Dodge Ram: Lots Of Accessories Do Not Work

In this video I have a look at a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins that came in with a short list of things that stopped working. They include but are not limited to the radio, intermittent wipers, the power seat, dash lights, marker lights, and dome lights. Customer told me it had been a long time sense they last worked. -Enjoy!

I am one of those guys who likes the mysteries of 12vdc circuitry. I have a friend who knows household wiring, but has a very hard time with automotive electric. The one that came to mind when watching this video is way back in the early eighties. A lady brought her little Ford to the station with headlight trouble. Before me, some genius had run a 12ga wire from the back of the left headlight, through the engine compartment, out the corner of the hood, in through the door opening and into the fusebox. Holy crap! Anyway, I took Dr, Frankenstein's pigtail out and began the diagnosis. It was a bit odd. Turn on the headlights and they were on high beam and wouldn't switch to low, despite the switch physically operating normally. The switches in those cars are extremely durable and it wasn't a very old car. I decided to unplug the headlights and see what happened with the switch. Voilà. The switch still did the same, but now, the high beam indicator on the dash would go off and on with the switch actuations. I plugged in the passenger side bulb and it functioned normally. I plugged in the driver's side bulb and the malfunction came back. I checked the circuits at the plug and they were also normal. That put the problem inside the sealed beam bulb. I put in a new bulb and the system was fixed. We charged an hour of labor and the price of the bulb. The lady was ecstatic that first, I was able to find out what was actually wrong and second, that the dire predictions from the previous actors were totally out in left field. Mostly, she was happy that our cost was so low. Labor rate was much lower then and the bulb was about $7 as I recall. It was the larger sized rectangular sealed beam that functioned as both high and low beam with two filaments. What had happened is that one filament broke at the stem and the end fell onto the other filament, crossing the circuits inside the bulb. I showed her the bulb and what to look for. She took it with her to go get her money back from the other guy. I had another job there in which the main mechanic screwed a customer who ended up stuck about twenty miles from the station. I took the tow truck and retrieved the stalled dually pickup truck and brought to back to the station. I spent three hours in the night, diagnosing and fixing the problem that slapped the mechanic in the face, yet he chose to ignore it. Bad rocker switch on the dash that switched fuel tanks and gauges. Dipshit put a new fuel pump on the engine and when it didn't pump fuel, he added fuel to the empty tank. Two and a half gallons, enough to get into the downtown area of Phoenix. I found the defective switch and since I told the customer I would do everything I could to fix his truck, I pulled the switch apart and corrected the problem with the internal contacts, fixing it, rather than waiting to get a new one from the dealer. I also covered for the idiot which led to me being able to humiliate him when discussing the situation with the boss.

[@TazarZero]

For a noob, I almost called it before you pointed it out Eric. All the list of things that weren't working, I figured they all had to be connected somewhere. Based on past videos, I was thinking fuse, ground, or faulty part. Sure enough, it was a missing fuse~

Now comes the Million Dollar Question; Where did the fuse go! Thanks for the links, as an old retired Mechanic I still work on my vehicles so I will at least get the diagrams for them. Now for a suggestion; we need more of Mrs. O, she adds class to the videos, besides I enjoy the banter back & forth between you two.

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Eric truly like the way you have been explaining very clearly the use of the electrical schematics. Have been teaching myself how to read and understand them but its nice to see you use them and know that how I'm interpreting them is correct. Worked with mechanical prints my whole life but am now very interested in electrical schematics because of today's automotive complexities. I have the tools just need to improve my understanding and you are a big help. thanks much.❤️️

[@davidb.fishburn9338]

It helps that Chrysler listened to the techs quite a few years ago and made the wiring diagrams a lot simpler and easier to read and understand. Basically, the power source is at the top, and the grounds are at the bottom. The diagrams also have clickable links, clicking on a connector will give you options like connector view, pinout view, etc. So much easier and quicker than having to search thru everything to find what you're looking for.

[@walterk1221]

This made me smile. Several years ago my son bought a used '99 3500 with "previous owner extra wiring". That very same fuse was the issue and the behavior of the foglamp-indicator was my clue. His truck's fuse was not missing however; it was "partially blown". What I mean by that is low-current functions worked but nothing high current. The fuse had become an intermittent high resistance short. I am really enjoying your content.

For DIY repair info & wiring diagrams, also check you local library. Many of them already have paid subscriptions to the professional repair information that Eric mentions in this video. Some library's allow people to log in from home to get this information, while other libraries require you come to their location to use those repair databases (really depends on who they have their subscriptions thru and what their terms-of-use are for library users). If your local library does not have any access to current repair information, then put in a request that they add it.

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

I remember back in 2007, my 1995 Jeep Cherokee developed a strange issue. My headlights would work but the running lights and dash lights would not unless I gradually eased the headlight switch to the "sweet" spot in between the headlights and marker lights position. I replaced the headlight switch to no avail, and warrantied it out at least twice more, continually believing that the headlight switch was to blame. It turned out that the fuse for the running lights had blown, and that the headlights run off of circuit breakers as a fail safe! For some reason, having the head light switch positioned just right in-between headlights and marker lights allowed the marker lights to grab power off of the headlight's circuit breakers as well.

[@philjerome9795]

I had a friend bring me his 2004 Mercury Mountaineer. It had been to a local shop, his headlights weren't working. They quoted him a hefty price for the directional / high beam wand , which was visibly broken. He was low on cash and the truck had a lot of mileage. So I got a cheapo Chinese replacement from E Bay. Installed it, it was an easy 15 minute job, and the head lights still weren't working. Upon checking the fuse, which was one of those box types, I discovered it was missing. Apparently they forgot to put it back.

Thank you so much this video helped me out I have been trying to figure out my break lights, turn signals and many more things in my 2nd gen and fuses never crossed my mind I wish we checked the fuses before I bought a new starter😂

[@psdaengr911]

With multiple loads on multiple circuits, common power and body ground from the battery would have been my first thought, fuses would be next, ignition switch and its controlled aux relay(s) third and fourth. I can't imagine a short sufficient to make a 50A fuse evaporate. My guess is when making one those badly done extra wire mods, the fuse was temporarily removed and plugged into an unused soccket. For DIYers, one vehicle-specific factory shop manual typically costs less than a month of Mitchell service.

[@Homefree18]

Guy’s waiting for the shop to open, it’s 15 degrees outside and the drivers window is half-open and won’t close. I bring it inside and find none of the windows work from any of the switches. I pull out the master switch to start my diag and find the connector is unplugged. I plug it back in, it locks into place securely and *BOOM* everything works! I couldn’t see how it could unplug itself, so I start looking around for the camera. My shop uses Mitchell and I absolutely HATE it!

thanks for the info at the end comments on info sources. i worked in the trade in the early 80s and found the mitchell manuals had errors then. i alway try to buy a factory manual for my vehicles.

[@Matbug1812]

I can't help myself. I always check all the fuses first. (a 80s thing, i think) now, with a power probe, which is handy, cuz u can see low volt circuits. I've been burned by a missing fuse a couple of times, but learned to keep my eye out for that.

[@Cheepchipsable]

It's a simple thing you can do quickly. The real problem starts when the fuse keeps blowing, but at least it narrows down the circuit. Sometimes fuses do blow, they would have a lifespan or are simply poorly made, but they shouldn't blow on a regular basis. Can't agree with the "missing fuses are common" argument, because these fuses are clearly marked, and are dedicated, not like a panel which has no guide to follow. Sometimes people remove a fust to turn something off that won't switch off like it should. Had a car where the radio didn't work - discovered missing fuse only to discover that the radio would now not turn off. turns out it had a faulty on/off switch on the radio itself.

[@quantumleap359]

The customer might have been testing your honesty. A missing fuse is suspect, almost like a testing failure, just to see how honest your service center is. However, you passed with flying colors, Eric! Good show!

The fuel pump I think is starting to fail because it doesn't want to fire, just crank, but it starts more than not and it runs like a champ. It has ~127,000 miles and has never had an engine issue. It's just more worn is all.

That's weird. I looked at a Toyota Avensis ex-taxi which had, had the "Dome" fuse pulled which disabled most of the accessories.

I hope that’s a proper fusible link! It should very well be, and they are used on circuits that are allowed or expected to have very high loads for a short period of time, for example both the thermo fans in my car are on fusible links. Fusible links can be denoted by having a big old nugget of metal in the middle of them under a window. I’m sure you know this as a mechanic but I just thought I’d mention this for other folks. You need to put a fusible link in if that’s what came out, because if you just stick a fuse in there, it’ll constantly trip although there is nothing actually wrong with the circuit.

Seeing the extra wiring, hanging here and there, I think that I would have opened the fuse box first thing for a visual. Often, people will just find some power, wherever, and jam the wire in with it. Bad move! Of course that may not have helped in this case because it was missing entirely.
