    No HVAC airflow from any vents

    FIXED/ISSUE FOUND: Cabin air filter was damp. Removed it and running without the filter airflow is normal. Went through the car wash last night, guessing I didn't realize I had HVAC on and not in recirc mode. Lessons learned. Not deleting in hope this helps others.

    No HVAC airflow from any vents

    Started this morning. I have no, or no noticeable anyway, airflow out of any vents (to include defrost) in all mode settings and temps. Blower motor responds to speed changes as expected just no airflow coming out. So the air is blocked somewhere. Guessing a blend door/actuator just trying to...

    Truck wont stay "asleep"

    After confirming this was the issue I bought 3 new wiring harnesses and used silicone self sealing tape and 33+ electrical tape on all exposed areas. She's all good now. No clue how I've gone through 2 of wirings in 3 months, but hopefully they are sealed well enough for it not to happen again...

    I think I have it FIXED!!!!! I bought the alldata 1-yr subscription and to learn about how the layout worked I checked out the connector that was replaced back in June for my taillight staying on. Found it has can bus lines in it. Went out and pulled connector apart and it was full of water...

    Truck wont stay "asleep"

    Ok, I have pulled every fuse under the dash and under the hood (in groups of 2-4 fuses) and at no point did the cycling stop. Yes, when dash display fuse was out it didn’t light up and you heard the slight wake up pop in the audio. At this point I think it’s the can bus itself??? I get a random...

    Truck wont stay "asleep"

    This is exactly why I went ahead and replaced the battery today. Figured when/if I take it to the dealer thats the first thing they would say. Really sounds like you and I are having exactly the same/similar issue. I know this just started happening last week as I work in a secure facility...

    Truck wont stay "asleep"

    New symptom today. 3rd brake cargo lamp comes on randomly and turns on and never turns off every time you lock the truck. It’s off, you lock, it’s on. Dash indicator light for cargo lamp comes on when light comes on. I’ve also timed the sleep cycle. It sleeps for 48 seconds, on for 30, sleeps...

    Truck wont stay "asleep"

    So I left the battery disconnected overnight to see if that would change anything, it did not. Same issue, but I have a new symptom now. Go to setting on 12" display, click on icon (say lights), and settings are all missing. Is there a module that loads the settings? Not sure if its related to...

    Solved: Dead Battery, instrument panel light stays on all night

    Was the dealer able to find anything? I think what I have is the same thing: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/truck-wont-stay-asleep.44875/#post-657225

    Truck wont stay "asleep"

    I tested this today. removed phone and parked way away from everything and it continued. So in my case anyway I dont think its bluetooth/rf related.
