Hey y'all I have a 96 Ram 1500 5.9L 4x4 SLT. The "ambient air temp sensor" broke well not the sensor but the actual pigtail that plugs into the sensor. I cannot for the life of me find any sort of part number or where I can just get the pigtail plug from. Anyone have any suggestions on this?

Or chat with the dealer. Connector 114. They should be able to get one.

Actually headed out right now to a u-pull yard so hopefully I'll have some luck. I'll let you guys know when I find some more info on this stuff. Not an easy thing to just look up it seems.

Picked up the pigtail from the U-Pull Yard. Paid a total of 4.30 for entrance fee and part. Dodge dealership wants $30.xx for it so if anyone else has this problem be sure to check out the junk yard first! If anyone wants a photo let me know.

1996 Ram 1500 Overhead Console Trouble
So I posted a topic on the wire harness for the ambient temperature sensor yesterday finally got a new harness from a u-pull yard. Hooked everything up seems fine but then I turn the truck off and it doesn't read any information to the overhead console display. I unplugged the ambient temp sensor then back in and it worked fine till I turned the truck off again. Does anyone know what the cause of this might be? Also the buttons on the console read Comp./Temp. when I press that button when it did display info it read the temp outside and the compass direction. For a 96' is there a way I could get it to read my miles till empty or mpg on this thing?

I'm confused. LOL You have a 95 with a 96 overhead in it? Maybe the 95 being OBD1 can not do mpg's? Don't know, just throwing that out there.
