1st post please dont crucify
I recently purchased a new to me 2006 ram 2500 quad cab 5.9ctd auto 4x4. I have searched the forms don’t think I have found my answer.
the issue is the ring around the park light does not light sometimes and when I get out that stupid alarm out of park alarm goes off. I am trying to figure out what switch to replace. the truck is in park I can be in the truck while its running put it in park on a hill and it does not roll. I tried calling a couple local dealers here and they want me to bring it in. I feel competent in replacing just about anything if I know what I am hunting for.
In my searches I think it’s the NSS but I guess I am looking for a conformation and a diagram if at all possible.
- previously had a 00 ram 1500 sport reg cab with, 2500 suspension 8in lift, 38x13.5 and was a great truck for the last 10 years but I lost number 8 cylinder while pulling my boat (1996 mastercraft prostar 205) on July 4th and felt that it was good enough reason to finally let her go and upgrade.
looking forward to my next 10 years in this dodge and hopefully with this form.

Welcome to the Forum!
No questions is a dume question. Try doing a search for your issue. Use the least amount of words to describe want your looking for.
I don't have an answer to your question. I hate the out of park alarm as well. I get it all the time failing to shut the door when working with the trailer.

Welcome to DTR and congrats on your new to you truck!
This is from another thread and just might be some help. It is the only answer I have and I am sure other will chime in. This might get you in the right direction at least.
And this is from a post on this same section here

Hope it helps ya!

hope this helps, as this is out of the 04 year;;;
upon electronic messages received from the electronic
Transmission Control Module (TCM) over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus. If the transmission range sensor mux circuit is
open and no electronic messages are received from
the TCM within two seconds, the instrument cluster
circuitry will not display any gear selector position
until the condition is resolved or until the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs
first.
² Resolved Circuit - If the transmission range
sensor mux circuit is resolved, the cluster circuitry
controls the gear selector indicator display based
upon the resistance value of the hard wired input
from the transmission range sensor. If the cluster is
configured for an automatic transmission with a
transmission range sensor input and detects a short
to ground or an open in the transmission range sensor
mux input, the instrument cluster circuitry will
not display any gear selector position in the VFD.
The VFD display for the short-to-ground and open
circuit conditions will continue until the condition is
resolved or until the ignition switch is turned to the
Off position, whichever occurs first.
² Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the gear selector indicator
VFD will display all of its characters at once during
the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the VFD and the cluster control circuitry.
On models with a TCM, the TCM continually monitors
the transmission range sensor, then sends the
proper gear selector indicator position messages to
the instrument cluster. On models without a TCM,
the instrument cluster continually monitors the hard
wired transmission range sensor multiplexed input.
For further diagnosis of the gear selector indicator or
the instrument cluster circuitry that controls this
function, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For further
diagnosis of the transmission range sensor on
models without a TCM, (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/
TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RE/TRANSMISSION
RANGE SENSOR - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING) or (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/
TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 46RE/TRANSMISSION
RANGE SENSOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
On models with a TCM, for proper diagnosis of the
transmission range sensor, the TCM, the PCI data
bus, or the electronic message inputs to the instrument
cluster that control the gear selector indicator,
a DRBIIIt scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

You may have to go to the dealer, as this indicates the truck is not in park and some would inadvertenly go into reverse, a TSB was ordered by dodge to flash the computer to have the "hORN" sound a alarm, the truck was not in park, reguardless of the actual condition. I believe your truck came with this already activated. And once done there is no undoing. N T S B safety.
