Ok. Was hoping not to buy a new sensor if that's not my main problem.

 

Is there a main fuse or fuseable link on a 96 Ram 1500? I was driving home last night and lost all power. Engine died. Lights died. Everything. I haven't had a chance to look at it. Just looking for advice before I start.

 

In the PDC under the hood, right behind the battery. I think it's like a 140 amp fuse.

 

The one in the distribution center is for the alternator(120+).

 

Well the truck started right up. Now I can't trust it to get me home.

 

Did you change anything? Touch anything? Or did you walk out, try and start it, and it fired right up?

 

I unhooked the battery when I got out because I figured there was a short somewhere and didn't want a fire. Hooked it up and started it.

 

That's just bizarre. Wonder if that battery clamp is having issues?

 

The negative clamp has a crack. It needs changed. But I wouldn't think that would cause the issue. I started the truck and unhooked each cable with no change.

 

Sure could......
