Greetings,
I'm new to the forum.
So here is my issue, I have a 2012 ram 2500, the only upgrades I've done are cold air intake and DPF,EGR delete and tuned with a raceme tuner. A couple of weeks ago I was out and about and ran into a store, when I came out I went to start my truck, it literally fired up for a split second and then died on me. When I turned the key to restart it it wouldn't crank, in fact I didn't get the squiggly icon for the heater box, it only showed the fuel pump icon. I had it towed to a shop, the guy told me that it was more than likely the ECU went out. They ordered a new ECU and the place they ordered it from stated the first one was bad and they would have to ship a second one. Fast forward to this week and they got it installed in the truck and told me it must be bad also, because none of their diagnostic computers would read it... They told me that they were troubleshooting it with the supplier. Anybody have this issue before?
I remember about a year ago, I had an issue with the truck not wanting to start or show the heater box icon and there was a guy on YouTube that stated if you remove the ignition from the dash you can spray the circuit board with an electronic cleaner and it would allow your truck to start as normal. I'm wondering that the ignition maybe the reason for them not being able to connect their diagnostic computers.... Just a thought... Curious to see if anybody else has ever had this problem. My truck has been out of commission for 30 days now and I miss her.....
