2005 Dodge ram 1500 5.7l. Needing a little help here. I got off work the other day. Truck ran great going to work. Now it does nothing. I get a long beep 10 seconds to be exact. Followed by a series of 2 beeps 3 times for a total of 6 beeps. Then followed by a long 5 second beep. Anyone have any clue?

 

I was not aware that these trucks did beep codes...... Thought that was just a computer thing. Moving this to third gen ram section for ya.

 

I was trying to upload a video of what it's doing is a 44 second MP4 and is not compatible with the site

 

Yeah, the error messages are really informative, aren't they....

I think you need to few more posts to do that though. Can you host the file elsewhere, and just link it here??

 

Well it's the most annoying 44 seconds of my life I don't get it I replace the starter make sure the battery was topped off I have no codes I have no problem getting power to the starter it actually engages but it doesn't turn the engine over I manually turn the engine and it's free I just don't know where else to go with it

 

Is the starter not rolling the engine over at all? But the solenoid is engaging? I would be looking at the starter you just put in there.......

Keep in mind, the starter is controlled by a relay. Relay will click when you turn the key to start, but, you won't hear it, because its under the hood, and everything else happening is pretty loud. The solenoid on the starter, however, IS pretty loud, and it's a rather solid THUNK when it engages. Which do you think you are getting?

 

I can hear the the relays. And feel them clicking. I jump the starter and I can hear the Bendix engauge but won't turn the motor over.

 

Same behavior as the one you replaced? I would be checking the main power feed to the starter motor itself.

 

I will check the wires tomorrow. I wish there was a way I could send you that video

 

Why don't you post it on youtube?
