    Automatic Door Locks Will Unlock, but Won't Lock

    Following up... $160 big ones. Since I purchased my used (not re-manufactured) the dealer pulled some mumbo-jumbo on me because the VIN of my truck won't match the VIN of the BCM. I told them to reprogram it anyways and presto... everything works again. So for about $80 (used BCM) and $160 (BCM...

    Automatic Door Locks Will Unlock, but Won't Lock

    I purchased a used BCM from eBay (no guarantee it was functioning but it was from a wrecked Ram) for $80. I was able to remove the old and install the new in about 45 minutes. 1. Removing the ~8 connectors is easy, just flip up the plastic lock and pull out. 2. There are four 10mm nuts holding...

    Automatic Door Locks Will Unlock, but Won't Lock

    I did a little debugging on this issue. The wiring diagram for the door locks (attached) shows the following: Connector C on the BCM housing Pin 1 = Driver's door only unlock output signal Pin 2 = Lock/unlock input signal (from door switch and key fob) Pin 3 = Unlocks all other doors output...

    Reprogram Body Control Module

    Thanks for the reply! I’ve got to head over there because of an under warranty exhaust leak so I’ll see if they can update it. I was really thinking of buying a used BCM from eBay for $80 and just getting the dealer to reprogram it. What’s the latest recall?

    Reprogram Body Control Module

    Hey M2 Mods, I saw in the post about converting to auto climate control that the BCM (Body Control Module) is reprogrammed. There is a fairly common problem with 13'/14' Rams where the door locks stop working, see this thread. The dealer wants $250 to reprogram the BCM, any way around that...

    Automatic Door Locks Will Unlock, but Won't Lock

    +1 for this issue, my 2013 is doing that same thing Does anyone know the following: 1) Where is the BCM located on the vehicle? 2) Does it have to be reprogrammed if a used one is purchased? 3) BCM replacement instructions?

    Removing rear view mirror and auxiliary 12V power

    Thanks for all the compliments! 1) No, I have not be capture by an agency. HEHE. I'm just sitting here safely in my living room typing on a computer connected to an obscure VPN :) 2) The Mini 0801 dashcam is great for me! I had one issue though: you can't use a Class 10 SD card for...

    Random flashing/flickering backlight on instrument cluster

    Update: I have not seen this issue since the cluster was replaced. The dealer my car was fixed at is decent. You have to watch them carefully because like mentioned they will scratch some stuff up! If you are in the Oregon area check out NW Jeep in Beaverton (Portland). The top steering wheel...

    Random flashing/flickering backlight on instrument cluster

    Since the cluster got replaced there have been no flickering issues. I did notice that the new "updated" cluster has bolder text/font. Also, my odometer got rolled back about 200 miles because they have to program the mileage at the factory. So when you take it in they will write down the...

    Hidden features?

    Another cool one: If the wipers are set to ON when the truck is cranked, they will swipe 3 times at constant low speed to remove the excess water.

    You must have a tonneau cover or camper shell :patriot:. Otherwise its useless, unless you are worried about your gate gettin' stole.

    Hidden features?

    I don't like this so I made a tutorial on how to prevent it; now that's a hidden feature! http://www.ramforum.com/f41/disable_tailgate_automatic_lock-39453/ They are auto but also turn on with the rear defrost like stated earlier. But the rear defrost will turn off after 10 minutes or so...

    Press front defrost button twice to turn it on?

    If the defrost is off when the truck is started the button has to be pressed twice before it will turn on, regardless of the point in time relative to the engine crank. But after it is pressed once, it will respond instantly. I noticed this too and think that it is unacceptable. When you pay...

    Press front defrost button twice to turn it on?

    Do you have a 2013? Your side bar says 2014... It doesn't matter how long I hold it the first time it WILL NEVER turn on. And it doesn't matter how quickly I press it the second time it WILL ALWAYS turn on. If you spend this much on a truck you should only have to press the defrost button...

    Press front defrost button twice to turn it on?

    This is not true. You only need mechanical contact.

    Press front defrost button twice to turn it on?

    Doesn't matter how long you hold it the first time, it won't turn on. The second time it turns on instantly. This is a product of what your HVAC system is set to prior to turning only the defrost on. For example, if you had floor only on then toggled the defrost it would return to floor only...

    Press front defrost button twice to turn it on?

    I need your help 2013 Ram owners! I just complained to the dealer that the physical front defrost button (not the software button on the radio) has to be pressed twice before it actually turns on. Here is the scenario: 1) Truck is not running 2) Start truck 3) Press defrost button Does...
