I've been searching all morning everywhere and I'm leaning toward a bad Power Distribution Center or ECU - but they are pricey so I'm hoping to get another opinion or 20.
Here's my specs:
2004 - Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7 Laramie Trim
Here's the symptoms:
About a year ago the wiper speed control was randomly changing speeds - one day I unlocked my doors with the fob and the wipers came on for one wipe - the switch was off on the column. Still has random speeds - especially when the lowest speed is selected on the switch. Fluid pump stopped working for a day or so - works fine now. Expecting this all to be a problem in the column or switch but I didn't troubleshoot it.
I have power running boards and they worked intermittently for about the last year. For about the last 2 months they don't work at all and the D-side is stuck half way.
Within the last week - the E-Brake light is lit up on the console along with the ABS light. Random dings chime with no other warning lights coming on. No the e-brake is not pushed in even a little bit - those lights came on while driving down the highway for a while and I never use my e-brake.
Within the last week - Cruise control won't turn on.
Within the last couple days - the speedo bounces between 0 and about 25 while going under 25 - once I hit about 25-30, it picks up and works fine.
This morning - I left a stop light and the engine cut for a split second. Not like a fuel sputter. It happened really fast and I didn't notice if all my gauges went to zero or not.
What say you gurus?
