The battery is a few years old, and was just tested to have about 370 cranking amps, but I haven't had much problem starting it this winter. Last night I went to start my truck to go to work and found my battery almost dead, for no reason. I hadn't left any lights on, nor was the temperature really that bad, maybe about -3. Then about halfway to work, the entire electrical system cut out (while I was driving, not stopped). Lights, ignition, and radio all cut right out, like someone rapidly disconnected the battery then reconnected it again. The truck started again right away, and ran fine the rest of the way.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
This is the pickup from hell... I can't get it smogged cause of random misfire codes and some stupid transmission code. (even after replacing the BCM) I've had so many "sensors" and Modules replaced, I'm at the end of my rope. I love my pickup, but I can't drive it.
Good Luck, I wouldn't wish a pickup like this one on my worst enemy.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
:sick:
all help is help so ideas would be wonderful
column stalk if the right rear blinker doesn't work and the wipers come on
by themselves.
Which brake light are you talking about? The high mount brake lamp or
the actual rear lamps when the brake pedal is applied?
Power door lock are controlled by the CTM (Central timer module) located
under the steering column area. It is also responsible for the windshield
wiper delay function.
Any other thoughts?
thx

The two solutions I know of are:
1. Replace the ECU
2. There is an aftermarket kit that uses the old external Chrylser regulator so you don't have to replace the computer. It looks like the wiring harness is a Mopar part, but I don't know & I don't have any part numbers.
Disclaimer: I haven't ordered from these people; I just happened to find their webpage.

Hope this helps.
good luck

What's going on: Is it the fuses (checked several fuses, they all seemed fine). A computer module? does my truck not like me anymore? I'm the original owner, the truck has just under 70k miles.
I intend to replace the CTM, until then this was a good (if only temp) fix.
"Often these CTM's will lock up and come back to life when power is removed from them. Remove the left sill plate, the panel at the bottom of the door opening. Then remove the left kick panel to expose the module. You will find it mounted to the sheet metal there, unplug it's three electrical connectors for a minute or two. Reconnect them and see if everything works. Most of the time the CTM will come back to life at least temporarily after this."
NOTICE: I REPLACED THE CTM MODULE BUT KEY FOBS STILL DO NOT OPERATE.
