    Need help with 2004 5.7 intermittent starting and other electrical issues

    Hey guys, thank you in advance for your input and experience. I'm not big on fixing my own vehicles (I prefer building new things out of wood over maintaining things made of metal!). I know that's not cool around here, but my various mechanics are at a loss on this vehicle. I've got a 2004 RAM...

    So I've got a few electrical issues going on. Couple of codes thrown which just come back once cleared. Such as "Loss communication with door module A". And some other ground issues.

    Still having electrical issues.

    Alright guys, I've been at this for about a year now with this electrical issue. Everything passing the bed of my truck and after that does not work, meaning nothing electrical in the rear is working. I took it to the dealer and they said about $2,000 and that wouldn't even guarantee a fix. I...

    2014 Ram Ecodiesel BCM

    Lost 12v constant

    My co-driver thought it would be a good idea to charge a laptop on the auxiliary plug inverter. After about 30 mins I lost power to the plug and basically all other hot 12v systems. Such as that port and trailer breaks. I'm not sure what all doesn't work but essentially everything that was a...
