Hi all, an update: since my power steering was replaced, I haven’t had any issues. It was intermittent so only more time will further confirm, but so far so good. @JSTheJack95 - I read your thread and saw your pics. Seems pretty close to the issues I was having. When it acts up on you do find...

My dealer couldn’t reproduce the electrical freak out this week, but Chrysler told them to replace the steering gear ($3k) as it’s a “common failure”. Hoping this resolves my year-long battle with these electrical issues. Luckily my extended warranty will cover almost all of it. @6of36 Thanks...

@classicn Just got the same news from my dealer this week. Chrysler told them to replace the steering gear ($3k) as it’s a “common failure” to hopefully resolve my intermittent electrical issues (described a few posts up) that I’ve been battling for a year now. Ram Cares said they’d help me...

It’s been a while, but an update here: I went 10 months without the electrical gremlin until it flared up again the other day. Today it happened again, today I was ready… Thanks to the network info N7GZN posted above, I was able to find that those modules plug into a star connector under the...

I’ve also got a 2019 Ram 1500 and I believe I’m having the same issue. I’ve been fighting an intermittent CAN bus issue for about a year with no resolution. When it flares up, everything freaks out: all warnings flashing on/off, “no bus” messages, instrument panel going on/off, windshield wipers...

Wow, thanks guys, this is a ton of great info. Just need to find a few hours to go poke around and see what I can find. An update on the steering issue: I drove it again the other day and noticed that the clunk/rattle seems to present itself only after the truck has been on and idling for a...

Thanks for the info! I have checked the lights for moisture but it’s been pretty dry here in St. Louis since I got my truck back from the dealer, so haven’t seen any signs of that. Are there symptoms that would elude to a sensor issue though? I’ll be at a dead stop at a stop light and randomly...

It’s is fun! …when I get time for it… Actually talked to a couple mechanics yesterday. The first wanted no part of it, told me to take it to the dealer. The other said he’s diagnosed CAN bus issues before but since the dealer cleared the codes, he may need me to wait until it acts up again so...

I get it, it’s a frustrating experience. Mindset Mechanic also has some great videos around diagnosing CAN bus issues as well. It’s a 1975 Plymouth Duster. Stock 318 but I added a 4bbl carb, Eddy performer intake, dual exhaust. It’s nothing fancy, but fun to drive. Don’t get much time to work...

Appreciate all the info! I don’t have tinted windows, in fact, the truck is pretty much in the same shape it was when I bought it in 2019 (I’ve got a ‘75 Plymouth as my tinker toy). I did have the windshield replaced 2-3 years ago for a crack, but I don’t suspect a leak to be the issue. I tried...

I had all my warning lights go off back in July on two separate occasions. Dealer had it for a month and said it was a CAN bus issue but they couldn’t tell me what was causing it and sent it home with me last Friday. I have a BlueDriver scanner and started keeping it plugged in since then just...

Dealer ended up giving me my truck back, said it’s a CAN bus issue and they can’t find what’s causing it. Basically they told me I have to keep driving it until it gets bad enough they can reproduce it. So I guess they’re saying that despite the intermittent issue that caused it to shutdown on...

Having similar issues. Early July was driving in the rain when a bunch of warning lights came up saying traction control, 4x4, auto park, ABS, trailer brake were unavailable and needed to be serviced. Shut it off for a few minutes, restarted, issue was gone. Threw a scanner on it and had a...
