I just tried starting my 2009 ram 1500 with my spare key and the whole system went bonkers. Windshield wipers won't stop. all engine lights on, it runs but says I have no gas parking brake light engine light all acting crazy. Anyone know what's going on?

I would laugh, but right now that's not funny.

 

If it were me I would disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 minutes and re-connect. Some say that you have to pull the radio fuse first. Hope that helps.

 

I just called roadside assistance. It was going to the shop tomorrow for the sunroof leaking anyway. Without the speedometer or turn signals, I'm not gonna drive it.

 

Turns out the sunroof leak was the cause of the electrical problems. Water leaked into a 16 pin connector in the dash and caused the whole system to freak out. All is fixed now. I see that the sunroof leak is a known issue.
