Check gauges
10

Asked by HankBench Mar 01, 2019 at 11:23 PM about the 2005 Dodge RAM 2500 Laramie Quad Cab 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So, today I started my truck (2005 Dodge Ram
diesel 2500) and after a minute of driving, the
check gauges ligh came on. At first the
temperature gauge wasn’t rising like it should have
been. Then after a minute the battery gauge
dropped too. After that the brake light, ABS and air
bag lights all came on and it sounded like it was
about to die. The light in the cab went very dim
wasn’t sure if the headlights were still on and the
blinker wouldn’t click like normal. When stepping
on the gas it would not accelerate. any idea what’s
going on?
