New guy here needing some help. The other day I was driving my truck (02 dodge 2500 v8 5.9) well I was going down the road and it died. I towed it home and it started right up but then died again. I had no gauges. I went under the hood and unplugged the abs module and when I plugged it back in everything kicked on and the truck started. Now would the abs module stop the truck from running or would it be the pcm? This is my DD and I really need it. Any help would be great. I also got a no bus message on the dash when truck won't start

 

You need to troubleshoot more. Fuel, spark, fuel pressures. PCM is expensive part to throw at it.

 

When I turn the key I get nothing no gauges but when I unplugged and then plugged the abs module back in everything kicked on because I kept the key on he could here the fuel pump. It's like it has not power. All the fuses are good. But when it's acting up you don't get anything no sounds

 

Distributor cap camshaft sensor plugs and wires are only maybe a year

 

ABS module should have nothing to do with ignition and starting. Are you sure you are unplugging the ABS module?

 

Drivers side back?

 

Good battery? Clean connections? Good connections? May have a issue with the ignition switch.

 

+1 on ignition switch. Replace my buddy's on his 03 4.7. Easy and cheap, and the cause of your problem if the engine starts intermittently and you have no power to anything with the key sometimes.

 

my 5.2 had a similar issues, it was the crankshaft positioning sensor
