can you disable chime ?
My truck will turn the grid light on & chime 10 times several times a day. I`ve had it at the dealer twice or three times & they say it's a bad ground. I've cleaned both ends of my grounds, & even run a second ground from the battery to the frame. I've also run a second wire from the engine to the frame. No codes. I can live with the light but the chiming always seems to go off when I'm on the phone or someone is in the truck with me. It's embarrassing. I can't remember how many times people have ask me why I don't get my truck fixed. I wish I could. Is there any way to disable the chime? It seems to be the same one that goes off when you have a door not shut.

From: In Oroville, Ca., same house for past 46 yrs!
you probably have a light bulb with an element gone. Usually the light will come on the dash to alert you of a malfunctioning light b ut if it's an intermittent element (not burned out but broken at the tip making ocassional contact) it will chime and light the alert icon on the dash so fast you don't see it.
Check the rear bulbs first, usually the brake lights, they are notorious for being to blame.
I had this happen for two weeks until the element finally broke completely. That's how I found out.
Now, I know of a dozen guys who've had their trucks do the same thing.

Thanks for the advise. I'm going outside now ( in the rain) to see if that's the problem. I went by the dealer today again & asked if they had any more suggestions & they said it was probably the engine module. Thanks again.

I didn't think of that, good idea. I crawled under the truck & located what I think is the reverse switch. It's on the drivers side on the transfer case. It's not getting any fire. I'll check the fire to the trailer.

Errrrmmmmm....... No!
Transfer case would be your 4x4 engagement light in your dash.
Auto tranny, no wires on the tranny I would guess the switch to either be part of the control module for the truck or part of the shift selector on the column.
There are a lot of electrical parts of the truck that are routed through the control module.
I don't have a wiring diagram to say what goes where.

Found this on another site....
Sounds like your problem?

I cut out the flash process part.
SUBJECT:
Flash: Diagnostic Enhancements For Fuel System
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin provides Engine Control Module (ECM) software enhancements to improve
robustness to fuel system issue detection and two new Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's).
This bulletin involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Engine Control Module
(ECM) with new software.
Diagnostic procedures for these new DTC's are included in this Service Bulletin on the last
2 pages which may be printed.
The two new injector Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) for excessive injector return flow
are:
· P1222 - LEAK DETECTION DURING MOTORING
· P1223 - LEAK DETECTION BASED ON QUANTITY BALANCE
**When the fault(s) occur, a solid Wait to Start lamp will illuminate in the cluster along with
chiming 10 times. When the fault goes inactive, it will clear the wait to start lamp with no
chimes**.
NUMBER: 18-006-12
GROUP: Vehicle Performance
DATE: February 04, 2012
MODELS:
2004.5 DR Ram Truck (2500/3500 Pick Up)
2005 - 2007 DH Ram Truck (2500 Pick Up)
2006 - 2007 D1 Ram Truck (3500 Pick Up)
NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with a 5.9L Cummins Diesel Engine
(sale codes ETC or ETH).
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE P1222 - LEAK DETECTION DURING MOTORING
NOTE: For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
When engine is motoring (i.e. Engine is running, but requires no fuel injection) the only
required fuel delivery to the rail is due to natural leakage in the system. The natural
leakage depends directly on the rail pressure. A definite amount of fuel is required to
overcome the natural leakage, for different fuel pressures. The Engine Control Module
(ECM) sets Leakage Detected, when the fuel flow exceeds an expected value. When a
leak is detected in the system, a counter is initiated. When the counter reaches a
predetermined value a fault is set and engine derate is enabled. When the leak is not
detected the counter counts down, and once the counter becomes zero the engine is set
back to normal running conditions.
**A solid Wait to Start lamp will illuminate in the cluster along with chiming 10 times.
When the fault goes inactive, it will clear the wait to start lamp with no chimes**.
· When Monitored: Engine is motoring and at operating temperature with no fuel
system and engine speed related DTC's.
· Set Condition: Counter reaches a calibrated value.
Possible Causes
EXCESSIVE INJECTOR RETURN
NOTE: Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before
proceeding.
OTHER DTC's PRESENT
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, select View DTC's. Are there any other fuel system related DTC's
present along with this DTC?
a. Yes >>> Perform the diagnostics for the other fuel system DTC's before proceeding.
b. No >>>> Perform the INJECTOR RETURN FLOW TEST procedure.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE P1223 - LEAK DETECTION BASED ON QUANTITY
BALANCE
NOTE: For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
There is a required amount of fuel required by the fuel system to keep the system stable.
The amount of fuel required depends on fuel pressure, injection quantity, engine speed,
and coolant temperature. The Engine Control Module (ECM) sets Leakage Detected, when
the fuel flow exceeds an expected value. When a leak is detected in the system, a counter
is initiated. When the counter reaches a predetermined value a fault is set and engine
derate is enabled. When the leak is not detected the counter counts down, and once the
counter becomes zero the engine is set back to normal running conditions.
**A solid Wait to Start lamp will illuminate in the cluster along with chiming 10 times.
When the fault goes inactive, it will clear the wait to start lamp with no chimes**.
· When Monitored: Engine is running above low idle speed and at operating
temperature with no fuel system and engine speed related DTC's.
· Set Condition: Counter reaches a calibrated value.
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.
