2012 Dodge Ram 1500, Ignition but DOESNT START or STARTS AFTER FEW TRIES. FIXED!

Thank you. My 2012 5.7 is doing this. Pretty consistently as well. Going to remove terminals and clean everything up.

I have this same issue, but my cables look good. Gonna try resetting the computer tomorrow though. Thanks

What type of scanner do you have Paul Dark? I'd like to get a scanner that would be able to find those faults. Also, would any 'bluetooth scanner' like Blue Driver Pro or OBDLink MX+ perform those functions? Thanks.

Ended up doing a fuel relay bypass. Problem solved.

[@alexskybun2956]

So it was same problem as it showed in a video? Sometimes start sometimes not?

[@tacroom12]

@@alexskybun2956 yes. So what I did was test my fuel pump. Fuel pump was good. Apparently the fuel relay is built into the tipm and cannot be replaced like a fuse like non Chrysler vehicles. I found vertical visions bypass for about 60$. Takes about 30 seconds to install. There’s KZbin videos on it. I installed last winter and even the single digit morning’s it would start up first try. A strong start too. No puttering and no rpm’s dropping. Make sure and get the bypass that has no wiring because that one is not a permanent solution.

@@tacroom12 I don't think you had the same issue as this video. The problem in this video is no crank and security light blinking. Nothing to do with bypassing a fuel pump relay.
