My 98 dodge v8 magnum dies out

I was trying to connect my amplifier and so I disconnected the battery. When I reconnected the battery, I started the truck and my Gage's were freaking out And on top of that my battery wouldn't hold a charge. So I replaced the altinator and it still dies out. Also my stereo don't work anymore. So then I took it to auto zone and they couldn't even read anything after it was plugged in under my dash. Some say its my ecm and some say PCM what one is it. Or what else could it be?

SOURCE: Troubleshooting code PO753 ECM or PCM.

It is more likely the solenoid, the PCM is very seldom the problem, about 3% of the time to be exact.

When you disconnected the battery, you tripped the alarm which locked down everything. In your owners manual, look under the security or alarm system. It will tell you how to disarm your particular alarm system. If I am not mistaken on these you put the key in the drivers door and lock and unlock it 2-3 times. If you do not have the owners manual, you can contact dodge and they will walk you through it.

SOURCE: No Bus Error

All the modules are connected together to communicate with each other via the PCI bus. It is possible that one of the modules is pulling the bus down.Since the vehicle won't start it could be any one of the modules. It will be a process of elimination to find the faulty one by disconnecting them one at a time. Here are a few, powertrain control module (the one you replaced) Instrument cluster, overhead console, anti-lock brakes, airbag. Since the cluster unplugged wont read anymore, just try to start the vehicle to see if that was the one. Otherwise see if the odometer message of "no bus" goes away after each one is unplugged.

It's almost never a pcm. You need to check things like the fuel pressure when this happens. I'd take it to a better shop as alot of tests require special equipment.

How do I change the brake master cylinder on a 2000 dodge dakota rt 360 magnum 5.9l v8 mopar

disconnect the front and rear brake lines, undo bolts holding the master cylinder to the brake booster. Bench bleed the new master and reconnect to booster and reconnect lines. Be very careful when undoing the lines from the master cyclinder as you do not want to damage them. Soak with WD-40 before loosening. Once everything is back in place you will need to bleed all calipers and/or wheel cylinders. Again soak the bleeder screws beforehand with WD-40 as they break off easily.

How do I reset the computer in my dodge magnum 2007

Proper way is with code scanner with erase capability. Or you can try to unhook your battery and turn on the headlights, wait about 5 min. then reconnect battery. If you have stereo with code lock make sure to have code before doing.

2005 magnum sxt lights come on but go dem when trying to start car only clicking sound

Could be several possibilities...First, check the voltage on the battery...at engine off, it should read around 12.50 Volt DC....any lower and you won't get start....if battery voltage is ok then you will need to check the connections...bad connections on the battery can cause the no start condition(but allow the lights to come on as they don't draw as much power as a starter)...if you are in doubt as to the condition of the connections, then you can remove each battery cable and clean each cable and post and reconnect....if connections are ok then you may need to remove the starter and take it to the auto parts store and have it tested to see if it is defective

How do you replace an alternater in a 1997 dodge ram 150 truck

Hi,

You will be needigng the below;

  • New alternator
  • Socket wrench set
  • Torque wrench

  • Determine which alternator your Dodge Ram will need. You'll want to be sure the new alternator is compatible with your Ram's engine. A Dodge Ram made after 2001 may be equipped with a 3.7 L, 4.7 L, 5.7 L Hemi V8, 5.9 L Magnum V8, 5.9 L Cummins diesel, 6.7 L Cummins diesel, 8.0 L Magnum or 8.3 L Viper engine.

    Disconnect the negative battery cable with a socket wrench. Remove the accessory drive belt and disconnect the wiring harness from the alternator. You will also need to remove the support bracket with a socket wrench for 3.7 L, 4.7 L and 5.7 L engines.

    Take the mounting bolts off of the alternator with a socket wrench and remove the alternator assembly.

    Install the new alternator assembly. If you have a 3.7 L engine, tighten the horizontal bolts to 42 foot pounds and the vertical bolt to 29 foot pounds with a torque wrench. Torque the long horizontal bolt and vertical bolt to 41 foot pounds and the short horizontal bolt to 55 foot pounds for a 4.7 L engine. Torque the mounting bolts to 30 foot pounds for all other engines.

    Connect the wiring harness to the alternator, install the accessory drive belt and connect the negative battery cable.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck.

    2006 dodge magnum won't start and it's not the pcm. help? would a fuse cause this?

    Could be one of many sensors. Have you tried a battery disconnect reset?


    If not, remove the negative battery terminal and then depress the brake pedal for 30 45 seconds.

    Then, reconnect and try to fire it up.

    When you crank the motor, does the tach needle bounce or move at all? If not, could be either Camsahft or Crank sensor.

    Need to pull trouble codes from the OBD II port and see if there are any. They could give you a direction to go in also.

    Good luck.............Don

    there may be a software update for the powertrain control module for mis-fire monitor. check with your local dealer. but if thats not the case,these engines are known at least in my experience of having the heads crack between the valves and cause mild mis-fires. try compression testing all the cylinders and performing a leakdown test on them as well.
