Cluster problems

[jksindiv]

I have a 2012 RAM 1500 outdoorsman with the 5.7. I recently lost can bus to my cluster. All gauges go to zero, cluster lit up like a Christmas tree, radio turns off, no ac (but fan blows), no stability control, no park sensors, trailer brake says check fault, headlights constantly on, and wipers are constantly on. Only dude that pulls is u1449 for the body control node. Other than that or runs and drives fine. Sometimes fixes itself/happens again when I hit a decent bump or pothole. Took it to the dealership and they replaced the TIPM, didn't fix it, then they replaced the PCM and that didn't fix it. Now they don't want to work on it anymore. For the last week, its been happening constantly. So my question is had anyone else had this happen and what did you do to fix it or where is the body control node so I start checking the wiring or replace that myself. Thanks

Have someone check the ignition switch common failure can cause all kinds of whacky things to happen stay far away from that dealer.

A bad battery can cause these things too...
