Where is the oil pressure sensor located on a 1983 Dodge 318?

It dont show the date this was asked, so I answered it anyway. From the front of vehicle, look behind the passenger side valve cover. It screws into the head I believe, using an open ended wrench. Do not over tighten when reinstalling but do get it snug to not leak. September 19, 2007

There is no such thing as a Dodge-Baracuda. The Barracuda was made by Plymouth. Dodge made the Challenger which was their version of the Barracuda. In the early 70's both of these musclecars were designed to compete with the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro. The 70-71 Challenger and 'Cuda' are highly desirable in todays collector car market, especially the hemi versions. Try googling collector car trader online.

I have a 2001 Dodge Intrepid and my check engine light came on but I dont have a check coolant light does that mean I need to change my coolant?

The Check Engine Light has come on because the computer has detected a problem with the emissions system. It has nothing to do with the coolant. Take it to a trusted professional and he will scan the computer with an OBD2 scan tool. He will use the fault code as a guide to determine what the problem is. also if you had recently messed with the engine as in unplug something and turned the car on the the light will be on for a few days but eventully turn off

1997 dodge 3500 diesel and the ABS and BRAKE light stays onall fuses and rotorsbrake pads have been changed you are looking for info not to take it to someone?

If the ABS light is on, the computer is telling you that there is an ABS fault. You need to scan the ABS computer, but as of yet there don't seem to be many that are available to the general public. Some brake shops will scan it for you in hopes of repairing it. Try going in for a free estimate. Watch them to make sure they connect a diagnostic code scanner and aren't just guessing. Many times they'll tell you that it's the control module and they won't bother to check anything first, then they'll tell you how many hundreds of dollars a new ABS controller will cost you. Quite often it's just a wheel speed sensor, loose or corroded wire or something else that's much less expensive than the control module, but they're either too lazy or too (pardon me) STUPID to figure it out. If they won't check it and don't know how, they shouldn't be in the business. Sorry about the soabox but I'm so tired of shops automatically assuming that it's the control module and charging people a fortune to repair their ABS. Of course, once they replace the ABS control module and find out that THAT's not the problem, they'll start checking and find the real problem and since they can't take the new module back they'll charge you for it as well and tell you that BOTH were bad. Bonus for them, they sell more parts, and you get to pay for stuff you didn't need. This is one case where it's almost better to let the dealer help you figure it out. They have good code scanners and can pinpoint the failed component far easier than you can. Unfortunately, dealers don't usually give free estimates.

What does no bus mean in the digital mileage odometer on a Dodge?

The "bus" is the communication system that the computers use to talk to each other. Any computer, wiring, or connections can cause this. You need a scan tool to diagnose.

"no bus" means the PCM (computer or module) is not able to communicate. Could be something as simple as a fuse (.50) or as complicated as a bad PCM ($1000.00)

Answer

"NO BUS" means that the communication system between the computers has stopped working.

HELLO: I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP. THE DEALER WANTS 85 DOLLARS AN HOUR TO FIGURE IT OUT.

Hi I have a 2000 Ram 1500 that had the same problem. For me in the Electrical Power Distribution Center ( The fusebox located in the engine compartment ) I have one big connector with a screw down through it that loosens or tightens the connection. Well for some reason that connector wasn't making good contact with at least one or 2 of the pins. I took that off, cleaned it up, and put it back on and everything worked fine. I'm going to clean it better with contact cleaner and coat it with some dielectric grease and see if it stands the test of time. From what I've gathered from many peoples posts is that this specific problem generally seems to be some kind of electrical contact problem and not the Computer or any other major part. someone.

Answer , I had the same "no bus" all gauges dead on my 2000 ram 1500. after looking at all the different answer posted I tried all of them and the one that worked. Was disconnecting the main plug held down by a screw in the fuse box on the engine compartment. I disconnected, blew the plug and the connect with compressed air, plug it back in tighten the screw and my truck is fine again. Everything works as it should.Answer

My father in law just had this problem and discovered, with the help of our local mechanic, that there was a short (or a loose connection) in the steering column, possibly caused by the fact that my father in law adjusts the steering wheel every time he gets in or out of the truck. The wires in the steering column are bound quite tightly, and do not allow for the vertical movement of the steering column. Total cost of the repair was $60 cdn. and a case of beer.

Answer

your computer is dead.

a "bus" is what the main information transfer lines in a computer are called.

"no bus" means no information transfer.

that one is gonna be SPENDY. most likely a couple thousand dollars.

Answer

This does not have to be a computer problem. This can also indicate a loose fuse or a simple bad connection. The bus is simply the ground for the electrical devices in the vehicle. It's a fundamental rule: go for the simple stuff before you spend a pot of money on the complex.

Answer

Had a similar problem and the parking brake was the problem and needed adj-. A simple nudge until hearing the parking brake "click" was a quick temporary fix. Only difference was my truck would not start until this was done.

Make this simple for everyone NO BUS gauges not working is a AGGREGATING ASS PROBLEM. However when you fix it you'll kick your self for how easy it was and wont cost you but maybe 5.00. heres the basic your main fuse panel under the hood has a screw in it with a huge contact. that contact has gone bad/ dirty take out the screw blow out the contact with compressed air pack it with electrical grease put it back in put the screw in TIGHT HAND ONLY and watch all your gauges come back to life. I got a great mech here where i live and after 2 diff dealerships telling me buy a new cluster i knew someone was full of it. then one said my brain was dead . MINI NEWS FLASH IF YOUR BRAIN IN YOUR TRUCK IS DEAD YOUR TRUCK WILL NOT START! again very simple 30 mins fix had this problem off n on for 6 years in my 99 ram which i still have and drive on weekends mine is 1999 V-6 with a super chip i take out to joy ride. do what i said above an your problem will be solved. i haven't had another issue with mine in over 2 years and have gone about 14000 miles without gauges failing

Answer

For me on a 99 2500 dodge ram with NO BUSS

Dodge dealer had it 5 times & said it was fixed, would last from one week to about a month. Then they said I needed a new instrument cluster that they would sell me for $1200.00. I did not do that and I was going to fix it myself, it was the connectors on the back of the instrument panel. I took the instrument panel out then removed the wiring connectors from there holders in the back of the dash. Then I put the instrument panel back in on an angle so I could get my hand in behind it to hook up the connectors on the back of the instrument panel then pushed the instrument panel all the way in, put the screws in. I have had no trouble with it since.

ANSWER:

I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500, and I have tried all of the above, mine reads "no bus" none of the gauges worked or the windshield wipers. I found my problem to be in the ignition switch, you just have to work with the key (jiggle it while still in the switch) a little bit and all the gauges will start working again. there are two parts to the switch the key part and the electrical part. all of the electrical for the gauges runs through the switch. It has just turned over 40,000 miles and the warrenty has ran out on it.

ANSWER:

I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport. The power distribution connector is located under the dash next to the parking brake instead of the engine compartment. I cleaned the connector and it still didn't work but while working on it I wiggled some wires around it and my instrument cluster began working for a while. TurnS out that the bus wires to the fuse box were jammed in the parking brake lever. Cost to fix.......absolutely zip, nada nothing. Thanks for the tips.

ANSWER:

your problem is coming from a bad connection in your fuse box there should be a big wire held by a screw ,clean the surface and retighten and everything should come alive,what happens is that you are loosing comunication with ecm,hope i=this helps,

ANSWER :

I had the same problem , no gages on the Instrumnet panel worked and it said

"no bus " in the milage odometer area. After looking on here and seeing the answers I tried only one and it worked. In the main fuse box under the hood there is a fuse held down by 2 screws I simply unscrewed them and cleaned the contacts with a piece of sand paper and hooked them back up and Magically everything was working again after two weeks without anything working . So thanks to everyone that submits questions and answers because I am sure you all just saved me alot of money that I could not afford to spare right now , THANKS AGAIN ---KEN ( From Toledo , Ohio )

Answer

i had the same problem ive tried everything so far i replaced the computer the body control module the screw all the fuses and a shope has checked every inch of wires and still nothing the cluster some times when i turn the steering wheel back and forth it comes back but there is no bad wires that can be found does anybody have any other options

Answer-

Same problem- Try any/all of these suggestions before taking your truck in. Mine was the screw down connector in the pdm by the battery. I just unscrewed it and blew it out. Everything works fine now! Thanks for the helpful suggestions.

How do you remove the filler pipe from the gas tank on a 1987 dodge omni?

Its a bear of a job to do, hahaha. I've taken the filler tube off my '90 Dodge Omni, because I had to replace the gas tank. I'm pretty sure the tube is made of tin, so so don't worry if it kinda gives at the elbow when you're wrestling it out.

Anyway, take off the rear right wheel (the wheel under the gas cap) to make it easier to get to the tube. Loosen and take out the four screws that hold the top of filler tube. Now using some elbow grease (no pun intended) grab the filler tube close to where it meets the gas tank and pull it away from the tank. It will require some effort, but the tube should come out. If the tube bends a tad, don't worry, just make sure you have enough clearance between the tire and the filler tube when you put the tube back on.

What it all boils down to is just taking that wheel off, the top 4 screws holding it on, and wrestling it out.

And when you put a filler tube back in, put vaseline (or some kind of lubricant) on the gas tank end (the end which slides into the tank). Put that end into the tank first, and then try to line up the top of the tube with those four bolt holes from which we removed earlier. While you hold it there lined up the with the bolt holes, have an assistant screw in the two top bolts first. When he has those started, you should be able to let go and drive the other two bottom bolts in. Make sure there's enough clearance between the tube and the tire. If not, just push the bottom end of the tube more into the gas tank, even if it bends a little. Tighten everything up, put your wheel back on, and you should be good to go.

Why would water be coming out the back of your 1987 Dodge 318 motor are there freeze plugs in the back of the block?

When the engine is removed from the engine compartment, and detached from the transmission, there are freeze plugs on the back side of the engine. You may be able to just disconnect the engine from the transmission, and loosen the motor mounts and lift the engine partially away to replace the freeze plugs.
