Default 2006 Dodge ram 2500 TIPM Fuel Relay issue

Does anyone have a quick fix for this issue instead of paying the dealership dam near 2000 dollars to replace the whole box?

I just need to know which area in the box to supply power to from one of the extra power areas.

An 07 says from the M7 to the M25 but the 2006 model doesn't say anything about the fuel relay areas in it.

You can get a new tipm for around $700, and some have had luck with plug and play, but you might need a dealer to program it. $2000 is way high.

I just did a quick Google search and they are selling for under $300.

Thank you all for your input, I looked on Rock auto and they had it for 200. So my issue was the fuel pump. It went out on me. Probably because for the past 10 years Ive had it, I figured out that when the gas light comes on, I can still drive until the needle gets to the little tick mark. Ive never ran out of gas but driving it while its that low on fuel, it sucks all the sediment into the fuel pump and causes it to have to work harder. Well it worked hard enough and it quit on me sunday. Still have to get the TIPM checked out to see why the alternator is charging at 14 and a half tho. Its causing my battery to over charge and eventually overflow acid.

I used to do that regularly, especially when gas was near $5. It killed my pump as well!! I don't do it anymore! That was a bitch of a job!

That was 5 or 6 years ago when it was that high.
