#82 of 320 Blinking Red Light by roxana

Oct 24, 2008 (3:20 pm)

I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500. I got home this afternoon and 1hr later I go to start it and it would'nt start. Power locks, windows, lights, and dash don't work except for a little red light in the dashboard that blinks when I open the door. Nothing happens when I turn the key. Any suggestions on what it could possibly be and the meaning of that blinking light?

I have an 03 Ram with the hemi.
I recently had my fuel pump replaced and I now have this DTC, P0440 Evap Sys Perf.
What should I be looking for. The truck is out of warranty and hopefully I can find a quick fix.
Thanks

i had the same code on 2002 Ram 1500. look under bed. drivers side in front of back tire. their is a black box & a round black canister. check all the hoses around these canisters. i had one hose cracked into. $8.68 later lite was out. or there is one more thing to check is your gas cap tight? or bad seal on gas cap will give you same code

I am an American in Canada, truck has been sitting for a few months. i start truck on weekends to keep it operational. Replaced the battery about 2 weeks ago following cold snap. Recent cold snap (-30degrees C) last night and car will not start today. Security light blinks. Battery is fine. Truck is shut down in security mode- no locks, lights, gages, etc.

If anyone else is having this problem...it was fixed by the dealer by replacing the cruise control switch.

#89 of 320 P0505 Code by glrsr1951

My 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 V8 is throwing a P0505 code, "Idle Control System Malfunction." Idles and runs fine. Anybody know how to fix?

There are four types of codes:
 
1. Codes that clear immediately if the problem goes away, such as an intermittent.
 
2. Codes that will clear 20-40 restarts after the problem goes away.
 
3. Codes that clear after so many complete trips (ie: start cold, warm-up, drive, cool down).
 
4. Codes that must be cleared manually with the DRB3 diagnostic tool.
 
It is possible there was a fault detected momentarily, but the problem went away during subsequent vehicle operation, probably in the same trip. This may resurface again.

Dusty

#91 of 320 Emission control system warning light by John1868

Dec 22, 2008 (6:36 pm)

I have a 2006 Ram 1500 quad cab with the Hemi engine. I recently turned over 20,000 miles and a "check engine light" came on. The light is not flashing and the manuel says it might be on because it is a scheduelled maintinance thing. I dont know the trouble code or even how to get it. Is there somone who knows how to get the code or if there is a function to shut the light off on the dash?
