For the Dodge mechanics out there...What is a 1491 or P01491 code? My "Check Engine" light came on yesterday and had a buddy check it out on his scanner. Unfortunately, his book only goes up to 999. I don't notice any change in the way it runs or any odd sounds.
Thanks,
Mike

 

Im no mechanic, but from what I found check your 25 amp radiator fan fuse.

It seems to be a radiator fan problem, and judging by google, is fairly common (enough to fill the first page of results) on 2002 1500 rams.

 

Yup,

P1491 Chrysler Radiator fan relay control circuit

 

Thanks for the posts!
I looked into it a little more and found out that it is an A/C Condenser Fan Problem. I looked at the fuses and the #39 A/C Condenser Fan fuse is blown. I put another fuse in and hit the A/C and it blows again. So, I unplug the fan put in another fuse, hit the A/C and it is ok. As soon as I plug in the fan, it blows. The fan free-wheels but it still could be a short in the fan itself. Price of the fan..$47 from dealer. They also said I would need the shroud and wiring for $135 and $9.25 respectively. I'm not sure why I would need the shroud and wiring

Did you know on a newer generation Ram...
Turn on the key 3 times (without starting) that the digital odometer will kick out the error code

With the key on...
Hold the trip meter button for 3 seconds, the engine hours is displayed

I thought that it was kinda cool..
Thanks for the help,
Mike

 

No problem.

Im near long beach as well, What dealer are you taking it to?

I havent had mine that long, do you have a local dealer you trust around here?

 

I take mine to Glenn E. Thomas on Cherry Av. and Spring St. They're a reputable dealer that has been in the area for a coupla hundred years or so...;0)
