Hey Guys,

So... I had an actuator motor, in my 2009 Ram 1500 SLT, lose some teeth and I just so happens that it is the servo up in the far corner of the passenger side. I got the dash pulled out successfully, of course, after having disconnected the battery and allowing the resistors to lose their charge. My issue began when i finished re assembling the components and after having plugged all the harness' back in to their respective ports my truck began doing strange things immediately ie. wipers on(not able to turn off), no signal lights, no radio, tpsm light on, esp light on, low fuel warning (full tank), air bag warning, no speedometer, no interior lights when doors open, no radio although i can open and close the front and there are a few other dash lights on but i think my point has been made. So far I have replaced the multifunction switch off the steering column hoping that would recify the issue...I was WRONG haha sooo I wonder if anyone can lend some advice to help me fix this issue cost effectively

Thanks

 

take it to the dealer to have them fix your mistake.

 

I had mine do this while still under warranty; got the dealer to fix it.

 

Thanks Jayman84, I did take it to the dealership and it was loose connections in the dash, as a result of my lack of attention. However in talking with several mechanics and technicians about the issues I've had, albeit Dodge has refined their product to some degree, and the consensus was that its a "Dodge"

 

Newer vehicles are hard to tear into anymore. And dashes are a nightmare of plugs and it only takes one mistake to really mess things up. but your issue should have been handled as warranty since it was announced as a problem a while ago.

 

That is not a good thing for business and those guys should not be badmouthing the hand that feeds them. Lotsa monkeys out there that can use a computer and get told how to fix the vehicle. You can say that about a Toyota when the frame rusts or it doesn't stop..oh it's a Toyota. I have an 09 and that was a recall you should have took it and got the dealer to fix it in the first place I believe, I know mine was a recall and it started clunking after they supposedly checked and fixed it but then months later knock knock knock sounded like someone trying to get in. How much did they charge you for your screw up...might have been better of just to go get them to fix it oh well I would probably do the same and have to go with my tail between my legs
