truck is dead, no noise, no lights, or anything happening when i turn the key. what do i do now?

Asked by JGettings Nov 18, 2014 at 04:39 PM about the 2000 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT LB 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

A couple of months ago my 2000 dodge ram 1500 stalled while stopped at a red light. after a few minutes it started back up. it started happening more and more and I would have to wait longer for it to "cool down". then I got the dreaded no bus signal in the odometer. googled and googled and googled ... got a new battery and now a new pcm or ecm, but it still isn't working. I saw somewhere that it could be the wiring harness from the power distribution center to the ecu but I can find the part anywhere. what is it called and will this fix the problem? I can't even find the wiring diagram for it yet. I thought I'd ask the gurus directly. thank you in advnace
