I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Off Road Package 5.9L V8. I went to start it this morning and I got nothing. Good power in the truck. Headlights were good, interior lights ok. Tested battery and it was good. When I turn the ignition on no gauges turn on or move. No ABS light, nothing. I get the door adjar or key in the ignition bell. The keyless entry still works. When I try to crank it no sound it heard at all. No clicks no nothing. The radio turns off but the headlights still burn as well as interiors lights.

Like I said good battery contacts. Good Battery as we tested it. But no gauges! Is there something wrong with my computer or maybe a fuse? PLEASE HELP!!!!

check your fuses in the cab, and check your power distribution box, if power is getting to your starter it should at least go tick tick tick or at least turn the motor sluggishly.

 

I checked all the fuses. All are ok. Just seems weird that I get no gauges moving when the ignition is turned on to ACC. No gauges move no ABS light nothing. What would cause this?

 

problem may lie in your steering column, you may have to whip out the circuit tester and start poking wires to see if they are recieveing +12v power, check out your wiring diagram from the service manual available here (search for the merry christmas thread) you may have a broken wire somewhere. start searching nearest the gauges or steering column then go back towards the fuse block, good luck
