So I take my 2016 Ram in for a check engine light and was told it needs a new fuel pressure sensor due to low fuel pressure. Ok, so get the new mopar sensor along with their revised wiring connector and have the shop install it. Received a call later in the day stating my truck is now not running as the sensor was bad and now reads high fuel pressure, the truck shuts off after starting. Now the sensors are on back order and the old sensor can't be put back in due to the wiring changes made. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem after replacing the sensor?

I have a 2016 ram. V6. Started throwing fuel pressure sensor hi code weeks ago. Original replacement part on back order every dealer i checked with. Bought what i thought was the original mopar replacement part from oem parts dealer on ebay. They sent a different fuel pressure tube and wiring connection instead. Said their dodge software said to send this combo as original part no longer available. Had my local mechanic install it. Truck still throws same code P018D. Truck luckily remains operable. Did u get ur truck issue resolved?

Any resolution on this? I just watched a video saying they changed the plug/wire orientation on the new connector, if you hook it up how it'd "make sense to us" it throws a P018D.

The wiring was changed on the back of the plug (left to right)from yellow/pink, black/white, black/yellow to the new configuration of black/white, black/yellow, yellow/pink. If you wired it how it was then go about 12 minutes in on this video and he explains how to change it
