IDK maybe electrical issue?

flyers21fan · Aug 31, 2014

Airbag indicator light going on and off, keyless entry not working, started truch and in seconds stalled out, blinkers indicator blink then solid then blink again. Does this sound like a more serious issue or just string of bad luck? Any help please

Kinda sounds like your TIPM module is kicking the bucket.

Are you using the security key with the chip? What have you recently done to the truck?

If he was not using the security key his truck would shut off as soon as he tried to take it out of park if he has an automatic, and if he has a standard shift, it will do the same if he tries to engage the clutch. Plus with the trucks that have the grey security key if you do not use it to start your truck, but use an other non security key 3 times then you will have a very expensive parking spot taker. After using a non-security key 3 times the computer goes into security mode which means you have to have your truck towed to a dealership and have it reprogrammed. Unfortunately I learned this the hard way.

Sounds like another revenue generator for the dealer......

I have done nothing new to the truck all the symptoms have gone away except for 2. The turn signals still are acting up and the airbag indicator light keeps dinging on and off. Did a little more research and someone said it may be a loose ground, another said it is a clock spring behind the steering wheel but that was on a 2014 model.

Both problems are somewhat common across the different models.

From 2006 to present all Dodge trucks have the Can-Bus system. If even one thing is acting screwy it can be annoying to say the least. One thing wrong can cause so many more problems and yet tracking the one thing that caused the problems can be worse than just throwing parts at it.
Start with whatever acted up first. Check it out completely even to the point of changing parts if need be. Worse case is it could be the computer or TIPM.

UPDATE

The last 2 days not a single issue and then got in my truck to drive home and everything started happening again and on top of it now my headlight and/or fog lights will shut off and on while driving. Happened twice then nothing for the rest of the ride home.

Do you guys recommend taking this problem to my local mechanic or should I take it to the dealer? or another specialist

MegaMouseGW · Sep 3, 2014

Take it to a dealership to have them do a full troubleshooting of the system. Might be a bit expensive though, but this sounds like it could become a safety issue.

Update

Took my truck to dodge and really bad news they said it has 27 codes, how is that possible when the check engine light never came on? Need a new tipm and a/c mudule. Bill so far 1243 and rising

flyers21fan · Sep 9, 2014

Read something about class action suit about chrysler installing faulty tipm....could this be the same thing? Just curious because 27 codes with no warning or anything thats ridiculous!!!!

Redtruck-VA · Sep 9, 2014

Obvious that is a lot of codes, why did you take it to the dealer in the first place?

flyers21fan · Sep 9, 2014

Took it in because headlights would turn off while driving at night

That could be a TIPM related problem. Have you deleted the DTC's and rebooted to see what is now being thrown?
