No door locks whatsoever

[jacoblane216]

2004 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7
Ever since I got this truck I’ve had to manually lock and unlock it because my power locks don’t function whatsoever
Brand new window switches, tried a fcm/bcm I know is good, already have a new ecu from another issue, and checked fuses. Fobs don’t do anything and door switches don’t do anything. Just put a cluster in from another truck with power locks and it changed nothing. I’ve ran out of ideas for what could be causing it. Could the cluster I just put in be bad as well, could it be the tipm, I know those are bad to go out in newer rams. Any suggestions is appreciated thanks in advance

It could very well be that something needs to be programmed ?

No, this is PCI. CAN bus requires that kind of programming for options.

TIPM in the older trucks isn't like the newer ones with the problems they have. Those functions are all routed through the cluster. When you swapped the cluster, what did you do with the RKE module on the back?

Sorry for the way late reply I’ve been dealing with this dang truck left and right trying to sort out all sorts of issues. I still have the rke module on both clusters and swapping the clusters to my newly rebuilt one either both modules are bad or they aren’t the issue still because power locks still don’t do anything via remote or switches both of which I replaced. The only other idea I’ve had is new actuators but haven’t gotten to it yet. So I think I’ve decided to bite the bullet and take it to a good local shop who has a good rep and who sorted out my parents vehicles after lightning fried about everything in them both. But if you have anymore ideas I’m all ears, in the meantime I’m going to swap the rke module only this time instead of the whole cluster and worst case scenario I was able to find an NOS rke module from mopar through a friend of mine. Thanks again for the help
