Default NO BUS Dodge ram 1500 SLT 4.7 2011

Started glowing "NO BUS" about 20miles ago, almost all lamps in the ODO is glowing, wipers goes full speed, turn indicators doesent work, neither horn, light switch and many other things.

where should i start looking?
have checked almost every connector in the car and cant find one which not have connection.

for background info on the specific car u can look here:

yeah i know everyone will point fingers that it is a flooded vehicle but i dont think thats the reason here


sincerely

First thing I would try is to disconnect the battery for about 20-30 minutes. This will reboot the system.

If the problem persists I would look at the ECM/PCM. You may want to disconnect any connecters and check for corrosion on the pins You can also get a spray for electronic connections which will help clean oxidation from the pins. Since the truck was submerged this might be a good Idea. Just make sure the battery is disconnected when you spray.

Check all the ground connections you can find, clean if necessary.

It is possible the ECM/PCM is bad. and will need to be replaced.

Good luck.

What LVRR said, and if that dont clear the issue, you might need the TIPM replaced.
