Check all the battery connections, & battery condition. I've seen similar issues with bad connections.

corygale

cleaned them all and still the same is like there is a switch turned off no fuel pump nothing engaging is the a main wire with inline fuse or something i should be checking??

corygale

OK narrowed it to ignition, then unhooked the immobiliser and used a jumper wire and bang everything came on truck cranked but did not start so im thinkin it the immobilser locked up or malfunctioning and suggestions or do i just replace it ??? and if or why would this be set off and do its job . this truck is never locked , ever ??
anyone have any issues with these lil units before
thanks people

Are you sure you batteries are charged up? The computer uses juice even when the truck is off, and after a month most batteries are totally discharged because of this parasitic current.

unplugged imobilizer used small jumper wire in the plg and she cranked over like crazy das lit up fuel pump running all was fine but just didnt start. so it has to be the immobilser just dont know why ??batteries are at 12 volts i charged them first when she wouldnt crank
thanks guys still confused as to what happen i parked the truck there she worked fine

Some immobilizers interrupt more than one circuit on the vehicle. Is it possible that an ECM-related circuit is still being disabled and you need to add another jumper?

corygale

anyone know what one of these things cost or what may have caused it or is there an easy fix ???? hung high and dry here home for 2 weeks and gonna be under the hood , this after puttin new motor in , love the ctd but losin faith worst is layin her up so long i guess,

k so heres the deal, using a jumper in the imobiliser plug i get dash lit up fuel pump running but still no power to the dlc so i cannot read/scan for codes or clear them. This is really bugggin me i got a prettty expensive pile of scrap here now, so how do i find out why there is no power to the dlc ?? is this the work of the imobiliser as well the scanner doesnt get power and the ignition can be off and everytthing is still a go because of the jumper in the imobiliser plug. What can i do here guys dealership is 2 hrs way plus dont like them , or what they do any suggestions are welcome and appreciated , tried unhookin bats for an hour, charge is good in them, what am i missing all fuses and grounds are good far as i can tell, i do believe one of my tires are locked up a sticky abs or something wouldnt cause this would it ??
HELP PLEASE

corygale

anyone??

bigwheels94

Sounds like you need a shop manual. With that you could run power to the pins in the ecm to power, & wake it up, etc. & run codes. Otherwise, I'm afraid you're SOL. Sorry. I have the manuals for the cummins engines, but they aren't the same as the Dodge so I can't help more than that.

do my key have a chip in it ? how do i know? and could all this be caused by a bad key?? i only have the one key i got only one when i bought frome dealer?? or is there no chip in my key?? my truck is 04.5 or am i barking up the wrong tree here thanks in advance by the way great site.

Only the 07+ trucks have a chiped key as far as I know. My 04.5 definitly has no chip. Also, my friends 07 has the chip, & with an aftermarket key with no chip, the truck started, & runs for about 10sec., & dies.
Your issues could be caused by the ign. switch tho.

corygale

off to the *********** i guess im outa options thanks for all the input guys
