5.7 Hemi
I’ve got a 2006 ram 1500 5.7L Hemi. I don’t drive this vehicle in the winter as it’s been redone cosmetically and I do not want any rust ( Ontario winters ) I had parked the truck for the winter (I removed the battery due to battery drainage from my stereo) in fall of 2023 and returned back to it in spring of 2024 and had problems with my gauge cluster as the whole right side of it does not communicate with the truck (RPM , Speedometer, Temp , Oil) I only have fuel gauge and battery. I have changed the tipm (didnt change anything) I got a new cluster (didn’t change anything) I’m at a loss on what to do. For a long time the starter replay would click and I was unable to start the truck, and then it randomly stopped. I was then able to drive the truck daily but still no working cluster. My multi function switch was messing up which made me believe the tipm was going so I replaced it and it worked.
Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks.

First thought, a mouse got up in somewhere and chewed a wire while stored. Have you visually inspected all the wires? You may need a scope to see everything.
