2011 Ram 1500 4x4 Transmission in Limp Mode Due to Blown J18 Fuse. pt. 2 

Phillip thank you for your methodical walk-through for troubleshooting and repairing this issue. After watching your videos, you have given me some valuable tips and tricks to use on my project. You are a Master Mechanic.

PHILLIP, that was AWESOME brother thanks for keeping us up dated to find out the short and i do like the light using to pin point the short brilliant thanks for sharing.

DUDE! Well done. That is some of the best troubleshooting that I have seen. You are also the only person that I have seen use the headlight trick. A friend told me about that probably 25 years ago and it works great, but I have never heard of anyone else using that. Despite the fact that my P0882 is on a 2019 Grand Caravan, an amazing amount of your truck situation is directly applicable, the TIPM looks identical. Thanks for the knowledge injection!!

Thanks my friend, I have the same problem with my town and country 2010, tomorrow I will be looking for a bad wire 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

goof find reminds me of a 69 Ford meteor I bought in the Yukon working on highway trucks for Whitepass transport , I noticed brand new alt and battery and regulator on the 302 CID ,week later went to start it ... nothing , it was about 45- out side , but I did hear sparking noises coming from the main harness connector on the fire wall near my left foot , got a car interior heater , and pulled apart the large connector ,the 10 gauge connector was fried , the connector was a 14 gauge ,so i crimped them together ,had that car an other 3 years .

That's a good method to find shorts thanks . I was told check points of contact

We had a 03 Ram snowplow truck. The mice absolutely loved to chew on the wire loom. But they keep going to chew up the wires to the point that I also had to replace the entire harness. I later read that Daimler (who owned Ram at that time) used a plant based composition in the manufacture of their wire looms. That is what attracted the mice to bypass all the other vehicles and focus on the Ram.

I like the fuseable headlight trick!

This video helped me out a lot thanks man !!

My 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi has exactly same set of codes for transmission. Thank you for making this video.

Good find.

Headlamp substistuted for fuse in a shorted circuit is an excellent idea. I wonder if aftermarket has a nice compact tester that would be a little easier to use.

Had the same problem and cut a hole in the floorboard and made it flange and screwed it back or riveted it

Thanks

Cut a hole in the floorboard and put the pieceback

My step dads truck has a similar issue, p0750 and p0822 I inspected a wire that was frayed. If I inspect find and fix the wiring harness will it take his truck out of limp mode? It drops really hard into drive and reverse. He isn't employed anymore and I don't want to buy parts that I might not need. The code p0750 is cleaning it's a bad solenoid. Would a short cause it to be in limp mode?

Will this cause a grinding sound?

Did you fix

Did this fix the issue????
