S&B cold air intake

[KKBB]

I just installed a S&B intake on my 2019 ram 2500 6.4 hemi. I unhooked the negative battery connection like they said to. When all done and I go for a test drive, all lights are on. Check ABS, check everything!! I shut the truck off, turned it back on and it cleared all the junk on the dashboard. It was 37 degrees and my butt warmer, and steering wheel heat didn't come on. I went to turn them on and it works fine, but now there isn't even the option for the passenger seat heated seats. WTF?!?! Will it eventually come back since these are big dumb computers, or do I need to try something else?? Thanks.

How long did you disconnect the battery for? Yes it should go back to normal in probably 3 drive cycles. This sort of things happen also when you replace the battery

Give it an hour or two and everything should come back

I cleared my IBS when I did my battery, and per Head Mechanic at Dealership, he related keep off for 4 hours. NE WAY, when I fired up the truck, it was XMAS tree heaven. About 1/2 of the stuff cleared initially, but it took 4-5 drive cycles for most of the computer modules to talk to each other. It took 4 cycles just to get my cruise back. Just how these dang rolling electronic gremlins are.

It was close to 2 hours the battery was disconnected. I replaced the battery a couple years ago and don't remember it doing this, but it may have been during good weather and the heated seats weren't needed. I will give it a couple days to see if everything goes back to normal before getting too paranoid.

Also, gotta say the S&B is nice, but royally sucks to get the 3 grommets to line up that the box snaps into. Overall, probably wouldn't do it again if given the chance. It was a Christmas present from the wife though.

When i replaced my battery mine did all kinds of strange things. No air conditioning contol was the biggest since it was july here in phoenix lol. I drove it for a hour i believe it was next day it was back to normal.

I didn't get to drive anymore yesterday since I wasn't feeling well, but will probably drive it today since I need to get some prescriptions filled and picked up. Hopefully it will be back to normal today, or soon after driving for a while.

Is there a recommended procedure for replacing the battery to minimize the electronic mayhem that will ensue?

same intake (i know they do nothing, but like the look), same french lesson lining up the grommets. glad it wasn't just me.

Just so you know in the future… there is absolutely no need to disconnect your battery to install a CAI. Regardless of what the instructions said.
