    Just watched your video, thanks for the info, I noticed quite a few no turn over questions in the comments. I had that problem once before and it turned out to be the key. There’s a crystal in the key that works as a anti-theft system. Fortunately I had spare keys made. Exchanged key and it started right up.

    I also have a 2006 mega cab automatic transmission with only 143K. She died while driving down the Hiway. I’m not getting nothing but a click no crank at all. I’ve put new red top optima batteries, new alternator, FCA replaced, transmission neutral sensor replaced, I’ve installed a new ignition switch and replaced every fuse.. still nothing but a click. Pulling 4 codes p5209, P1755, p0513 and p0532. I’m leaning toward my ECM now. Thanks for the video

    • @ChrisRocha1672
      @ChrisRocha1672  Před 4 lety +1

      You have an interesting series of codes to say the least. They may have been caused by weak batteries. The 513 I'd recomend changing the batteries in your key fob. Check all of your connections and make sure your starter is ok. I've never seen an ECM cause a no crank in my experience. Given what all you have replaced my next guess would be the starter. I've seen in some cases if the ac compressor locks up it will cause a bo crank no start. Take off the serpentine belt and see if there is a difference. Lastly check your fan clutch harness if that shorts out on something it can do odd things

      Chris Rocha thank you I’ll definitely look into that also. I have the transmission throttle valve coming and also purchased cam shaft crank sensor for piece of mind as I’m going through her. I’ve also cleaned up both battery terminals. I’d find it unbelievable if this motor froze up with only 143K and not a drop of oil missing. I had a mechanic come look at her and he could only get 1/8th turn by hand with a 4’ bar 😔😩

      Chris Rocha looks like I get the same movement from the fan on that click only like 1/8 to 1/2 inch. She didn’t make a bang boom and no smoke out the back when it died. I swear the engine reeved up like I lost the transmission and thought somehow I went into neutral at first before she finally shut all the way down at 70 on the hiway.

    I keep getting p0868 and p0513 codes as well as a bunch of communication codes.. dodge dealership says it's the ecm because the trans all looks fine relating to the p0868 code and the p0513 they just needs new batteries is the fab. Every once in a while my trans goes into limp mode when the 0868 code comes up.. do you think it is in fact the ecm?? It's a 06 automatic. Good video with good angles and info 👍🏼👍🏼

      I installed my refurbished ecm today. Left the battries disconnected, all went well. The reason I replaced the ecm was that I kept getting the lighting bolt throttle position sensor. I had it replaced by the dealership. 30 miles down the road, it tripped that code again. Took it back to the dealership, they kept it for several days then told me I needed a new computer. So put the new (refurbished) ecm in today, drove 10 miles and it started throwing that same code. I put in 2 New battries last week. I'm thinking it's something else and wasn't the computer after all. Would you have any suggestions? I'm beginning to think there's no answer for this.
