    Cylinder 3 Misfire after Washing Truck with very rough idling.

    All - thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to update the post with the latest info. I unplugged the negative terminal overnight and reattached it this morning. I turned it on, but it still had the issue. Had my OBDII tool hooked up and the misfires climbed up as expected. I realized that...

    Cylinder 3 Misfire after Washing Truck with very rough idling.

    It's just the stock air filter. I checked the filter itself and it was clean, but didn't think of the sensor. Did you have similar issues with rough idling and the check engine light flashing when you tried to drive mow than 20 MPH? I swapped the plugs today and the issue persists. It doesn't...

    Cylinder 3 Misfire after Washing Truck with very rough idling.

    Ironically that happened to me a few years ago, but the truck wouldn't start then. Dealer found cracks in the window frame and a wet module. Replaced the window and hub and haven't had a problem since. The truck starts fine now, just has the cylinder misfire. Sitting in it now just idling and...

    Cylinder 3 Misfire after Washing Truck with very rough idling.

    It's been about 24 hours since the truck was washed and I have idled it a decent amount. I'd hope the water would have dried up by now. The cylinder 3 coil connector is for sure try, but is there another sensor that could be wet?

    Cylinder 3 Misfire after Washing Truck with very rough idling.

    So I did reset the code and drove it, but it came back on quickly. I also swapped coil packs with another cylinder and the problem persists in cylinder 3. I was going to attempt to change the plugs next.

    Cylinder 3 Misfire after Washing Truck with very rough idling.

    Update: I decided to swap coil packs with cylinder 2 to see if anything changed. My ODB2 reader was monitoring cylinder 3 and was still misfiring. I'm assuming this is something specific to cylinder 3 now, like a bad spark plug?

    Cylinder 3 Misfire after Washing Truck with very rough idling.

    Hello all - Yesterday I washed my 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie after it inadvertently got covered in sawdust. I drove the truck before cleaning it and it was completely fine. I used a lot of water to remove the sawdust, but nothing extreme and not directly to the engine bay (hood was closed). I went...

    Uconnect 4 Update

    Where can I find these updates and a procedure on how to apply them? I need the TSB for the groan during low speed turns, and if I can save the hassle of going to the dealer that would be great.

    Key Fob Not Responding and Truck Won't Start - Possible Water Damage?

    Yes, it will not go into the accessory power mode. I was able to disarm the system by unlocking all of the doors, closing them, and then getting inside to attempt a key fob press on the PTS button. Now the door locks work, but the fob is still unresponsive. 12 inch uconnect is now prompting...

    Key Fob Not Responding and Truck Won't Start - Possible Water Damage?

    So I found a reader to use and tested on another vehicle. It's a wireless one. It needed the ignition to be in the on position, which my truck cannot get into. Some more observations today: * windows and door locks do not work (checked their Fuses, and are all good) * floor is a lot dryer...

    Key Fob Not Responding and Truck Won't Start - Possible Water Damage?

    It definitely was, until I found the horn fuse. Made it a lot easier to try to fix it. I'm going to dig around and look for a blown fuse today to save on getting it towed. I don't have a reader, but my neighbor might. I'll try that as well.

    Key Fob Not Responding and Truck Won't Start - Possible Water Damage?

    Thanks for the reply. It's a standard hemi. Yes, I tried this first. When I unlocked it and opened the door, the alarm went off for about 60 seconds. I tried to start it just as the video did, but it did not work. Every subsequent time I tried to open the door, whether inside or outside the...

    Key Fob Not Responding and Truck Won't Start - Possible Water Damage?

    Hello all, My 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie stopped responding to the key fob today, and wont even allow me to start the truck using the key fob on the PTS button. We had almost 3 inches of rain in the last few days, and I found the floor mat on the right rear side absolutely soaked. I reached back to...
