Hi, my 1983 DODGE B150
If the fuses are OK, are ypu check the "brake switch"? This, generally is in back-side of the brake peddal and its possible that need some adjust.
Fig. 1: Brake light switch adjustment
Without Speed Control
(see Figure 1)
-
Loosen the switch-to-pedal bracket screw and slide the switch away from the pedal arm.
-
Push the pedal down by hand and allow it to return on its own to the free-hanging position. Do not pull it back!
-
Slide the switch towards the pedal until there is a gap of 0.140" between the plunger and pedal arm.
The pedal must not move when measuring the gap.
-
Tighten the switch screw to 82 inch lbs. Recheck the gap.
With Speed Control
-
Push the switch through the clip in the mounting bracket until it
is seated against the bracket. The pedal will move forward slightly.
-
Gently pull back on the pedal as far as it will go. The switch will ratchet backwards to the correct position.
Keep in mind
that the FLASHER for Turn Signal is located in fFront seating area, center, under dash, driver side of glove compartment, mounted in fuse block; you has two, other for the Hazard Lights.
Hope this helps.

I have a 2012 Dodge Ram.. I Keep trying and eventually it starts. I have replaced the fuel pump, spark plugs, and fuel relay. Once it gets started and warms up then I have no trouble starting it.
If you're experiencing difficulty starting your 2012 Dodge Ram, even after replacing the fuel pump, spark plugs, and fuel relay, there may be several other possible causes. Here are a few things you can check:
- Check the Battery: A weak battery can cause starting issues, especially in colder temperatures. Check the battery voltage and consider replacing the battery if it's not holding a charge or is more than a few years old.
- Inspect the Ignition System: The ignition system includes the spark plugs, ignition coils, and spark plug wires. If any of these components are worn, damaged, or corroded, it could cause starting problems. Check these components and replace them as necessary.
- Check the Fuel System: While you've already replaced the fuel pump and fuel relay, it's possible that there is still an issue with the fuel system. Check the fuel pressure to make sure it's within the manufacturer's specifications. If it's too low, there could be a problem with the fuel filter or fuel injectors.
- Check the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor: The engine coolant temperature sensor can affect the fuel system and cause starting problems if it's faulty or not reading the engine temperature correctly. Check this sensor and replace it if necessary.
- Check the Starter Motor: The starter motor could be failing or not engaging properly, which could cause starting problems. Check the starter motor and have it tested if necessary.
If none of these suggestions resolves the issue, it's recommended to take your vehicle to a certified mechanic or dealership for further diagnosis and repair.

What color is the fuel pump wires on 2010 ram
Hello. The positive polarity (+) color wire for the fuel pump on your Dodge truck can be any color except black. The negative polarity (-) color wire is, usually, black. Those 2 main fuel pump wires are a thicker gauge than the other wires. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.
