Default just wasted $500 on ctm replacement

truck has the infamous doors locking constantly and also dome light flashing/gate a jar problem while accelerating. took the truck in for a new ctm 500 bucks later still have the same prob... fought with the *** holes at the service center they they said the ctm was bad either way even though it didnt fix any of my problems. i unpluged everything from the rear gate and the door a jar/ dome lights still flash when i drive. its sooooo annoying. what if i cut the wire right before the ctm that goes to the switch?

You have two problems. The locks are easy for the dealer to fix and diag if they would have simply looked. It is TSB 08-023-03. The book provides them less than an hour to repair it, even out of warranty. That means it is a very inexpensive and cheap repair. 4 years after my fix, nada a problem since with it.

Here is your lock solution from my first forum post ever, anywhere:

I recall hearing about the light issue, but I can't put a finger on it. I'll look. In the meantime, pull the fuse and make that dealer refund your money after the above fix works for your locks.

CTM = drivers side on yours if you see the amp on the pass side.

With that said, what are you messing with the (new) CTM for?
