    Cummins crank but no start

    Read your post to my wife, she says your truck may be haunted. If it were mine I would go back to the basics, clean/check/tighten every ground and battery connection wherever they go. Even the connections on the batteries. After they are as perfect as they can be made, see what's left, it may be...

    This is an outstanding troubleshooting thread and should be tagged and saved. Mike

    Rear door locks

    Sounds like a broken wire in the driver's door. Check inside the rubber wire gasket in the open area of the drivers door. Possibly one or more of the wires could be broken open. Mike

    Heated seats, mirror defroster, HVAC, and Airbag indicator

    First things first. Check all of your grounds and power lines at and from the batteries, to destinations and all grounds. Make sure they are all crud free, tight, use dielectric grease on the grounds. Most intermittent electrical problems are caused a loose, or corroded ground. Mike

    Will a 2006 Big Horn front door fit a 2005 Big Horn?

    Chrome door handles on the 06, black on your 05. Mike

    I'd like to add. "and where it was stored when not in use, garage or outside - makes a difference." Mike

    No Power 12V.

    Start simple. Make sure ALL battery connections (both Batteries) are all clean and tight. Remove each terminal one at a time clean both the battery terminal and the cable terminal using a wire brush type terminal cleaner, reinstall and tighten the terminal, then go to the next terminal on the...

    No start, no lights, truck completely dead!

    One other place to look is your ignition switch wires. I know a small pita to get to, but they have been known to over heat burn contacts, melt insulation, and cause a no response of any kind when turning the key on. It's just a possibility. Mike

    Let it run or turn it off?

    I have never let mine run during fueling. Mike

    4wd drive issue flashes everything but 4wd auto

    Any battery terminal that is loose can and will cause strange issues on these vehicles. Make sure all battery terminals are clean and secure, also check all grounds as loose/corroded grounds also have a history of causing unsolvable issues in modern vehicles. Mike

    No Towing Hooks?

    Is your truck a 4WD?, if not that may be the reason. My 06 has them but it's a 3/4 ton and 4WD. My tow hooks are in the area just above the chrome bumper on my truck. On your truck it looks like that entire area is filled with some kind of plastic filler from the factory. Just from looking at it...

    Navigation/Radio Issues

    After checking a number of different options I decided to take Raj (3pedals) up on his offer to sell me the unit in his 08. I will post the final results once the operation is completed. Mike

    Navigation/Radio Issues

    Pm sent I think. Wasn't able to find a PM section so started what they call a conversation don't know if that's the same. All the other forums I use call it a PM. Mike

    Navigation/Radio Issues

    I really didn't know there was more than one nav unit available. The best I can do right now is to attach a picture of my dash with the nav unit in it. The truck is an 06 2500 CTD. I have the VIN and can see if the build sheet mentions anything about the nav unit. I'll do that later today and...
