My dash is looking like a blinking beeping Christmas tree. It started with a series of beeps but I couldn't see anything in the DIC. Eventually it happened often enough to see hood open in the DIC but it cleared quickly. Now today I have warnings flashing and dinging like crazy.

To me this sounds like a ground coming loose. Any thoughts on where a ground that can affect all this might be?

It could be the one under the passenger side but I’d check them all including the cables. Peel back the rubber coating to see if there’s corrosion.

I'm starting to think it might be smart to check behind my new radio. Yesterday it decided I really wanted my tire pressures to show on said radio...

Yesterday I read about bad battery cables causing a host of issues just like mine. I opened the hood and started tugging on the battery cables.



Someone before I bought the truck had cut the ground to remove the inductive sensor. They apparently pushed the cut ends together and wrapped tape around the joint. No idea how it held this long.





I'll have to get something to do it better. Is there a reason to disable that sensor? I have the opportunity to put it back on.

Despite the fact that the ground cable resembling an octopus with too numerous connections it cured the stream of error messages. I haven't even finished connecting the ground lead to the frame. I twisted the frame end of the old cable to one of the leads on the new cable. Plans to finish that job today.

This issue is SOLVED.

Nice! There are so many things that go wrong where you’d never expect to find the problem was a bad cable. Good to know it’s fixed.

probably wise to just replace that cable with the sensor, it doesn't do "much" but supposedly it's there for added fuel economy, however minuscule it is atleast you will have a nice new ground.

I left the sensor on the new ground wire. If I detect a problem that might be caused by it I can disconnect it and connect the one that isn't on the ground.
