    U1147 / Phoenix Automotive 12" T-Style Head / 2012 Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L

    Okay, so I'm still sort of fighting this code because something just isn't quite right. Nothing is really working poorly, but because of my background in avionics and aviation electronics repair, these little codes can creep up to cause much bigger problems later. It has a U1147 code and while I...

    C121E That Persists

    First I want to thank anyone who offered assistance or even read my stupid stream of thought long posts. Seriously, thank you. Second, I'm feeling more confident that I found the problems that caused the error code or contributed to a year and a half of the cartoon out of control car light...

    U1147 / Phoenix Automotive 12" T-Style Head / 2012 Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L

    DON'T BUY A HEAD UNIT FROM PHOENIX AUTOMOTIVE!!!! I'm gave Phoenix Automotive a last try to get the correct files for the 2012 RAM 1500 to me. They had me schedule a tech support call with Jinjun Myung. He seems like a nice guy in a tough situation. As with all of the other tech support calls...

    U1147 / Phoenix Automotive 12" T-Style Head / 2012 Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L

    It has a can bus module built in the unit, but they only reference it for plugging it in with the other harnesses. It's been doing some strange things like when I use the menu down button on the steering wheel, the head unit starts beeping like its loading new firmware. I haven't returned it...

    C121E That Persists

    Even though the calipers that I replaced less than a year ago were brand new, not remanufactured, and definitely not used, they might get replaced again. It seems that they, are going to be phenolic piston garbage, just as the original ones that I replaced with four shattered pistons. No one...

    C121E That Persists

    Does anyone know where to get a 54mm diameter x 54mm height steel brake caliper piston? Okay, so the code keeps coming back and now, my truck pulls to the right when I brake. Checking the front left wheel (pulls right when braking / left brake issue) the brake was frozen, meaning it was not...

    C121E That Persists

    Today during my lunch break, I was driving with the codes cleared and the traction control light illuminated. I hit the brakes right when it illuminated to see if there was something instantaneous that was gone by the time I would need the brakes. For the first time since I put new brake...

    C121E That Persists

    Nope! It was fine on the 7 mile drive to the store, but on the way back, the light returned. For reference, I was driving steadily at 40mph with my foot very lightly on the gas pedal to maintain the speed, very steady RPMs, going straight, I was not turning, on a smooth, well maintained road. No...

    C121E That Persists

    No used the new one that came with it. I think I found the issue and solved the problem, but since it would go away for as long as two days, I don't want to hold my breath until its been a week, possibly more. With only the ABS pump and control module and the brake booster left that I haven't...

    C121E That Persists

    Yeah, I bought it used with 123k miles on it and now have 207k. I've continued to work on it. It's now been a year and a month or more since I started trying to repair the defect causing the C121E. So far, this is what I replaced in as close of a chronological order as I can recall: - brake...

    Steering Angle Sensor Readings on AlfaOBD

    My brother-in-law and I were looking at my 2012 RAM 1500 SLT 4.7L FlexFuel RWD initially because I have a C121E fault that has plagued me for over a year now, but he noticed something when I had AlfaOBD on the graphing function. He was looking at the readings that I get from the steering angle...

    U1147 / Phoenix Automotive 12" T-Style Head / 2012 Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L

    That's bad news, but thank you for the information. Sadly, they sent me a unit with a defective AC board. They sent me a replacement board and I attempted to replace it, but they glued the connectors in, which in my world having worked with vehicular electronics for the past thirty years, gluing...

    U1147 / Phoenix Automotive 12" T-Style Head / 2012 Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L

    I'm having some issues integrating a Phoenix Automotive head unit that I ordered back in November (yes, it's now mid-February). First, one thing I noticed after connecting AlfaOBD and checking for codes is that I have a U1147 fault code that is probably from having this unit attached and the...

    ABS / Stability Control problem. 2010 Ram 1500

    Would using the graphing feature on AlfaOBD be a good enough monitor to check the systems? I have a couple dozed recordings of tests where the fault code (C121E) was cleared, the graphing feature turned on and set to record with the four wheel speed sensors, brake pressure, yaw and inertia...

    Tesla style in a 2009-2012???

    I got one from Phoenix Automotive for my 2012 Ram 1500 SLT with three front seats. Connecting it was super easy and it looks great. Some of the stuff works, but that's where the good vibes end. First off, the thing is very much built for the 2012 and for the 2009-2012 physically. Everything...

    09-12 PHOENIX AUTOMOTIVE 12.1" Android 8.1 Vertical Screen Navi Radio

    I finally got mine after two months, but it has to go back because of the AC controls. My unit was the 12" latest one that moves the five button panel (includes traction control, hazard, power inverter, tow switches) to the bottom and puts manual AC controls at the top. The first problem that I...

    C121E That Persists

    Today, being broke but with plenty of brake fluid, some new bleeder valves to replace the ones I've worked enough to round out, and nothing but time, I decided that I'm going to bleed the brakes until I'm sick of it, or until I run out of the quart of brake fluid. I ran out of fluid. I did the...

    Increase Throttle Response

    Ahh, so having the 2012 has screwed me over again. I'm having tons of trouble with having a 2012 and compatibility with things like aftermarket head units linking properly to the can bus system and things like this that don't pertain to my truck but work on all of the other models. If I had any...

    Increase Throttle Response

    Am I missing something? My AlfaOBD doesn't have Body Control Module, it has Body Computer, unthe the config menu, there are no ECU or acceleration settings at all. Is this for a certain year Ram or some other AlfaOBD?

    Reverse lights stuck on

    Did you ever figure out what caused the tow fuse to cause the reverse lamps to stay on when not in reverse? I have a 2012 Ram 1500 SLT with a 4.7L flex fuel that is having the same issue you described, but I haven't pulled any fuses yet. I have to renew my state regestration which takes an...

    Aux power for acc lights

    Your best bet might be to add a power relay off of some feature that your truck doesn't have like the sunroof or heated seats, then to use the battery power that is now switched off of the relay. However, a word of advice, if you plan to have more additions down the road, go ahead and put in a...

    C121E That Persists

    So, something strange happened. I replaced the switch again and noticed that the brake lights worked in reverse. There was a thread started regarding this strange development. I ended up rewiring the switch. After the replacement, it didn't mater which switch was installed, the lights worked...

    Who Makes / Where to Find Bed Storage Boxes - Left and Right behind wheel well Boxes for 2022 2500?

    In my search for a set tat would fit my 2012, I found that they are universal. You'll want to get better hardware anyway. Definitely get something that would cause potential thieves to go back to their tool kit and start digging. I used torx plus security bolts because not everyone carries those...

    Who Makes / Where to Find Bed Storage Boxes - Left and Right behind wheel well Boxes for 2022 2500?

    I got a set of these and I love them. They are in the right place to reach the tools when needed. Although I'm tall enough to reach anything a traditional style bed box that fits under the rear window, these make life much easier. Pros: These can be very easily removed if needed. The tools are...
