Starter wiring issue?
Asked by Gabe Apr 07, 2018 at 12:58 AM about the 2002 Dodge RAM 1500 ST Quad Cab 4WD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I replaced the starter in my truck. Everything was
identical except one wire was different. The old
starter used a special plug and the new starter just
has a bare nut. I cut the plug and just attached the
wire to the bolt.
The truck starts fine but it feels like there is a “drag”
on the engine. If I don’t keep pressing the gas, it
dies. What is wrong?

check your wiring make sure it's not grounding out , or something else may have gone wrong by pure coincidence scan for codes even if the light ain't on , there's a "drag" at once you're cruising ? But it won't idle ?
Yeah it feels like the engine is being slowed down. I can’t drive it. The automatic won’t shift out of park until it idles.
do you have a part number for that connector? I need one and cant find any information on it
Did you ever find the part number for that connector?
