Default 2012 Ram 1500 SLT tipm problems with cluster not working.

Over the past two years I have had this problem off and on and tried different solutions to fix it. The entire cluster would stop work and my windshield wipers would stay on. The display would go out and none of the gauges would work at that point. I have tried to see if it was a fuse problem, a connection problem and a wiring harness problem but now I believe it could be the tipm because I have also had the cluster tested. Can anyone tell me how to fix the problem or go about resetting the tipm. Also when the cluster does work at times it resets my mileage as well. The truck has somewhere around 58000 miles on it but has reset back to 54000 several times know.

The odometer should be stored in non-volatile memory, and I think that memory resides in the PCM. I don't believe that's in any way effected by the TIPM. If it's truly the odometer that is not holding memory (versus a trip odometer), this might be one of those times when a dealership is the best option for getting this resolved.

the odometer was the last thing that went out. The gauges are what went out first but sometimes when I would just take out the fuses for the instrument cluster they would work again. But every time it goes out my wipers would turn on and not go off and the display and gauges would stop working.

Default Cluster goin haywire


Been having the same issues for past 6 months I’ve changed the fuse box and reprogrammed it, I’ve changed the cluster my ac module looked for open wires in harness, changed all my abs sensors this is literally making me wanna burn my truck down, my issue also is when I hit a bump it starts to really go haywire. Any one have any luck finding the cause of this problem.

Check under the dash near the brake pedal you will see a large connector., check that connector and make sure it is in a locked position.
