So the instrument cluster on my 11 ram 3500 randomly goes crazy as I’m driving. Truck runs fine but warning lights are on wipers come on speedometer and rpm gauges all die then it goes away. Very intermittent. Any ideas?

Have you scanned it for codes? also test your battery clean terminals another thing wiggle your ignition see if it makes it act up when the ignition wears out all kinds of **** can happen on these trucks.

Have the same issue before it was intermittent now it is going more frequent, did you happen to get it fix? I check the battery, ignition and alternator all seems good.

is the issue still continuing? Mine continue intermittently for a few months and later became more frequent. I was able to fix it by removing the TIPM and cleaning it using a can of electrical/electronics contact cleaner and using a small paint brush (just make sure to put add tape on any metal parts and make the brush hair shorter by cutting or taping till only about half an inch is left before you brush the board) but make sure to check all the fuses before doing this step. I removed mine before doing the fuse check and found one of the fuses a 20 amp was bad, may have been just a bad fuse but unlikely.

Sounds like a win module, when the truck dies it "thinks" you turned off truck because it doesn't read the key position. The contacts on these just gum or carbon up over time. You can clean them, since your PCM isn't locked it should be easier to replace, the number one company selling these went bellyup.
