Unhappy Where on this forum can I go to get help?

ABS, 4x4, speedometer, cruise, odometer not working in 2006 DodgeRam1500 after someone tried finding and replace cig lighter fuse that was out. I really need my truck, can't drive in snow and icy with hill without ABS and 4x4. that was five months ago. error codes say sensor problems, don't think it is true, fuses supposedly in correct places and not blown, battery unhooked and rehooked to try to clear error, that was five months ago. After he created problem he walked away for me to deal with, I can't afford mechanic and I really need my vehicle to be safe to feel comfortable driving. Single mom really needs help!

Perhaps you should read HemiLoneStar's response to the post under your other name...

Yes, I had to re-register, new user and could not log back in for some reason.

sounds like TIPM issues to me. For a mere $900 the dealer will give you one. I believe it has to be flashed after install, so more like $1,100. What codes are popping up

Obviously before going strait to the worst thing, go take every fuse out and look at it. You will be able to spot a popped fuse. Its an 06 so there wont be that many fuses, most of the electrical stuff is controlled by the TIPM I just mentioned. If youre lucky it will be a fuse though. Also, make sure fuses are in the right location. There are a ton of empty slots in there and someone might have misplaced one

I merged your two accounts into one, you should have no issues logging in.

and it sounds like your "friend" blew out the TIPM, as Matt suggests. NOT a cheap part. Personally, I hate that they went to a TIPM in '06, was a lot easier to troubleshoot and replace a $5 relay like they had the PDC in the '05s and back.

Goto any auto parts store and have them pull the exact code(s), post them up here and we can confirm TIPM or get you pointed in the right direction. Auto parts store will pull the codes for free...
