Hello new to forum. Have some issues that I'm not sure what's going on with this truck. Ok my brother-in law got this truck 4 months ago and is now having some issues. Quick run down battery blew up 2 weeks ago and installed a new one. Yesterday it just shut off on hwy and came back on. Did it again today. Now the service 4wd light is on, traction control, and ESP BAS light is on. Not sure what the crap is going on with this. I'm a diesel guy not gas and not very familiar with these hemi engines and electronics. Anybody have any info for me? Maybe you guys have had this issue. Please help asap. 2010 dodge hemi 4wd. I posted this in another area. So sry for the duplicate. Also the brake lights are stuck on and cruise control doesn't work.

Have you or anyone had the sterringwheel off lately ?

Sounds like the clockspring behind the sterringwheel is off track ?

Have you or anyone had any recent recalls done that required removal of the sterringwheel airbag ?
Strange ...?

You say the battery "blew up"? If so, it may have sent a surge through the main harness and did damage to the body control module or even the powertrain control module.

So "battery blew up" truck shut off on highway and came back on .
Now 4wd light , traction control ,ESP, BAS lights on & the brake lights stuck on , and cruise control doesn't work .

It's a 2010 5.7L hemi 4wd ( 1500 I presume ?)

Sounds to me like a dealership visit is in your brother in laws near future ...

Imo
#1 BCM "Body Control Module " issue .

#2 Clockspring issue.

#3 a PDC " Power Distribution Center " aka fuse box , issue .

Subscribed. .

Good luck to you sir , looking fwd to you posting the fix to this issue .
Wish I could help! !

Yea. Steering wheel hasn't been off. Well I'll keep him away from dealership as much as I can. My buddy owns a shop so I can get ahold of computer software for those trucks to talk to it. I'm a tech for Cat so I'll fix myself but will probably have to buy the crap at a dealership. Idk to many issues all at once. I'm with you on the it sending a surge through harness. I've run into that with cat and Agco tractors taking out modules and stuff. Any RAM tech out there reading this??

Locate the Body Control , check all connectors for proper connection and lack of burning or corrosion signs .
Good luck !
