Electrical issues?

[Jocke]

Just got a problem with my ram 1500 2010. Lots of things stopped working like: steering wheel controls, horn, front heated seats vent seats, heated steering wheel, buttons for tow, esp, power outlet, parking sensor. I couldn't find a broken fuse, but maybe I'm just blind. Do you guys know what the problem could be?

What shape is your battery in ? Funky things happen when your battery starts to go.

Is the underside of your fuse box caked in mud or snow? That can cause problems.

If you get a lot of weird electric problems and it's mystifying double check your ground. You may have a ground strap to the cab off or corroded.

I think it's in pretty good shape. I have had a ctek charger when it's been really cold. And the truck starts up just fine.

Thank you, I will check this. I hade a suggestion from a friend that it could be moisture in the TIPM. Am guessing that is the fuse box?

Thank you for the tip. Do you know the placement of all the ground wires?

Googled it and got this. You could easily check this by using jumper cables. Just use one cable from battery negative to clean bolt on cab or fire wall.

Thank you! I will check using jumper cables. I will be back with a status update.

No luck with the ground cable. Could it be the fuse box?

Hey y'all first time I have ever wrote on here. I have a 2013 ram 2500 6.7 and the ambient outside temp sensor in my drivers side mirror reads -40. My engine light is on code p0073. I have replaced the sensor but still not fixed. Any suggestions?
