Really need to know what the fault codes are before anyone can even take an educated guess on what is wrong.

One thing to check is the grounds and make sure they are all good and tight, no corrosion etc. That can cause weird issues with the electrical system and is something that happens with those older gen 3 trucks.

They should also be using Alf OBD to read CEL on all Dodges cars & trucks 2005 up and its only $50. that software will give you code numbers...
