| Description of the problem | I drive a dodge ram 1500 quad cab slt 4x4. An electrical fire was observed in the wiring harness leading from abs control unit. In the past, i have had two problems with the abs sensor and wiring harness. On one occasion, the harness was replaced along with the sensor. On the first occasion, only the sensor was replaced. In a documented diagnosis, the dealer's mechanic stated that there was moisture present in the wiring harness necessitating replacement. The vehicle is currently at the dealer awaiting authorization for repair. I had found a recall notice on autorecalls. Org (nhtsa number 04v18500), but apparently my vehicle's vin is not covered under this recall.*ak |
