scan for the code and get the definition , sounds like it could be the alternator , if you have a multi tester see if there;s at least 14 volts at the batt. terminals when it's running and make sure those are tight , don't make a new alt. charge a weak batt, make sure it's charged , I always thought alts, would up and die but I guess they can fade away

Up until yesterday the oil gauge in my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 would go to 0 - the check gauges lite would come on and pressure would be restored just as quickly as it had been lost. Yesterday, the truck won't start at all - all gauges seem to be OK except the oil gauge - nothing happens when I turn the key. Could this be the oil pump? 4 Answers
