Cam/Wheel Sensor Issues

[bendirkss]

I'm having issues with my right read wheel sensor, sometimes it throws lights on (ABS, SERVICE 4WD, TRACTION) and sometimes its all good. I replaced the sensor but the lights didn't turn off for a little while after, and I'm thinking they'll come back on.
My engine light also comes on sometimes, not all the time. Its throwing a cam sensor code. Can someone tell me where the cam sensor is on a 2011 ram 1500, 5.7?
Another issue I have is my blower fan squeaking very loud. I took the fan motor out, cleaned it up and put some lube in there. Then I plugged it in and turned it on, it ram rough and then shut off completely so I have no fan now and its -35C. Does it make sense that the fan would just stop working like that ?

On a 2011??? How many miles are on it?

Almost 73k miles, I could see a blower motor going. Especially if a bearing was starting to go which is probably what the squeaking noise was.

I believe the cam sensor is right next to the radiator hose where it meets the thermostat housing. It should be gray with a wire harness running to it.

Thanks for that help. I sprayed on the sensors in the engine with WD40, and that cleared the code for a day.

I don't know how long WD-40 will do the trick. You may want to pick up a little tube of dielectric grease from your local auto parts store. Just remove the plug from the sensor, squeeze some of the dielectric grease into the plug, then reattach the plug to the sensor. It acts as an insulator and helps keep moisture out.

I ordered a new sensor, its only $20. I just need to figure out where the sensor is. Does anyone know ?
