the wires right. I did have to swap two pins and had a very difficult time getting the pins back in. It's as if the barb on the pins deformed a plastic tab inside the connector. I cleared the codes but now I have a confirmed P018B and permanent P018B, P018C, and P1DD2 codes. I haven't been able to find much about the P018B and P1DD2 codes. Do I have a defective sensor? Pins not in the right positions? Pins not making good connections? These only showed up on my first startup after replacing the sensor and wiring.
How old is your scanner? It’s possible that it’s actually decoding the code wrong and you probably have a P018D now. I would revisit the wiring/pins because it seems like they’re in the wrong pins now
@@MJAltairy I use OBDLink MX+ with the latest firmware. So I've found OBDLink doesn't clear permanent codes. I have to drive around and as long as the condition generating the code is fixed, it'll eventually clear. I drove around for a little while today and The P018C code cleared. I still have the P018B and P1DD2, neither of which can I find much about. But since I don't have the P018C or D, I assume my wiring is OK. My truck is the 2017 Ram 1500 crew cab, 5.7 l Hemi.
@@MJAltairyI checked, won't work. The original connector pins are a bit larger than the new ones. What they should do is make an adapter kit that's plug and play. But I guess they figure that's what they pay techs for. It's definitely in an awkward spot and they don't give a lot of wire to play with in the original harness. That to me was the worst part, trying to get the wires to stay in the crimp splice while I'm trying to squeeze the handles and then using a lighter to shrink the supplied tubing. Needless to say I saved the actual sensor removal and replacement for after I was finished with the wiring.
@@MJAltairy thank you I decided to wait to rewire the harness/pig tail until this weekend and now my low battery voltage light is on? Do you think these issues are related? Or do I also have a battery?
Thanks, so you don't use all the wire in the kit? I just picked mine up sensor was $80.58 the wires and only one clip and heat srink was $66.48 what a joke of a kit gezzzz thank again!
On a new pigtail the pins are swapped around...called to dealer to ask diagram but response was long wayting time on phone with no one on other side of phone..... If you have that diagram please send me...
You don’t get special information for being in the automotive engineering field. I work at a dealership and would charge you double lol. In all seriousness though you need to know a tech at the dealership. Also most manufacturers make us promise not to share proprietary information from their online systems. Doesn’t make sense because aftermarket obviously gets them for programs like Alldata.
Yeah no I hear ya. It wasn’t really special information, it’s just a simple wiring schematic for that harness which I was after. Something as simple as this is 5v, grnd and signal wire location. I actually worked as a diagnostic scantool engineer for Witech scantool development at one point with FCA and dealt with alot of service techs/writers in the field. And just from experience, I kinda know some of the resources they have access to but I get it and alot of times, they’re usually younger inexperienced individuals who answer the phones. Not throwing shade at the business, it’s more of a frustration with the few individuals whom I had conversations with when I called asking for help. I will say that one person in the parts department did everything he could to try and get me some answers though so props to that individual.
I tried dumbing this down as best as possible but that doc is appreciated. For those who are confused, pay attention to the K181, K914 and K859 numbers in the tables on pages 1 and 2 then follow the steps 7-9 on page 3 for the wiring schematic.
