I'd go see jackelope. Sounds like he will take care of ya. If you don't. Make sure you tell em you want your tipm reset.

Actually tell them to clear the codes in the TIPM. Then there likely won't be any 1000 yard stares.

Jackelope,
I'm have a similar problem with my 2008 Dodge.  My dash lights and overhead lights went out.  I replaced the fuse.  They worked  - problem solved - or so I thought. 

The next day, I went to start my truck and heard this "soft clicking sound" and my lights went out again.  I replaced the fuse again and the same thing happened. 

Is this related to the TIPM ?


THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!
Brian

I'm not a technician and have decided to not try and play one on the internet anymore. I will say that it's not related to the TIPM like these other guys are. It sounds like you've got a short blowing that fuse. You'll have to decipher where the short is to fix that one. You might start where that noise is coming from.


Just to clarify I'm a service advisor or team service manager or whatever you want to call me, not a technician. Us advisors don't fix them so we're not trained much in the mechanics/electronics/etc....we just know what we see commonly. Thats about what we know. Some of us  know more than others. We should all know policies and procedures but we're not necessarily expected to be mechanically knowledgeable.

Thanks Jackelope.... I apprecite your input. 

I had a 2000 Ram Diesel 2500 and ran it for 10 years without a problem.  I loved that truck!! 
I gave it to my son 2 yrs ago and "upgraded" to a 2008.    :bdid:

Since then, I have been having small little problems around every corner it seems :bash: :bash: 
I replaced the fuse again tonight and it seems to be working, but now my reverse light on the right side is out :bash:  ugh!

Im thinking about trading in for a 2012, if I can figure out the finances of it all  :dunno:

Anyway - thank you! :hello:
