2013 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman (ABS Warning, Cruise Control Quit) Let's See Why.

[@davevincent5024]

Please don't ever stop presenting your diagnostic adventures, I know they have to take up a lot of your time and I know you get tired of the cheap skates who don't feel they need to pay you for your diagnostic time, I appreciate your efforts and commitment to our trade, please keep up the great work, you're one of the only reasons I like and utilize you tube

Love the videos don't get enough credit your up there with the Best Eric, advanced south main I don't no why you don't have more subscribers love the videos keep them coming

Spread the word! Thank you for the kind words!

my first cat was a 1960 Dodge Phoenix, think dart.... it had fins, anyway it had buttons that shifted the trans on the dash.. never had an issue with those buttons... slant 6 ran great every now and again would have to pull off the road and beat on the carb to unstick the float

[@grabovg]

I was just having this talk with a younger technician I work with. Most important step is visual inspection

[@ramitwood]

Thank You, even though it didn't help me with my particular problem, it was nice to see there are still some "Real Mechanics" out there doing the right thing when repairs are needed and done.

[@beluxauto5968]

Good diagnose . I´ve seen this on Saab several times - Funny things wheel bearings . no noise they have play and when they make noise there´s no play

[@CumminsDriver100]

Lol how true! Drives me nuts! Heard a noise on my 04 Ram the whole first summer I had it. Checked them all several times...couldn't find it. Then one day I get a block from home and felt one of the front wheels about to fall off. Of course it failed the coldest day of that winter.

[@beluxauto5968]

@@CumminsDriver100 lucky me lives in a country where it gets between - 20° and - 30° Celsius from November till April. As a service mechanic I know how that feels 👌👌

[@themechanic6117]

"fix what's broken first". thanks for the upload

[@JoesAutoElectric]

You bet

[@aqdavis16]

This is the exact problem I’m having with my truck. Thanks for making this video

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Joe informative video. You can’t fix or troubleshoot a prior till you fix what’s obviously broken and then go from there. Thanks for sharing stay safe and well Artie 👍👍👍

[@thebaldmechanichardatheari1124]

Personally I prefer either a shifter on the column or on centre console. Nice quick diagnosis just like Keith. Stay safe🇨🇦

[@lovetolearn5253]

Same here, keep it simple. For instance some evap systems. A good chevy system works fine easy to diag most important cheap to repair. I'll diagnose anything but it p#sses me off when the over complicate something so simple. It's almost like they don't want you to repair it.

[@neilmurphy845]

And it'll never brake

[@jamesu]

Thanks for the video Joe. I had a 2020 Colorado indicate left front ABS sensor. I showed the customer where his brand new truck didn't have the screw tightened down and he sensor was sticking up 1/4 out of the hole. works good now

[@JoesAutoElectric]

Quality control at its finest.

[@jamesu]

@@JoesAutoElectric Three months in, it vibrated out of the hole????

[@wyattoneable]

I like your approach to issues Joe.

[@JoesAutoElectric]

Thank you Wyatt

[@geraldmartin3625]

That was too easy Joe, we need some more rant videos😂

[@tonywestvirginia]

:D

[@g2b233]

Joe, all too often the most important part of a diag is not performed (and I love how you stress this repeatedly): the visual inspection. Too often, at least in my experience here in Cleveland, if a code is thrown most techs around me just assume what's thrown must be bad (and this goes for DIYers too). I wholeheartedly agree with you.... LOOK AT THE DAMN THING FIRST..... you can often find the problem by just looking at it and then thinking about how the code could be thrown(got this from Ivan..... the criteria for the code to be thrown).

[@jdtractorman7445]

This happened to me on my 98 F-150 when I still had it about 10 years ago. The right front bearing had a ton of play in it yet not making any noise at all, strange. Had it at a muffler shop doing some exhaust work. They said well we can fix your exhaust, the other problem we have to talk about is your right front wheel is about to fall off, couldn't believe how bad it was.

[@JoesAutoElectric]

Checking vehicles over regularly is so important man.

[@firstlast---]

A bad wheel bearing preventing you from going into gear. Crazy. Fca products are so strict about what gear they're in, most models have a simple neutral over ride but others like the charger for example require you to remove a panel that you can't put back properly because it's glued in from the factory, and half the time you can't even pull the lever without breaking it. Whenever I do an alignment on those I install the brake depressor just enough to activate the brake pedal switch while still being able to roll the vehicle. As long as it thinks your foot is on the brake it will stay in neutral all day long. Good video joe

[@JoesAutoElectric]

Lol actually no. That was me being dumb. All the other symptoms though. When I went to move it I didn't have the door closed all the way. Bug dummy, I know.

[@firstlast---]

@@JoesAutoElectric Yep that will do it lol. I still think the auto park thing is way too strict, what happens if you're going through a car wash and theres a malfunction? I can't imagine it would be good to suddenly get thrown into park when the tracks are still moving

[@automotiveradiator1528]

Dodge had a recall on 2013 Rams (among others) due to bad steering column harnesses

[@mikeoneill7360]

Yep, diagnosing is the #1 objective....

[@leedress2187]

I had a 2001 alero. Driving to JFK Airport the warning lights lit up like a Christmas tree. ABS, Brake, etc.. scared the crap out of me. Turned out to be a broken wire going to the right front speed sensor. After I fixed it there were no codes present.

[@JoesAutoElectric]

Nice fix man!

[@PinBall3]

Key words > _Common Sense_ < Unfortunately that`s missing from a lot of aspects today some have it and some think they have it. Your Diagnostic approach is not a Default Parts Cannon is something we all can learn from....

[@justsumguy2u]

That's a great job of putting together the clues, and it makes sense to fix what you know is broke before going further. Typical Fiat-Chrysler, a bad wheel bearing when it's only 7 years old. And my landlord just bought a brand new $60K Ram dually...

[@IAMNOSLEEP]

Thanks for sharing Joe... Cheers.

[@jimmcgettigan1326]

Did the codes come back and did the new hub fix it?

[@shaunhallman4198]

Good vid..i just installed new wheel bearings..came with new speed sensors .now my service 4x4 abs light are comming on and now engine light..p0869 and p0933..shifts hard..i reset the engine light it goes off the teuck drives ok..but other lights are still on..i had to hard wire the left feont speed sensor..due to the clip breaking..i may have crossed them..anuly ideas?:(

[@billziegmond4943]

Great diag. Visual inspection finds a lot of problems.

[@neverstoplearning382]

Another great video. Best regards.

[@crawling86]

Hey Joe I appreciate your videos sir I've recently replaced both of my hubs and both of my back speed sensors and I'm still having the same problem. Could my back wheel bearings be out and make my speed sensors not read correctly cause they are brand new? I guess I gotta go back to the common sense thing and maybe we'll go to backtires.

[@timothyputzke1250]

Good catch!

[@JoesAutoElectric]

Thanks!

[@jeramiet154]

I called a wheel bearing as soon as I read the video title lol

[@kennethbode2017]

fix what you find. he had some good Eagles playing!

[@chuckgrenci6404]

Yep, that's my station of choice too.

[@blackscotydog]

A 2013 truck has a shot hub bearing....... FCA quality control at work. Seen all kinds of these bearings make it 175 to 200 k.

[@tallll70]

Quality control works for assemblies and post build functionality, they have no way to control quality of random bearing failures made by suppliers like Timken, SKF... Those are standard manufactures used by many car makers even high performance builds

[@jeffreypugh5191]

I just found a video of you with a brake out box are you going to be doing anything else useing a brake out box??

[@joshcontreras8941]

My abs light came on and cruise control and my 4x4 don’t work no more what could it be ? Just the sensor ?

[@JoesAutoElectric]

If you want to know the root cause, it needs to be diagnosed. That's why we test.

[@danielvelas]

Where is the follow up video?

[@SuperJoes70]

Did the wheel bearing solve the problem and did this affect the cruise control just curious thanks again !!!

[@JoesAutoElectric]

it did sir

[@neilmurphy845]

So basically dodge problems

[@lonwillis783]

Do you prefer Chrysler products Joe ? 😀

Oh a comedian! LOL
