In this video I have a look at a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins that came in with a short list of things that stopped working. They include but are not limited to the radio, intermittent wipers, the power seat, dash lights, marker lights, and dome lights. Customer told me it had been a long time sense they last worked. -Enjoy!

Put in an they tried hooking the dimmer wire to the light under the radio an everything went out …. Any suggestions????

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SITH4MMER55 says:

    Thanks! This gives me some direction as to where to start tracking my power issues

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jeff sancinati says:

    I went to BBB's website on 2/19/2022 and this is what I saw. (BBB no longer offers TSBs and wiring diagrams. We apologize for the inconvenience).

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dana Scarr says:

    Logic is key.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Money Grip says:

    Nastf…… that's factory antitheft/ key programming right?

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Albert Lara says:

    Great work buddy im gonna try it on my i have that same issue i will keep u updated

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Legg says:

    I just checked BBB and like my girlfriend they no longer give it away for free.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Dunlop says:

    I'm sorry , When Eric said the dashboard lights are on I couldn't see past the dirt .

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Small Engine Repair says:

    I feel like people remove the fuses on purpose to know what the problem is but they take it to mechanics to see if they’ll get ripped off for something that wasn’t the cause of the problem that’s just me though

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Willie says:

    My first thought was that this truck was a peice of shit but than when you showed us the rest of the truck, my thoughts were, why bother fixing that peice of shit. I would have driven that to a junk yard.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jamie211983 says:

    Someone's testing your honesty🧐

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John BEE says:

    You passed the test Mr.O. This sure feels like a set up to check your integrity.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars WouterB76 says:

    Watching this, i got a bit con-fused.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stephen Irwin says:

    I guess the owner was “con”fused…..

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Scott says:

    Good information Eric

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars gunsaway1 says:

    Curious to where fuse went

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Knorr says:

    If he has overloaded the fuse because of the additional items, measure the amperage and add 10%.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Knorr says:

    Sounds like a blown fuse, at least.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gerald Fields says:

    Did you try to sell him on a wash job?

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeffrey Wilson Rubik's Cube on Beat says:

    Do you ever take the time to submit the errors that you find on the mitchell diagrams to mitchell?? Apperently they update the system frequently and correct errors that customers point out.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars genegeneish says:

    I like doing electric diag. You can make a lot friends or a gf by fixing the " from the day I bought it".

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ivan Olsen says:

    It's not like it just jumped out by itself … someone knows when it was removed

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars CryptoNoob says:

    Unfortunately, bbb industries seems to have removed their diagrams. The site is down, or no active links…… I'm at my witts end here. I've been working on this 2007 Chrysler sebring for over a month. Fixed the 62te solenoid pack issue, now I've got a u0024 and u0019 on my can bus b circuit. Seems to be a broken wire between the airbag module and both door modules. I had both doors torn apart and half the dash, tested the wiring from each door module to the connectors just past the hinge, both side test fine, looks like I'm going to have to tear the entire dash apart to get to that airbag module under the radio…. I've really reached my limit of patience on this thing. I've spent 100s and 100s and 100s of hours doing research online, only half of which you can rely on,and herein lies my dilemma. I'm just trying to help my mother out, but I'm at a loss of knowledge here now…. I wish I was one of those assholes who just calls your shop Eric, but I'm not one of those guys. I'm literally about to tow it down to your shop 5 hours from me…. I just want to learn how the hell to fix it… Sorry for the long winded reply.
    Sherman from Malone NY, frustrated….

    10 seconds into the video, I’m thinking this one is a case of the green crusties on wires or relays. Let’s see if I’m right.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars chris maplethorpe says:

    This proves always check the basics first before getting too involved in fault finding. I always check the simple things first in my job as an electrician

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Salvador Gutierrezr says:

    👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joe Lund says:

    Don't you just love it when somebody else Mickey mouse the car TRUCK up how fun

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Judge Roy Bean says:

    If I could do it … spend a couple hundred a month for schematics… you can do it …

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Donnie Robertson says:

    Second time watching

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Oickle says:

    Well there's your problem lady!

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Frey says:

    I know what not to buy know. I thought my bmw is a pain its simple compared to Chrysler junk

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RJB says:

    It's only $15 for a car wash.
    So this guy is going to pay about $80+ for a missing fuse. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dan Farrell says:

    It's pretty obvious after watching a couple dozen of your videos, that I can't do it, nearly as well as you.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dan Labelle says:

    After market bull shit again

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Q Rm says:

    Did you ever find out where the fuse wen?

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jeff James says:

    The car worked , so the fuse was there. The car didn't work and the fuse is gone. Where'd the fuse go? Did I miss something?

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jay Kay says:

    I have the same '99– way better shape– whenever I have something fishy going on with the electrics, I always visually scan that fusebox under the hood first. Great vid– thanks.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BR549 says:

    Primary problem is that it's a Dodge. My horse stalls are cleaner then the inside of that truck.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SomeGuyInSandy says:

    Thanks for the DIY links!

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mytwistedvoices says:

    Wire schematics? I have used Haynes or Chilton's manual to a very good results.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Larry Ehrlich says:

    If you don't like getting pulled over by the Police for what seems like no reason…go out and check all your lights…especially the two very small license plate lights. Don't give the Police a fishing license to stop you…go check your lights…right now!

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wes Hawkins says:

    That’s my truck, almost. Mines much cleaner. I forget how much the winter conditions destroy vehicles back there.. Who do you use for your wiring diagrams? Oops, should have watched through to the end to see see your explanation of where you get your wiring diagrams. Thank you.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rocco Mauro says:

    The Old missing fuse trick😄😄

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars joblessalex says:

    He was probably testing to see if you were honest or not. A single fuse, easy to diagnose. Doesn't cost a ton to fix and now you know you weren't upsold on a whole rewire job.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eric Buck says:

    Scotty kilmer pulled the fuse to make fun of another dodge product

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff Jankiewicz says:

    The fuse went to a parallel dimension! lol. I need to get the diagrams for cars in my family. I love learning how to diagnose and fix my vehicles. Diagrams help. Thanks again for posting Prof. O.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ron S says:

    But can she do it?
