For the one by the throttle body, you have the connector, where is the other end going? Can you post another pic?

 

Hope this is a better picture.


Wires under steering column, notice splicing. Not done by me.


Any idea why these have splices?

So I took of the the dash to try a new gage cluster, noticed these spliced wires under the steering column, thoughts?

 

What are the wires for? Wonder if you just found your problem.......

 

Ya think?
I'm going to do a little bit of "interior remodeling", see if I can't figure out where those wires go to/what they're for.

 

This is a good source for wiring diagrams for your truck.

 

Alright thanks I'll check it out 👍

 

I was thinking that wiring in there in steering column where it goes to the key on/ off is activated an communicates w ECM. .Mine sticks at times like the contacts are corroded .Worth checking out.

 

Thanks for all the help. Just fixed it last night. My buddy's friend works at dodge and told me to try cleaning the map sensor, so while I was at it looked at the throttle body and saw it was all oily, sprayed some cleaner down it, and started it up. It ran, drove, all that stuff. To make sure it wasn't a fluke, I waited 10 minutes and started it up again. It astonishes me that something so simple could cause that much of an issue. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your life to help me.
