Diablo Sport intune causing electronic issues

[kris319]

Recently I've been having issues with my steering wheel controls and horn randomly not working. If I start the truck and they work, they'll stay working but the next time I start it they might not work until the next start. I removed the tuner last night and it seems to have corrected the issue.

I found this post on the diablo sport forums with the same issue for jeeps.

hey man,

I have the hemifever tune. I haven't notice anything crazy but there are time when I find my steering columns are reversed. I can't say for sure his happened before or after my tune was put in as I never really used them. May try uninstalling the tune and putting it back in? This is on a 2010 ram. I haven't noticed anything else but I dont use much other then radio and windows in truck lol

I've tried doing that and also disconnecting the battery to see if I can reset the system. I just got back from the dealer and they found 3 pages of error codes, they're going to replace my clockspring. Once they do that I'll throw the tune back on to see if it happens again.

oh man -

was this a canned tune you were using or a custom tune (such as hemi fever).

I do notice on your profile here you've got yourself a 2014? I seem to have noticied the newer truck, id say 2012 up have been reporting a lot of issues like this and i wonder if it has something to do with the newer models opposed the older - but who knows for sure, those canned tunes can be trouble sometimes.

i hope it all works out for you man, did the dealer notice anything about the tune being on there at all?

Well it finally did it again today without the tune installed so it's looking like it's the clockspring. They did not notice that it had been tuned (hemifever) although I had remove it prior to going to the dealer. I spoke on the phone with a tech from Diablosport and he told you can actually take the truck to the dealer with the tune installed and they can't tell but I'm not sure I want to risk that.

While we're on the subject of the DS tuners and electrical issues, I've noticed that when I have a tune installed, the remote start range is far less than when it's stock. Does anyone else get this or am I just crazay?
