    How to replace map lights 2023 1500?

    Removing the consul still requires removing the lenses. So don't remove the consul; just remove the lens, the plastic chrome-plated reflector, and the old bulb, then reinstall the reflector first, and then the LED bulb. If not installing the reflector first, the LED bulb connection may not hold...

    Map Light Fuse Number for 5th Gen RAM 1500 is F30

    Thanks for the link. It turns out it is Fuse 30 after removing most likely fuses. The link you provided shows the same table as the manual, except there are nice photos of the fuse box with the fuses numbered so that they are easy to read. However, based on the descriptions in the table, I...

    Map Light Fuse Number for 5th Gen RAM 1500 is F30

    I've been working on replacing the incandescent Map Light bulbs with LEDs in my 2020 RAM 1500. It was going well until I short-circuited one of the lights while installing the LED bulb. Now, I'm trying to find the correct Fuse Number since the fuse table in the manual is too cryptic to tell what...

    Remote Start and Front Defroster

    Yep! I'll have to trade in my 2020 BigHorn and get myself a 2020 Longhorn!

    Maybe the difference is between the 2018 and 2020 model years.

    Remote Start and Front Defroster

    That's what the last sentence of my beginning statement for this thread states, that I did contact the dealer and they contacted Chrysler, their response was only in regard to interior conditions. You are right that I have to continue to do what I have been doing. Turning on the defroster...

    Remote Start and Front Defroster

    Yes, the exterior of my windshield was iced over and the defrost blower was not blowing, and the defrost button was not lit. The frost is on the outside not inside, so I don't think the humidity sensor is applicable since that is sensing the interior.

    It was between 19 and 23 degrees both days during these test sessions here in Wisconsin. I'm not saying the system is broken, only that it does not have the proper programming for the Auto heating system.

    Remote Start and Front Defroster

    UPDATE: My previous replies indicated that I agreed with Ricks Ram and Corneileoous, but I have to take those back. Yes, I agree that the front window did partially clear but you have to let the truck completely warm up. The warm air inside the cabin will eventually clear your windshield, but...

    Remote Start and Front Defroster

    This is the answer I was looking for. The key is the engine has to be at operating temperature before the front defroster blower really kicks in and blows hard. Thank you Ricks Ram, Corneileous and Ramagain!

    Remote Start and Front Defroster

    Really. Well, I'll have to try this again to verify. But really though, in my case, the defroster was still not on after a long run time. It seems to me if you let the regular heating system run long enough it will defrost the windshield without turning on the front defroster. But in your...

    Remote Start and Front Defroster

    It never turns on when using the remote unless I select the front defroster to be on before I turn off the truck for the night. Other than that it works perfectly. It's not a malfunction just a shortfall in having a practical design.

    Remote Start and Front Defroster

    That is what I'm saying. The design could have taken this into account but it does not.
