    Lots of sharp looking Rebels on here! Here's mine, a lift, tires & wheels, painted the RAM logo, paint matched the front brush guard to the wheels. Out at Alabama Hills, (or as I call them, Bubble Hills) on the way to the Eastern Sierras. H

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    These issues can be terribly difficult to diagnose. As an example here is a schematic of just the grounds, every ground is a potential issue. Hope you get yours resolved and share a fix here.

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    My No BUS CAN issue has not come back. I don't know what caused it and neither did the shop that checked as many connectors and grounds as they could. I did later find a wire with nicked insulation in the loom under the bed and sealed the wire with Permatex liquid wire repair. I noticed the...

    "Shift to P then Desired Gear" Error

    I did. So far so good. It started dropping into neutral, usually shortly after starting to drive it. Someone suggested cleaning the throttle body. Pulled it off and gave it a thorough cleaning, and then the drops into neutral went away, for about a year now and have not returned so far. I will...

    Mold/mildew smell from vents

    Had the wet rotting gym sock smell in my 2019 on a trip to the desert that involved cold, hot, cold, etc., weather. At first I thought our dog had an accident in the truck, but nope, coming out of the HVAC. Ended up using a pressurized sprayer to mist a commercial fungicide/biocide, into the...

    Grinding noise when turning to the right

It can be removed and installed (Pull the wheels) with the tie rod ends installed, in case you want to set it up on a...

    Grinding noise when turning to the right

    A couple months ago, I noticed an intermittent rubbing noise from the steering wheel. It sounded to me like an insulated wire rubbing against plastic. I pulled the steering wheel, looked inside the column enclosure and nothing looked amiss. Then yesterday, I got "Service Power Steering" and the...

    2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn Tailgate won’t open

    :ROFLMAO:Nailed it! I find the best way to get my tailgate working is to get back to my driveway at my house, after being in the middle of the desert futilely trying to get the tailgate open to access water cans...

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    No more codes now, and have been carrying my OBD scan tool with me. Check it about every other day. Not sure what happened or why. Took it off-roading this weekend without incident.

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    Several members suggested Alldata, so I got a subscription, and pulled more information on the codes. AD also shows the wiring diagrams. I am having to learn this as I go, but it looks like the Controller Area Network (CAN) went down. I kinda, sorta, think all these things have the Totally...

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    When you said power connections on the TIPM, was that in reference to the plugs underneath it? Just checked the topside of the TIPM, and all the fuses and relays, and a couple of the relays and the larger fuses might have been elevated by a millimeter or so, so pushed them back down straight...

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    I was able to restart it when I got home it it has operated without incident since then. I'll try checking the TIPM like you suggested when I get a few minutes. I picked up the truck today, had a chat with the technician, and they checked harnesses for continuity and looked at connectors, but...

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    Got word back from the shop, wiring harnesses are good. No corrosion on any connectors, and they were also cleaned during the process. The notorious RF hub behind the rear seat has no signs of water damage. I should be able to pickup the truck today and hope to ask more questions in person. So...

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    I heard about the module behind the rear seat getting wet from the leaky rear windows and fritzing and the bad battery. Battery is currently 12.8 volts, but will be load tested soon. It's going to get diagnosed for gremlins on Monday. So we'll see! Cellphone video of the dead gauge cluster in...

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    Had a similar experience this afternoon. It might be catchy. It started with a "Service Shifter" message and then lit up every CEL on the dash. The truck then turned up the radio volume, turned on the wipers of its own accord, kicked the engine fan to full speed, and lost power steering, and the...

    Transmission falling out of Drive on downshift, blinking, displaying "shift to P" and back

    Good morning arbitrary drop into neutral support group, Checking in, and an update today April 5, 2023 - After thoroughly cleaning the TB in August of 2022, my 2019 Rebel has not done it since.
