Anybody?! I need a hand here!

 

Never had trouble with my overhead console since truck was new. Wild guess? Check all grounds.

 

Would this ground be in the cab, you think? I had issues with gauges a few years back and went through the frame and under t hood completely. Seemed to fix those problems.

 

Well, no info on the particulars on your truck,(year etc.) , a signature would help. I can just suggest consult the FSM for your year. Wiring and explanations of the different levels will be in there. The different lines had differing CTM's which I believe, after grounds may be your issue.

 

Sorry! 1999 dodge 2500, 5.9 Cummins, chipped mid- range, 305,000 miles. Have no idea what aFSM or a CTM is🤔😱 every day farm truck.

 

Factory service manual, central timer module (under center of dash). FSM's downloadable on this site, or paper available from Genos. Either way you should have one.

 

Thanks! That will give me a start point! I’d read somewhere that the center timer module could be the problem (the ground for it) but I couldn’t find the article again or remember what it was called. Thanks again for a lead.

 

Check the ground in the console for good no resistance ground. Any other shifting or gauge issues? Codes? Other than maybe ground the console and lights are all different circuits.

 

Polithera of problems is a guarantee of a ground system not working, which is
a standard option with these trks. (congenital )
The body module is about where you right knee is only under the dash plastic. BTDT

Ok, what’s BTDT🤔😂😂😂

 

I had no bus, *intermittent problems, Bells/chimes and buzzers going off, and seat belts that would not unlock.
On and off oil pressure.
Could not scan codes.
SOOOoooooo I redid all the grounds under the hood.
Cut the wires back about 3 to 4 inches to clean copper, soldered and crimped tinned ends on...blah blah
This has fixed most of my problems .
The one left is no dash lights.
I am thinking that this will be another light switch....maybe .
Replaced cables with Marine tinned.
* too many to remember.

SOUNDS LIKE THE CIRUIT IT'S SELF IS MALFUCTIONING '' LOOK AT THE BOARD IN THE CONSOLE AND TRY TO SPOT SOMTHING ''WRONG'' AND REPAIR .
