Need Help!!! Electrical problems
Hi
i have a 2012 ram 1500 and about 2 months ago my Tire pressure light came on so I checked the tire pressure on the dash and front right tire reads - -. And then a day or so later my Trailer light brake disconnect came on and CF on trailer brake flashes and service 4wd and traction control all come on at same time.
also randomly my Electronic throttle control comes on and truck Boggs down and then goes off. Those lights are all randomly coming on. Tire pressure light stays on.
i took to shop and they said it was the WIN. So I had them replace for $1000 and all my lights came back on in 20mins of driving. Any ideas?

In addition to returning to the shop that didn't fix anything, how old is the battery in the truck? Considering these issues are all electrical in nature, I'd be looking at something common to all. With many modern vehicles it seems that 3 years is kind of the norm for when batteries start to fail. If your battery is 3 years old or older you might consider it time to replace and it just might also fix these strange issues.

After I posted my original post I had a check engine light come on and it read bad brake switch, so I checked brakes and my brake lights were stuck on, so I just changed the switch but the other lights are still coming on intermittently
