My battery went dead and I couldn’t remove the key. Thanks to your video I was able to figure out the key was stuck because without power, the ignition won’t unlock the key. Your vid saved me the trouble of trying to force the key out.
W video. The same thing happened to my van and bought the whole ignition lock cylinder and the car still didn’t start. I found this video and changed the fuse and my van started. The fuse I used was 32v mega fuse 250Amp
I just had this problem when it rains. Last Monday and today. Just told the dealer. These people follow error codes...which can be misleading. Guys, look for wheel sensor issues. And that fuse is just genius. Thanks from the North.
Same for for after rain, i had a 7.5 amp fuse F18 blown in the engine compartment everything worked fine after that. Rain again same problem now the engine won't stop after replacing the fuse
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Very well explained and resolved my issue. I was installing a positive and negative cable for my 2021 ProMaster and my wife in the middle of the process, got me distracted. Forgot to tighten the positive cable and the security padlock light it up on my dashboard living me on a HomeDepot parking lot overnight. I have search all over the internet but no luck until I found your videos this morning. When I when in to battery compartment to check on that fuse, there it was! A Dam! Nut not being tightened. Thank you once again. A++ for this video. 👍 and buy the way,… the dealer will charge you $500 to $1200 dollars for a $5 fuse. 😕
@@rpmgarage5848 This is the reason why people get the Knowledge to help one another. And believe me, when it come to service from a dealer, most likely you will get rip off. Guys like you are the kind of people we need in RU-vid. You got my vote on this channel. Thank you Man. 🙂
I have a 2017 Winnebago Trend and I never thought getting the key out could be electrical. Thanks for taking the time to post. I originally thought those were 20 amp fuses not 70, thanks goodness I took a pic with my cell phone and enlarged on the screen. I thought of replacing all of those and getting a new battery too.
I had the same issue. This guy has on my ram pro master, 2500 2018 and I resolved it by getting out of the van and giving it a little push in the door jam forward which created a rocking motion and once I did this I was able to Remove and or start the van and shift the gear shifter! I’d remembered as a younger man having this issue with a car are used to have it would not go into gear correctly and the same thing fixed it. It would not do it all the time just occasionally on how you park I believe.
Mine was 2018 Travato 59G on 2017 Promaster 3500. Mine wouldn't shift and key wouldn't come out. I was still able to figure it out thanks to you. We would still be waiting on a tow and would have missed a LOT of family / work if not for you / this post. THANK YOU!!!!
Appreciate the video dude van wouldn’t start and didn’t know why took battery to get tested and was in good shape didn’t even realize that was a fuze apperantly i loosend the nut on the fuze and it wasn’t giving current tightend both screws and van turned on thanks much bro
THANK YOU!!! My buddy still has this problem, stuck at truck stop for 4 days. Mechanic #2 charged him $1700 for 5 hrs of unresolved job and total comes to $2300.
Yes on my video I talked about what they charge me and I had to fixed my self it’s the ground cable that needs to be cleaned and also add some more cables
Big thanks to your video I was stuck at a old age home making a delivery and this exact same thing happened yl me and you saved the day another big thanks
Hey Scott, if you ever experience this issue again try getting out of the vehicle and pushing the vehicle forward to create a rocking sensation. I have a 2018 ram pro master 2500 and this is happened to me several times how I park has something to do with it, but I give it a little shove forward and immediately the vehicle goes forward and then backwards an inch or two the body not the tires and once I do this, the vehicle cranks and shifts and you’re able to remove the key without any issues it really freaked me out the first time it did it I was at a park way out away from everywhere.
Building Methods welcome make shore you see the other videos to stop this to happen you need to add new ground wire I can send you the link if you need please subscribe the channel to help me bring in more information
@@rpmgarage5848 I definitely will! The van wasn’t starting, called a tow truck, waited a few hours and it started. From what you are saying and from reading the comments this sounds like a grounding connection issue. Am I right? We actually swapped out our battery a few days ago, because it wasn’t starting at all and then it was starting up just fine. Now we are bad to this game of will she start when we need her to. We have a 2018 2500 Ram Promaster with 100k warranty. Currently in Missouri, but from Oregon. About to head up to Colorado to see a friend before going back to Oregon, and this started happening. Hoped we can find an easy solution. I’m not a fan of the dealership and taking it in.
christine keating on my van I had to add a ground cable on frame of the van to the engine that was the reason on my was not getting enough ground connection I have another video that shows that if you like I can send you the link
THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO CALIFORNIA HERE! I ALSO DID SAME THING LOOK LIKE FUSE IS GOOD. SO WHEN I TRY TO JUMP THE VAN EVERYTHING COMES ON LIGHTS RADIO ETC I CAN TAKE KEY OFF BUT WHEN DONT HAVE CABLE ON AND TURN KEY IT GET STUCK LIKE THIS VIDEO
I ABHOR dealerships. I have no respect for them. $2500! Crooks. Thank you for the video. We consumers need to stick together and help each other out. I have a 2006 sprinter and never took it to the MB dealer and did everything myself. I am looking to get another van.. Promaster or Transit. I am still researching...cheers!
Miko Fontana I’m glad that is helping other with this video make sure you add a ground cable and subscribe the channel I will add other videos about this van
Knowing the fuse is there, this is a battery I would take the ground off before touching the positive, accidently touching ground on the positive with the negative attached will potentially blow the fuse.
iceblue 69 the first time that happen to me I didn’t had time to work I get dealer garage and they charge $2600 over all and at that second time I didn’t want to pay that $ cash anymore so I just took the time and get figured
Thanks I have a 2017, I do expediting and drive 100k miles a year so these vids on repairs are extremely useful to me..Dealers fraud you 7 ways to sunday, good you can do this stuff.
😂 this happened to me. Wake up for work, key fob doesn't unlock van so use the key to open the door. Then if the battery is bad or has loose terminal connections your key gets stuck! And hooking up a battery charger at 4am cause the alarm to go off so loud. I realized after the battery said it was 100 percent the positive terminal came a little loose. Hard to see
where are you located? do you have a garage or work on vans? thanks for this video! I'm a woman van owner with no auto/mechanical experience and all this info really helped me a lot!
Mine is stuck right now, that’s why I’m in RU-vid looking for a way out! This happened before, about 6 months ago and I did something to get the key out but it wasn’t change a fuse. I’ll keep looking and if all else fails, I’ll be back!!!
All Who Wander ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ij9Nx4XsT2s.html this a video that shows another way to fix this problem and it’s the most important please subscribe to the channel I have more info about the van
I'll give it a try with the fuse. I put a new battery in and it still won't start. Thanks a lot for this video and the others on the ground cable. I hope I won't have to do the ground cable...
@@rpmgarage5848 I checked the megafuse like you did here . I'm getting 12v from it and all the other fuses I see on the battery harness. It looks like one end of the ground wire is under the fuse box in the hood? I'll look at it thursday. I'm subscribing to your channel too, you're giving us some good help!
That’s funny I’ve had the same issue with my 2018. 2500 and fixed it by getting out of my van and giving the van a little push forward “sorta like a rocking motion “ and then i can shift and remove key from ignition!
I'm in Summit county. My Promaster tries to start but it won't turn over all the way. My friend said it's maybe the fuel pump, but I don't want to buy a new fuel pump and then have that not be the problem. Fuel pumps do go out on the promasters though. I don't have any way to check the fues's
Jeff L. Hi the ground cable is a real problem with this van you may consider get one at part store and add on the van to see what does I have a video showing where I add on my van
I have my Ram promaster 3500 year 2014. and I followed the indications in your video, and it actually worked, I did the test on three occasions, I also removed the fuse and then I made a bridge to confirm if the fuse was bad, and it also lit. Then I ordered the fuse and when I received it, and I wanted to turn it on, it no longer turned on, an icon with two vertical stripes appeared and in the middle of the two stripes a lightning bolt appears all in red. Tell me can you came to see it
My main recommendation is that you add a ground cable directly from the frame into the starter this vans has bad grounding and that is the first thing I would do . I have a video about that like a subscribe to se more
@@rpmgarage5848 Sorry for not replying earlier . I already made the connection as it appears in your video, but I was not successful. since it was necessary to program new keys and only then I can turn on. but now it turns out that the key has attacked again since the key does not turn at all. therefore I think that the whole problem is the column lock I have two questions more: there is another place where you can add more ground. And if you know how to disassemble the column ah and the other question is that if I can put the ground that comes from the starter motor together with the ground of the fuse box, that is, I would remove it from the body of the vehicle.
clarence reeves not eat I have problems with most electric air sensors temperature is located on driver side mirror and gets water and snow if fails you lose a/c and probably heating if it’s on cold weather
Thomas Golding Hi it’s in Summith New Jersey and I just use another place for a Jeep that I have and I realize they just want to change parts so they can find what’s was making the problem and the charge for parts that wasn’t Bad You really need to know what needs to be replace or have them drive the car to understand what needs to be fix oil change is vary easy do do your self and if you have problems with the van not start there couple of thanks that you can try before bringing to dealers garage
Mine did that today completely dead no lights on dash nothing...I disconnected battery negative and reconnected and started and hasn't done it yet again but I only tried it few times...no idea but maybe security issue ..
@@rpmgarage5848 ok cool, your saying my ground post isn't good? I dont know where it's even at but hopefully van makes it home to ny, I'm in Arizona now
So. My mega fuse has gone out three times. WHY is it doing this?? I have a 2018 Winnebago Travato K. 3500 Ram pro master chassis. Does it need more grounding? Could the house battery be sending electricity to the chassis battery? There is a solenoid that is supposed to isolate those two batteries. Please and thank you. I carry the mega fuse with me but am tired of getting stuck. My anti theft icon comes on when the vehicle won’t start. It seems to “not start” but then does for months, then goes completely dead. I’m desperate. I live in my RV.
Hi I had that problem for so many days and only stopped when I add the ground cable from the chassi to the one of the bolt of the stater there more videos showing that please subscribe to get updates on this van
Hey man thanks for the video really helpful i had the same issue and the workshop replaced my totally fine battery and then charged me 600 dollars, I have another issue my transmission is stuck in 2 or 3 gear and does not up shift or down shift in drive and using manual doesn't do anything either any suggestions ? Also whenever i put it drive or reverse it give me bit of jerking motion.
The van has a problem with Ground wire and make all the electronics not work properly I have a vídeo that shows how to add cable please if its possible subscribe to the channel than you get to see more videos
That's very generous of you by creating this video. It totally work out. Do you know the specific name of this connector? How can I order it and where.?
IF you have power/12v in all the cables BUT the key still doesn't come out AND the engine doesn't start: THE SOLENOID THAT RETAINS THE KEY is giving the main problem. Solution: move the connectors of the solenoid and make them sure is plugged correctly
Juliano Canelha Hi it’s possible that your van has no ground You need to clean or add one ground cable from the motor to the frame of the van I use the bolt that holds the starter and connect to the frame of the van I have another video showing that Will be helpful if subscribe so support my videos that if have any questions let me know
My had the same problem with the radio only stopped when I add the ground cable ! I have video talking about the ground cable Will be helpful if tou subscribe to the channel you will get more updates as I upload videos
hi rpm thank you for the video last week i had a bad ground for the starter i am using temporary looks like i have to run new ground... and do you know the diesel problem as well. mine is eco diesel.. bosch engine runs ok. but, it is stool? mode doesn't go over 2000rpm mode.. i drove slow. so, this time i am ok to drive almost 100km on hwy but very very slow acceleration. went to the dealer they dont even give me a code. trying to hide it from me. want to test so many steps.. i did check def side no porblem looks like they have to reset the computer or something. thank you
Jason Kim I will post today one quick video today where new ground wire was add ! If you have to reset te computer try to see if under car warranty call 1800 ande explain the situation also unplug the battery for 24 hr and set again could be dirty injectors and need to be clean check with diesel garage they probably know better then the dealers mechanic Thank you for subscribing
Add a ground cable I have a video showing has to be from the stater to the frame of of the fuse box the van ! If subscribe you will get to see more videos!
Hello Charles, thanks for the video. My pro master 3500 diesel starts intermittently. I’ve changed the battery 3 times, changed the starter and alternator but the problem of not starting is still happening. Do you think it might be the ignition switch? I will also change the fuse you show in the video here just in case as well.
Howard Sims on the stater you have to untie one bolt and add a ground cable from the starter to the frame off the van under the fuse box at the frame of the van there’s one small ground cable that you can connect on also the connection on the ground of the battery is vary bath so make sure is well connected you can add small metal between pole of the battery and the connector that ground cable from the battery connect right next to frame off the van remove that and clean that vary well to remove corrosion
@@rpmgarage5848 Hello, after I waisted a lot of money changing parts, one day I stalled on the highway with all the signs of a bad alternator, however I got towed to a ram truck dealership and they located a rusted and broken away from the body ground strap. Apparently on the ram pro master there are a few grounds. They told me the location it was bolted to the body was very rusty and they drilled a new hole and put a new bolt and ground. All has been good for a month now. It sounds like your last reply would be a good solution to this problem. Too bad we all got tricked into buying a fiat the we thought was a tough American ram van haha on us.
hey RP, any words of wisdom re replacing a keyfob battery? this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QPsO7C6UgF8.html makes it look very easy but there was no mention of a re-program which is mentioned in some of the other videos, best regards , joe (pepe)
