    Little light between map lights won't turn off

    Thanks for this, Crash68. I had never thought about the "power density" of car batteries before. I foolishly thought that 800amps was somehow 800 Amp-Hours. 70 makes way more sense and tells me why I had the initial problem.

    5.7 powered VW Beetle

    I put a Porsche modded Porsche 356 in my 1971 VW van. Worst mistake I ever made - relative to cars. No vacuum taps for the vacuum-assist brakes, no rear engine bolt holes to engage the rear engine support (which Porsches don't use), vrey unhappy below 3,500 RPM with the cam it had in it, etc...

    I give up on aftermarket led taillights

    Having trouble removing the center dashboard bezel (radio/AC controls frame)

    Hi Wallyb4, Was this recently? I contacted them (at least I think it was them. Same name, located in Florida) and they said they no longer service the Uconnect 5.0. I found one place in all of the known universe that will service them. I sent them mine, and it turned out my mother board was...

    Manifold bolts 2nd time, plus manifolds

    I had my two warped manifolds pulled and belt sanded on a professional "sanding table". It was very easy to see that the rear port on both manifolds had been leaking in all directions and that there was a smaller leak on the front port on one of the manifolds. No cracks could be found. In 5...

    Driving with manifold leak

    UPDATE: I had my two warped manifolds pulled and belt sanded on a professional "sanding table". It was very easy to see that the rear port on both manifolds had been leaking in all directions and that there was a smaller leak on the front port on one of the manifolds.

    Having trouble removing the center dashboard bezel (radio/AC controls frame)

    Well, I got it removed today. How? Pulled even harder! But the big change is that I had just driven the truck and the heater was going the entire time. When the bezel was warmer things were more willing to let go. And yes, there is a third screw half way down the right side on mine. But it...

    Having trouble removing the center dashboard bezel (radio/AC controls frame)

    I'm trying to remove the Uconnect 5.0 radio from my 2014 RAM 1500. I've got the rubber cover out of the top of the bezel and removed to two Torx screws that lock the bezel into the frame of the dashboard. The videos I've watched say to then pull on the top of the bezel and it will come off...

    Starter Switch Problem

    Turns out, my ignition switch module died. Also, my primary key was dead and unreviveable. My mechanic told me that it was possible that the bad key killed the module (because it was saying "wrong key fob" before the total failure of the module), or that the module killed the key. They were...

    Starter Switch Problem

    Hello, My 2014 RAM 1500 5.7 started giving me "Wrong Key Fob" messages and would not respond to turning the key for several tries. Then it was lots of tries, and finally, all the tries in the world wouldn't engage the starter. It only said "Wrong Key Fob" occasionally during all those...

    Little light between map lights won't turn off

    Simple... I'll forget! Ha! Better to work 2 hours to build a reliable automatic shut-off option than to go out to my truck after three days in snow and find that I'm housebound - like I did last week.

    Little light between map lights won't turn off

    Very helpful to know this. Adding the camera is the only thing that changed before I started experiencing the problem. I just couldn't believe the camera system pulls so much current. Well, now I know...! I'm thinking I will modify the cigarette lighter adapter and wire that into a switched...

    Little light between map lights won't turn off

    Thanks for your input everyone. I couldn't find anything specific about it in the owner's manual, but with your suggestions, I went out and ran through all the settings on my lights: key on, key off, etc. I now know that it is simply an interior light that comes on every time the...

    Little light between map lights won't turn off

    The small light that shines down on the center console (located between the two map lights) turns on at will and sometimes, doesn't turn off, even when the key is off and out of the ignition. I don't even know of a switch for this particular light. Any ideas on how to control this thing...
