2007 RAM crank but no start.
Asked by Inkedgorilla Feb 27, 2016 at 09:11 PM about the 2007 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT Quad Cab 4WD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Inkedgorilla about a second ago
I have a 2007 RAM 1500 HEMI and it will crank but
not start. I took off the air box and sprayed starter
fluid into the throttle body and the truck started for
a few seconds. So do I run the jumper between
spot 7 and 25 in the fuse box? Because it says that
7 is "reverse lockout sol batt srt10" and 25 is "pwr
mirror"? Please excuse my ignorance on this but we
just had a baby and do not have money to take my
truck to a shop or dealership. Any help is
appreciated. Thank you.

Hey there Inked-Sorry to hear about your rig, and don't apologize for asking questions, no one knows all the answers about every type of vehicle or problems. I would think that given the symptoms you are providing, that it might be the Crankshaft Position Sensor or CPS. Is the check engine light on?

I should've added that I have read on other forums about running a jumper between number 7 and number 25 to bypass the fuel pump relay. If anyone knows how to bypass the fuel pump relay I would appreciate that advice. Bypassing the relay is what I believe I need to do since I do not have the money to replace the TIPM at this time.

Hey man. Thanks for the quick reply. I believe the crank position sensor is good since while The truck is cranking the RPMs raise up to about 500 or so.

Sure thing man! Sorry my advice was inaccurate. I think you are right about the fuel relay but I haven't worked on a Ram Pickup newer than 2001, and have never performed that particular procedure. I don't want to lead you down the wrong path but found a few videos on the process on you tube. See the link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcV5oAF1hM0

Thanks man. I appreciate the advice and the video. For some reason though I don't know where to jumper in my fuse box. And I know the Rams are different than the car in the video. Do you have any idea where I can search for the answer on how to jumper around the fuel pump relay?
2010 dodge ram 1500 5.7 hemi when I turn the the key the engine cranks I have to push on the gas petal about half way to start the truck if I let off the gas petal the truck will shut off the engine light will start to blink
I have a 08 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 hemi it will crank but won’t start and we are on the side of the road
Im new to this forum and I'm a certified Railcar engineer but I have three dodges ranging from 2010-14 and y'all's might have jumped time like mine I replaced everything but still no fire until I put it on my computer and red a code that led to the timing if anyone else goes thru this ur engine might have jumped time.
in response to bypass on fuel relay try switching it with ac relay should be the same
Did you ever figure this out? I'm having this problem and can't find a straight answer.
