The Ultimate Guide to TIPM Fuel Pump Relay Replacement in Dodge / Chrysler / Jeep 

Great job on this repair, especially checking for other failed solder joints and not forcing anything. It's crazy how much places want for a rebuilt TIPM, when all it needs is a $10 relay.

Damn! Thank you so much for the Video...I am pretty good with electronics, building PC's...Taking old laptops apart and upgrading them so i feel pretty confident i can do this and save me a lot of money....2011 Ram 1500 4.7 130,000 miles....I replaced the serpentine belt, AC Clutch, they said i had to buy entire compressor, Alternator, Battery and Starter...Love my truck and keeping as long as i can...New trucks are nuts at $80,000 bucks or more

Thank you, buddy. You saved me about $2000. Very high-quality video and very high quality instruction. I give you 100 from 100.

Well the task was way harder than I thought and my solder sucked but I still got it done. Took 3 hours but thanks to this tutorial I was able to get the repair complete for $20! Thank you so much!!!

This is a GREAT tutorial. Had to do this on my 2012 Caravan and this video was a great help. The relay in Canada was $35 through Amazon and a couple of hours later...runnin' and drivin' with no issues! THANKS!!!!

Just watched your highly educational video, sir. I'm glad to finally 'meet' where that specific fuel pump relay lives. I've worked avionics repair on bench and military/commercial aircraft. I think I can. I think I can! Thank you very much, friend. Keep up the great work! You're saving your fellow man tons of money!💯

thank you for this video, i was so scared to mess it up. now my remote start will work again in time for winter.

Check out Desoldering Wick Braid. It's basically braided copper that you lay over the solder and apply heat. It transfers the solder from the board to the wick. A little *Electrical* Soldering Flux (Not Plumbing Flux) will help removing, as well as flowing better when soldering the component back to the board. Can't believe they make these relays inaccessible like this...Ridiculous. Great video - Thanks

Sir, I wanted to thank you for such a detailed video. Followed your steps and ordered the $5 relay and soldered it down myself. Truck fired right up and fixed all of my issues. Glad I saw this before I replaced my fuel pump! My issues were starter would run but no start, after a couple of attempts it would finally start. Occasionally after parking the truck I would hear the fuel pump hum after tuning the truck off and walking away.

I am so glad I found this video and so grateful to you for making it. I think you saved me about $1,200.00. I followed along and it went very well. I did have trouble removing the module from the circuit board. It's difficult to remove because I'd heat one connection, loosening it, and when I moved on to the next, the solder would re-solidify. So I took the board to an electronics shop and let a pro change out the module. It only cost $55 and I didn't burn up the board trying it myself. THANK YOU!

Great job and tutorial. I ordered most of the parts from your links and will be doing this on my son's Dodge Avenger this weekend. Thanks!

Thank you for doing this video . I did this repair on a 2011 caravan. Everything is working like new !! Thanks again !!

This is an excellent job! I have a Chrysler 300C and if/when I run into TIPM issues I will take the unit apart like you did and solder in new relays as needed. I am an old shortwave radio builder from back in the day so this is a fairly easy repair with your tutorial! Thank you and all the best!

What a great video without a bunch of unrelated rambling. I appreciate you very much.

Thank you for this video. It helped me save about $2000 in repairs! I ordered incorrectly part #EX1-2U1S, and found in the internet that this part number also works for my 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan. Yeah, anyways thanks so much and have a great day!

Thank you for this video! Absolutely amazing and incredible walkthrough. Getting the solder off the old relay was a nightmare as you said. Wish I had some solder wick for the job as the solder sucker was a grind, but patience was the key with it. Took the better part of 4 hours to finish, but it's better than spending the absurd amount for a new TIPM.

Thanks! Having trouble with my Grand Caravan, its been a real head scratcher but I'm sure this is the issue, gonna jump the relay to verify the issue but you saved me a ton of stress!

You're quite brave tackling that job. I have the same problem with my 2013 Chrysler van. I think I'll live with the jumper for now. Thanks for the education.

Very well done. Clean job and precise instructions. I can see on my older raggedy Ram that I just bought, that my relay has been bypassed. On a newer truck, I'd probably go this route. But since it's a design flaw, I might just install a heavier relay and wiring and bypass the OE fuse panel/relay box. Repairing with the OE design will just allow another future failure. Thanks for posting this video.

This video shows excellent work and skill. Clean the soldering chemical acidic residue for less oxidizing.

Nice... i had this issue on my 13 chrysler t/c. I install the after market chip on it. I wish i could repair tipm. I don't have electrical board repair experience and tools... nice work again.

Estás arreglando 100% el problema, te agradezco eres un profesional, saludos desde Guadalajara Jalisco México, yo tengo una Dodge ram 2012 y es el mismo problema y nadie lo arregla, gracias GOD BLESS

Great Information Just Replaced Relay in Brothers Truck Running Great Again! Thank You

Spot on! Just remember moving solder moving while it cools create cold joints and will eventually crack. Let it flow and remove the heat, adding more solder with give a little more flux if a joint is being difficult. Some larger traces might need a little heat. Keep up the Good work!

Very well done video and educational! Thank you.

Wow so that's how it's done. Awesome video thank you.

thank you sir beautiful work !!

Awesome video, thanks for putting this out there.

Thank you. I have a 2011 ram 1500 as well. Been using the jumper wire over a year now. Need to do this repair.

Thanks for an excellent video. Great Work.

Thank you for your knowledge and expertise 😊

Nice job! Great detail!

1 I really like that video that was interesting to see what's inside one of those totally integrated modules

Man this is such an excellent video.....

Wow! Awesome work!

Freaking geniuses..... love utube because of people like this

You really know your stuff

VERY GOOD INFORMATION THANK YOU

Dude, I love your accent. Great video btw.

THANK YOU. I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE JUMPER ON MY BOARD WAS FOR.

Thanks and nice work. Run your iron a little hotter solder will flow quicker and you won't have to apply heat as long.

I did same thing on my Ford Expedition I had choice buy new tipm $700 or buy relay online for $12 got it done truck is still running fine 👍🏻

May I ask, where you found schematics for the TIPM? Having cooling fan issues and the shop tells me the issue is in the TIPM. Thank you.

Sir,you deserve a million subscriber ,what a wonderful job, well Done

I'm running a pump relay jumper on my 2011 Ram 1500. I have a drain in my system, pulled all my fuses and relays with no elimination of the drain. I pull the battery cable from the TIPM and the drain goes away. Would replacing this relay possibly fix the drain on the battery?

Excellent! Only comment is to be careful not to overheat and melt the relay - need to be quick with the iron. A little solder flux would have helped the solder flow in.

Is this the same procedure that I would use for my 2011 Town and Country van? Also, is there a video for making the jumper harness, or a link to buy one, until I find time to redo the TIPM? Thank you for your time and help with this video also.

GOOD JOB

great video hoss, 2015 dodge Durango turns over but wont stay on for 2 seconds, I'm getting the loss communication with PCM , I have checked all fuses that have to do with RUN/START...If i was to order refurbished programmed one is it basically plug and play on replacing it?

You are good!

how do I find the part number for a 2011 dodge ram 5.7l relay dealer says they have 2 different numbers i like to buy it before taking it apart as I have no one to help me

Great vídeo. Do you have any vídeo how to replace de coil relay inside the ECM?

Great Video, do you happen to know what the part number is for the right side headlight relay so i could order one? Thanks!

i want to have like 3 4 beers with this guy and solder some stuff

i bought a 2011 town and country that was sitting for 3 years without running and said it had the same problem but i just reset the tipm (touched the battery cables together) then put them back on the battery and it started right up.

My dad's 2006 Ram 1500 mega cab is doing this exact thing

Thanks for this video. I just did the job. Fairly straightforward. Note, relay on Amazon is $30. same relay on Digikey is $3

Do you have to pull the tip when you do an easy reset for 12 second

Ideally one coats the new work, after cleaning, with conformal fluid as a protection

Very nice thank you for this video I am quite confidant now to tackle this repair. Question because the fuel pump is constantly running when jumped does it use up more gas?

I went with installing an external fuel pump relay following another tutorial, canceling the relay inside the TIPM. About 7 months later the relay got toast again. Currently have my truck on that bypass bridge and my truck randomly dies not too often) when I apply the brakes. Tempted to replace relay via you tutorial but wondering if there might be a second issue with the wire harness as well.? Lmk what you think Thank PS. great tutorial.

Yes Sir...I have a 2007 ram 1500(gas engine) I am having this same problem. I looked at my TIPM and i dont have an M25 fuse. what do i do now? I would like to use the jumper just to make sure its not the fuel pump.

I'm having a issue on a 08 liberty. The power lock fuse keeps blowing immediately when installed. I'm going to open up the tipm. Any suggestions on what to look for. Love the video

Hiya. Great instructions and techniques. Could you provide how many watts you used to solder/desolder?? Thanks for a great video. Be blessed. Be well. Mark

I noticed these tipm have more than just a problem with the pump it has other problems with horn and so on . The bypass kits they sell pretty much only work for the fuel pump itself so soldering new relays is the only fix .

Quick question. Are the other mounted relays the same? I have a wiper relay that’s failed. Thanks

Do u know the part number to fuel pump relay i got 2011 ram 1500 5.7

Why the F would dodge install one of the most important relays inside the fuse box and make it a micro. I'm thinking way too undersized for a circuit to be on/feeding a non stop item like a fuel pump. Probably overheats the relay and melts the solder off causing faulty connection. Thanks for showing what's in the box and how to fix it. I'm thinking of taking it apart and tracing inside terminals to outside wires and installing an external normal size relay that can handle constant use/load. Nice video, thanks!

Repair is good. You might want to crank up the heat on your soldering iron, so you don't stay on the joint so long and overheat the board.

My 05 jeep started and died 3 times. Now it will not cycle and pump fuse has no power. Will this relay also power the trigger wire for starter?

How do I find the relay number for a 2015 durango? Are they all the same?

Hey buddy can you help with the ac relay 2006 dodge ram 1500 4.7

Have you considered making an adapter that you can solder onto that board and then quick-swap a regular relay? I bet it would get popular. I’d buy one cause this is BS 😂 i’ve done solder jobs replacing capacitors on ECUs so I’m not apposed to fixing it hut kind of ridiculous that chrysler/dodge/ram did this on a part that is known to not last. It would make sense if it was a solid state relay that doesn’t degrade over time.

Do you have any idea how therapeutic that was to watch?? I don't know if i want to tackle that on my truck, but for crying out loud, you sure scratched an itch.... well done

What temperature did you use on this board ? Thanks in advance!

How many of the larger relays had the same part number?

Just ordered the relay, in my case its to fix (I hope) error P0882 which puts the car into Limp Mode.

💯🔥🔥

dang you anywhere near NC, i need mine done

When the relay is bad can I be intermittent, or does it just not work

Can I use the same fuse for my caravan

can you name the tools you used to remove the bad relay??

How do you pop up the other 2 fuses

Wheres the link for the relay

Why didn't you mention the part number for the relay?

Where's the link??

Great job! Next time, don't use a desoldering pump. Use desoldering wick! You'll never mess with leftover tin! 😊 And never use a hard bristle brush. Use an old toothbrush dipped in acetone or isopropyl alcohol! It does wonders! 👌

I noticed that nowhere is the part number for micro relay and manufacturer

I have problem with dodge ram 1500 2011 getway Configration any body here have Solution

You can get those little relays for nearly free from discarded microwave ovens btw. 🤓

Your video was good but you never showed the actual damn tabs that needed to be depressed.

you un soldered a five pin and the board is five pin and the link to the relay on Amazon is a four pin

Good video, but get some flux🤪

These systems suck. My old Tundra goes forever. Replace a fuse here of the. With the TIPM it will cost you $1000 new in installed.. What a rip off designed by idiots.
