I have a 2015 EcoDiesel RAM 1500 (same as this truck except the year). My truck has the same issue with the EPS. I took it to the dealership and they want to replace the whole power steering rack ($4000). I don’t know if the dealership checked the fuses. This video could save me a lot of money and time. Most other videos show how to replace the power steering rack. This may not always be necessary, but the bottom line is to make money not to save money for the customer. This is why dealerships have a bad reputation. Thank you for showing us an honest and easy to understand video on this repair.

It was my pleasure, unfortunately it did not solve the problem. I did change the fuse on my 2013 RAM Sport 5.7 HEMI, but the steering problem persist. I am not a mechanic, so when I saw the complexity to change the rack & pinion, it seems that I am going use a professional. But is so expensive, the part is said to be between $2,000 to $2,800 and that does not include labor, it us big concern. But regardless I did learn from your video, so Muchas Gracias once more. Have a great day.

@tonymorales7152 Жыл бұрын
Hola my Friend, Yes I did, unfortunately It was to much of a big job for my mechanical skills so I used the services of a local RAM dealership due that the mechanics of the area where busy and where basically quoting the same amount than dealer and did not include two year total replacement warranty that the dealer offered. I paid $2809.00 and the dealer recommended to change ball joints and other parts, totaling $6,800. So I just did the and pinion replacements and alignment. It came out perfect but a sense of frustration and distrust of the future of the RAM came upon me so I sold it after a week, providing a total disclosure of everything I had repaired during the course of 3 years of ownership. Since I kept in beautiful conditions it was fast and easy to sell. I purchased only two weeks ago a 2022 Frontier Pro 4X with 13,800 miles and still under warranty. I believe that vehicles manufacturers should be held accountable for frequent repeatable failures or broken parts that should last the lifetime of the vehicle, under conditions usage. Thank you for asking and sorry If I shared more info than requested. Have a. great day, Tony from Puerto Rico. Saludos

Very nice diagnostics but you probably should have disconnected the ground before replacing the fuse. This can also happen when you attempt to boost with another vehicle and place the positive booster cable clamp on either of the fused posts rather than the main post of the battery. It's not necessarily caused by reverse polarity. When the vehicle being boosted starts the draw exceeds the rating of the fuse causing it to blow normally preventing components from being ruined by excessive current, in this case current would flow toward the boosted vehicle but still overloads the fuse causing it to blow. Always boost from the main + battery post. Great video brother.

That customer escaped a bullet. Glad they brought the vehicle to you. I know you treated them right. This Lucerne I just got done working on had a shop replace the water pump (3.8L) and the cooling system is full of sludgy rust and grime. I told him they did not flush the system and we should flush and clean the entire system out. I am getting it back this weekend. Some of the worse coolant I have ever seen. I just got this 2011 Jeep Laredo 4X4 that the customer says will not start. The tow truck driver told me he started it with no problem. I started it and drove it as well. Probably intermittent issue. Said she saw the battery light come on momentarily while driving. Getting ready to scan. No check engine light. Take care.

Good video indeed! What causes the electric power steering pump to continue whinning or running even if the ignition is switched off? It runs until battery drains unless I unplug the battery. This is for mini cooper s r53. It began after I was also jumping the other car and another jumper cable (+) snapped off and got attached to other cable (-) and then the issue began. The pump works as mentioned earlier and power steering is there but it just wont switch off. I did some research and discovered the FL04 fuse 100A which powers the Pump but since there is power going to the pump um confused. Its like something stuck in closed or so! Kindly advice'

So the generator duty cycle on this Laredo is 100% maxed out. 11.88 charging voltage ASD Relay codes and 1Transmission code gear ratio issue more than likely low voltage at the shift solenoids. I will let you know. Take care

I'm really hoping someone can answer my question on here. I have a 2013 ram 1500 and my power steering has stopped working also. The 10a and 120a fuses all check good but I'm still not getting a signal to my power steering at all. The power steering has worked sporadically from time to time but for the most part i get the same message on my dash as this truck. My question is this. Is there anything else I can check between the battery and the power steering itself to see if there is something else that might be the problem? I have looked everywhere for a proper diagram and can't find one anywhere. Also, I have checked the plugs that go into the power steering itself and they all are fine. What else am I missing that could keep power going to the power steering? Thanks in advance for anyone that has a suggestion.

korglp83 you might have a failing electric power steering unit! you need to check the control wires at the electric power steering unit and I'm assuming there is good power and good ground at the unit? you will need a scope to check the control voltages on the other wires, or you can take it to a pro mechanic to have it properly diagnosed!
