Oxygen Sensor Wire Harness Burnt
I was driving the truck last weekend and the check engine light came on. The code is P0037 be the check engine light cleared before I got back home from a camping trip. I thought it would be the sensor so I bought one but I got under the truck today and I notice the wire harness burnt just up from the connector for the bank 1 rear sensor. How is this wire harness supposed to be tied up to keep from touching the exhaust? The dealership replaced my transmission about 2 months. There is nothing keeping this cable from contacting the exhaust. Is this wiring normally attached to the transmission. I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500.

I had the same thing happen when I pulled my transmission to swap converters. There was some wiring attached to the transmission and when I reinstalled the trans I forgot to reattach it. Luckily I noticed it before any wires got burnt. Sounds like your dealerdealer forgot to reattach the wires. I would see if you can get them to pay for the repair.

I don't think it exposed the inner wire but it did melt the plastic and the insulation around the set of 4 wires. For now I taped the wire and hanging it away from the exhaust. When I first got if back I notice a vent hose hanging down from the truck. He did not bother to zip-tie the transfer case vent hose. Not sure how it was originally attached but I am guessing a plastic clip to the transfer case.
