Start button ring

[adagar2000]

Greetings y’all! I’m new to this forum and, happy to report, a Ram1500 owner! In fact, I just bought it.
I’m hoping someone can point me in the direction of a quick fix to replacing a missing start button ring.
(2014 3.0 EcoDiesel Laramie)
Cheers!

Benny w/All Mopar Parts or Steve w/Tasca in the Preferred Vendor section off the Forum's main page...

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately I could not find that specific ring with either of those vendors. My local Dodge parts department informed me that I require an entire new start switch assembly for $116. Does this sound accurate?

Post in the AllMoparParts thread and ask Benny (@AllMoparParts.com) directly. You can then supply him your VIN (send PM) and he will let you know exactly what's available.

The dealer is the last place that i would be checking out

Look at places like amazon & ebay

Benny at allmoparparts has beaten Amazon prices for me a few times.
Tasca Steve hooked me up with a evap purge solenoid at a really good price too recently. Either of them are my starting point for repair parts now.

I bet that whole assembly has to be replaced as a unit though.
