Hello all. New to the forum, actually have never posted on ANY forum so bare with me if I'm not up on forum etiquette. I have a 2012 Ram 2500 SLT, 4X4, 6.7, lifted, deleted. I cannot say much about the delete and tune since I bought it that way about 4 years ago. The truck has been flawless since day one aside from normal ware issues. About two weeks ago I took it to work and when I got the remote start in the morning,I noticed it took just a little longer to start. It started none the less and off to work I went. After work, remote start didn't work, I thought nothing of it and jumped in and manual start it but nothing happened. No click, no attempt to turn, NOTHING. I jumped out and banged on the starter ( I know, I know) I jumped back in and still nothing. I moved the gear lever back and forth and nothing. Then after a few times of trying to start it, the starter started making noises and I was able to start it. I drove home and have not been able to start it. I have read plenty of threads and have seen plenty of YouTube videos but none seem to fit my issue.
Here's what I've done, to no avail:
-New starter
-New relay
-Removed TIPM to inspect
-Checked power at starter; has power from battery
-Checked signal wire while turning key; does NOT have signal
-Tranced wire to TIPM; wire is in tact and has continuity
-Checked for signal at TIPM; does NOT have signal coming out of TIPM
-Jump started the starter at relay; truck started
-Bought new WIN from Autotech; does NOT start
-Test batteries with Volt meter individually; tested good.
Anything else I need to do, any ideas will help. I feel like I'm at the end of the line on this. I forgot to mention,when I turn the key dash, lights, radio all come on and normal. Check engine line comes on and threw P0606.
