Ongoing electrical issues. It seems to be on some sort of miscellaneous rotate system. First the dashboard lights go out. Which is fine if you never drive after dark. Then the headlights go out. Again, fine if you never drive after dark AND you never get caught accidentally after dusk or never have to drive on a road where they require headlight use. These two issues alone caused me to stay housebound for months, limited to only driving when I knew I could leave and get back before dark. Then the ac went. Then the blower completely stopped working. I feel like I am driving a time bomb now.
if your instrument panel dies on your dodge ram, check your fuses (under the hood) I found a loose 10 amp fuse, re setted it and all instruments came back on line.
My truck dies while going down the road. It says "no bus". It used to start right back up or within a few minutes, now it takes 30 or 40 min before it will start. Someone told me it might be the ignition starter switch, replaced it...didn't fix it. Someone else told me to replace the gauge cluster & I also heard to maybe put some electrical grease on the connectors on the gauge cluster before I replaced it. Gonna go w/the electrical grease first and if that don't work going to replace the gauge cluster...If ya hear anything else let me know...I'm open to suggestions.
bought this ram two weeks ago. runs great. changed oil pump... cloged...after puting the thing back together non of the gauge cluster will work.... checked it all. put it on two different scanners.. nothing. need help to figure it out

My instrument panel don't work whatsoever but yet my truck runs good.I need help, does anyone know what I need to do to fix this (I already brought somewhere and they don't know what is wrong, the computer test shows no issues and yes I checked and they checked the fuses).
My instrument panel lights up but nothing on it works. Speedometer, tach, gas gauge, oil pressure, nothing. All the message lights are on. In the odometer/tripmeter window in says: no bus. Truck runs just fine mechanically.
