The bad ground answer seems to be the most plausible answer. I had the same problem with my diesel 48RE transmission.I remembered a condition with the Intrepid where the instrument cluster lights and dome light would go nuts. The solution was to pull the plug from the back of the cluster dimmer control and apply electrolytic grease.I applied some to my Transmission Range Sensor connector and haven't had any trouble since.1. Diesels don't use vacuum2. Fluid level won't affect TC lockup3. Replaced the TC lockup solenoid array which did not alleviate the condition.UPDATE: The electrolytic paste in the plug did help for a time. However, eventually the torque converter failed about a year later and filled the transmission with metal filings :( I replaced it with a high-performance TC.

If you ran it out of fuel, You may have to prime your sytem first. There could be a hand pump located near your fuel pump. There are also several prescreen filters throughout the fuel sytem. They are located at some of the banjo fittings. They have to be clean to allow fuel through. If you have access to the fuel filter, make sure that is full of fuel and clean. You may have a bleed valve for removing air from the system. Or removing a fuel line located at the highest point and cranking engine until fuel comes out, then reattaching it Just some ideas where to start.

Ext engine coolant temperature sensor

The motor could have a bad low winding. Intermittent always uses low. The problem could also be a bad connector pin going to the motor low winding. If you have a schematic, you can ground the pin to see if low runs. Hope this helps.

Very low engine power. Truck would feel sluggish.

There are little device that are on the hinge of the doors , their purpose is to assist with closing the door. Sometimes they will wear out. They can be replaced though.

I believe most vehicles have fusible links which supply the fuse block, but that the headlamps are supplied through a different link. Kind of surprising if a 2014 truck has blown a fusible link though, so more likely there is some security system cutting power. Under warranty?

test battery using multi-meter with vehicle ignition in each position noting each, and then with earth lead disconnected, if no change, is battery or alternator problem.

I'm not a Dodge guy, but normally you would need to pull the panel, the bulbs will be on the back of the panel. Take a look on line for LED replacement bulbs, so you'll never have to replace them again!

Have a lock smith use a slim jim on it.

check your antifreeze if it isn't mixing then the piston rings could be broken and it is getting burned in the cylinder but most likely a blown head gasket and its mixing with your coolant
