Previous owner jumped to the fuel pump power from ACC. Worked great for a while until it got really cold. Every morning i struggled to start the truck.. then it dawned on me that ACC power gets turned off during the starter cranking… on warm days the truck starts instantly before fuel pressure dropped too low. On cold days when it took longer to start the fuel pressure hit zero before it could start. Man i chased that issue for way too long. I’ll be resoldering a new relay this weekend

Update, i confirmed that soldering a new relay and undoing the jumper wire fixed my cold start issue if anyone is wondering

Great 👍 👌 to see someone use dielectric grease on big electrical wire connectors a great defense against moisture and heat.

I see a ton of corrosion due to salty moisture as I live in close to the worlds largest sat mine and they dump salt on the roads every year like you wouldn’t believe, the town either gets salt for free or at a discount.. pretty sure it’s free but the point is.. vehicles don’t last long around here, and electrical nightmares are a very common thing

2011 ram 1500 4.7l. Cold starts are hard like no fuel pressure almost. Fuel pump sounds like it's priming fine. Im thinking about pulling the tipm out to check connections. Is there a way to jump the fuel pump relay if all the pins check out good?

Are all TIPMs equipped with remote start? Previous owner jumped so it cancels out. Want to put in new TIPM but not sure if they are all the same.

Hey great question, I can’t 100% confirm that however if I remember correctly all of them do and the remote start function just needs to be enabled via scan tool. It’s a software enable

Have a question? Would that problem make it get no spark and also I had it running for 30-to-45 min after doing some work on it so I hope up on my truck and I kinda Had my foot against the fuse box and could of hit it hard but it started after that and ran for a bit but the second I put it in drive it died and won’t start anymore but sounds pretty much like the one in the video but I didn’t have that Code had a bunch of others but it was still running when I cleared it but what u think might be wrong

Hello, My truck is doing the same thing. Had corrosion in the same connector. I replaced the TIPM with a used one and it still won’t start. Does the TIPM need to be programmed?
@Tech-28
6 ай бұрын
Nope it should start without programming, it is possible there is either a bad wire somewhere or the used TIPM is corroded inside
