My car keeps saying low-voltage and going into limp mode I did a ton of research and I went to the junkyard and pulled a TIPM from another Chrysler 200 and I put it in and connected the ground battery and the car alarm started going off and the wipers and everything so I immediately shut it off and I am doing what you said. I’m in the parking lot though, so I don’t know if I can leave it for hours.
I drove real fast, jumped out and let it run straight into a wall it worked on my cruiser and caravan. Never had the issue again. Saved me tons of money!
My 2011 Durango wouldn't crank or even click. The code reader said all was well. I scheduled a tow to the shop but thought I'd try your trick first. Tied the cables together for 24 hours & it worked perfectly. Thanks my man!
That's great news! But I would remain cautious for a while. It may come back. Overnight resets are good for temporarily clearing symptoms, but often an underlying cause is still there. So just be on the lookout for a while that the problem may come back. If you do find yourself stranded, know that to clear the "won't even crank" condition, often you may only need 5 -10 mins of tying the cables together to get you back on the road. It may last for a few weeks or just that one session before coming back. It is also possible that your battery posts had merely built up too much oxidization/corrosion, and by the act of removing them and re-attaching, it made for better contact between the cables and posts and you'll be fine from here on. If it ever comes to it, know that we do have the '11 Durango TIPMs in stock. Good luck!
Retired 29 year Dodge Tune Up Mechanic, I always just held them together without any issue so I never heard of doing anything with headlamps, not from Chrysler Training, a tsb or hotline news letter
We been @RocksNRuts4 doing this since the 1980's,,,, yes everything is hooked up & connected like normal then disconnect the positive & negative battery connections & touch them for a few minutes.
Thanks!!! I had a P0128 coolant thermostat fault on my 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan. Replaced the sensor but fault P0128 came back. Did what you said by disconnecting battery. It worked & cleaned the fault.
I have a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and recently it had not started. This wasn’t the first time this had happened, in fact about a month ago I had went to a salon and was in there for about 4-5 hours and when I came out my car wouldn’t start. There was no turnover when I turned the key but everything inside worked that was battery powered so I knew it did not need to be jumped. I ended up having to get it towed and the dealership could not find anything wrong with it the next day. (It started right away for them) So about $400 later for the tow and the full inspection they had no answer for us but said that it could possibly be water damage in the TIPM. They said it would be $500 just for a new one not including the installation. This time around I found THIS VIDEO!!!! I followed the exact steps and tried to let it sit for two hours the first time and no luck. But when I let the tipm sit inside over night and put it back together the next morning, the car started right up. It’s a great feeling to have saved probably close to $1000 by doing something that took 10 minutes to take out and then 10 minutes to put back together. THANKYOU FOR THIS TRICK!! So awesome
Just wanted to say this works for a 2008 Dodge Avenger. I had a headlight go out because of a bad TIPM. After a 45 dollar charge for a used TIPM on EBay and the hard reset described in this video my headlight is working fine. Even noticed that my power windows and windshield wipers are more responsive. Thanks for making this video, the dealer wanted to charge me a $1000 to replace and "reprogram" the TIPM. What you do really saves average folks money.Thanks Mak!
hello daniel if you have that reset info handy i would love to have information as i have just purchased a 1998 yj safari 4.0 liter jeep. if you like please email me the reset procedure at buckleywelding@hotmail.com thanks alot.
SO I HAD LEFT WHEEL SENSOR ON ABS LIGHT ON ESP LIGHT ON MY STEERING WHEEL WAS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY IT WAS A NIGHTMARE. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AS SHOWN HERE AND CONNECTED CABLES TOGEATHER WITH A 🔧 SINCE IT DIDNT REACH FOR 5 MINUTES CAME BACK CONNECTED + CABLE THEN - CABLE TO BATTERY AND HOLY MOTHER OF GOD !!! ALL LIGHTS CAME OFF CAR RUNNING GOOD !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mak is a great man,very contributor to all people who don't have money ,but have a lot of interest to know new things. I just follow step by step all Mak instructions and successfully rest my son Jeep Patriot 2010 without: turn and head lights , wipers,ABS fail warning. Thank you very much,we need more young good people like you,honest and smarts..God Bless you
when everything started failing did your battery happen to drain? I have the same issues but my battery completely drained. So I just changed out my tipm with a new one, and jumped my car. Not sure where I went wrong :(. Thanks!
I sent my TIPM to Maks. I was told he had a rebuilt TIPM. When I arrived to his shop. They didn’t have my any rebuilds. They gave me a BRAND NEW Tipm at no additional cost. It came with easy to install instructions and warranty. My Jeep Cherokee started right up. Totally honest ppl and great work. Thank you Maks
I just finished changing out my TIPM on a Chrysler Town and country, IT WORKS WOW thank you for your help. Now at first I thought something was wrong, not everything works. After turning it off and on a few times and letting it run some stuff started to work. After I reset the codes (it didnt read and faults, rest it anyway) everything works . Thank you Mr. Cabessa.
This worked on my '06 Dodge RAM 2500! I had an issue with the wipers not working correctly. I disconnected the battery terminals and zip-tied them together as in the video. I did not, however, disconnect all the plugs on the bottom of the TIPM. I let it sit over night and the next morning the wipers were working the way they should. Thanks Mack, I appreciate the tip!
I have 3 Chrysler/Dodge Caravans, 2001 to 2007. All of them had electrical issues when I got them [probably why they were sold cheap at auction] Mainly battery drain down and gauges going bonkers. I disconnected the battery and pulled all the plugs off the electric brain, TIPM. I carefully cleaned the male plugs with a brush or q tip and then coated all connectors with NO-ALOX a common electrical corrosion preventer and connection enhancer. Problem solved permanently on all three. Never did the battery cable connection to one another, obviously didn't need to at least in my 3 cases. But great info here, thanks
Thank you so much 🙏 My Chrysler Pacifica sat for 2 weeks we replaced battery, starter, alternator and still couldn't figure out why the battery light was on and it wouldn't stay running. We saw your video and did what you said and battery light went out and it runs like it was brand new!!!!
@Torrey Giovanna I did it myself. I did have to unplug it twice and replug to get a good connection with the TIPM. The first 2 times it didn't work properly because plugs weren't fully seated. Works perfectly now.
I really hope this helps my Avenger. I just received the repaired TIPM from them and tried the soft reset several times and even totally unplugged the TIPM and reconnected everything. Still nothing. I'm doing the hard reset overnight. Praying for it to start tomorrow 🙏
@ed elsey double check connections I can't stress this enough. Make sure plugs are fully seated and locked on TIPM or else it will not work. If all else fails you may need to spring for a new used replacement which costs a few bucks more but still beats buying a new unit from the stealership.
Just unplugged everything last night and am about to plug it all back in and pray it works. I have 2 kids and the old TIPM made my fan not work, it’s too hot for no ac so hopefully this does the job.
I was working on a 2012 town and country that had multiple issues, including a battery drain, the right brake light on all the time, the fuel sendor signal was erratic, had a code for ign/run circuit, so we bought a used TIPM and installed and it wouldn't start! , I start reading online and heard you can't even program a used tipm, so we're just about to order a brand new tipm, but I kept searching online and found mak's website, so I emailed him and told him if he could help me figure out why it wouldn't start even after the hard reset procedure, he asked me to double check connections, but I kept thinking to myself that all the connectors were installed right because I made sure I heard the "click " on every one , but sure enough one wasn't seated all the way, the van started and all I had to do was an abs intialization procedure. Thank you Mak so much for everything i will definitely spread the word to all my fellow shop mates!
I DID 3.5 HOUR reset on 14 Ram 6.7 diesel,,, it worked good so far with original TIPM,,,,, NO driving and dying,,, I connected + and - on both sides and its all of a sudden back to running good again
Hi Mak, YES I was told, the TPIM DOES have to be reprogrammed if it's not the original TPIM. Apparently the TIPM need to have my VIN number "entered" into a different TIPM, or it won't read the vehicles ecu. Do you have a video explaining why this is true or not true.
My 2008 Town & Country had no power including use of mod, no power to door locks or lights in instrument panel. Just did a hard reset (disconnecting and tied the pos/neg cables together) for an hour. Reconnected cables and it started right up! Thank you for this video.
Mine don't have strong power on my locks but when I try to lock it you can hear it as if it wants to lock but it don't and not even the little things go up and down to show it's locked
My issue was the red main power connector going into the tipm. Lights and speedometer would flicker and act crazy. I tried everything. It happened again and I removed the battery, tipped tipm over and wiggled main wire. Worked like a champ. About every 3 months I do this. Trying to find a permanent solder or connect to fabricate.
Don't tie those cables together on a diesel unless Both batteries are disconnected!!! Same in reverse don't forget to separate them both before connecting them to either battery. Or you're going to have major fireworks under your hood!
I have a chrysler 200 2015. It's a nightmare. This is the only thing I haven't tried. I hope this works!! I'll update it may be a few days. Putting this here for other chrysler 200 owners going search crazy
I'm over 60 and paid 127.00 to the Chrysler dealer to replace the light bulb in the back tail light on my van. Went to AutoZone and they replaced all the lights free of charge.
2008 Chrysler Town and Country with 158k miles. On Christmas Day while 700 miles from home, our van wouldn't even attempt to turn over using key fob or ignition switch. Radio would turn on, lights would turn on, and key fob would even open sliding doors. However, the horn wouldn't work, door locks wouldn't work using either the key fob or internal buttons. Even though my battery was only 2 weeks old, I placed it on a trickle charger for a few hours just in case. No change. I disconnected and reconnected the battery and still couldn't start the van. I started researching my symptoms and came across this video. I disconnected the battery, shorted the cables together, and removed the TIPM. While the TIPM was removed, I re-validated each of the fuses and then let it sit for about an hour. Upon re-connecting the TIPM, I let it sit for another 30 minutes before plugging the battery back in. Once I did that, I noticed my door locks began working and my van fired right up! Although Christmas turned into frustration, I'm so happy to know I'm not showing up at a dealership in a desperate state to make it home. I may still replace the van soon, but at least I have time to make an informed decision. Thanks!!!
If you have two batterys do you need to disconnect both and zip tie both terminals together. Also can you explain why do you have to unplug all the plugs from the tipm seems like with all batteries disconnected it would not make a difference?
This works every time! Thank you MAC for the advice and replacing my bad ones when they finally die. Crysler should have done a recall on all TIPM's. I have two Crysler cars that are both garage kept and well cared for. We have on-going issues with these TIPM's. Never buy a Crysler with a TIPM unless you have a current warranty to deal with the continuous issues you'll have with them.
i guess Im asking randomly but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the password. I love any tips you can offer me!
@Kash Chandler i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Dude, how do I send you a thank you? This worked perfectly on my 2016 Ram 2500 and you just saved me over $150. I was pulling my hair out before I saw your video. Can't thank you enough.
I bought my '08 Dodge Avenger on August 4th 2017 and it seemed fine up until September 5th, when I got an oil change at Jiffy Lube. They told me my rear turn signals weren't working, which came as a shock to me, since I always signal and would have noticed the dash blinking double-time prior to that oil change. I knew my trunk lid used to fill up with water, so I changed my bulbs, removed the plugs from the bottom of the trunk and sealed the 3rd trunk light fixture with silicone to prevent water from getting in during heavy rains. None of that worked. From there my troubles grew to no brake lights, trouble starting (I had to use a jumper pack 90% of the time and even then, it took 2-7 attempts) and even my car completely shutting off on me while I was driving. Last symptom was my passenger side window refusing to close and having to fight with the switch for about 5mins. I got my car diagnosed at a Dodge dealership on 9/20 and they told me I needed a new PCM, TIPM, tune up, trans service, battery, cam position sensor, and valve cover gasket. I was completely unwilling to invest that much into this vehicle and they seemed adamant about getting me to just trade my car in and buy one from them OR pay $3300 (almost double what I paid for the car) and wait 2months for them to receive backordered replacement parts. Absolutely not. However, I did go ahead and buy a battery from Sears on 9/23. They said that it was grounding out and that there was an electrical issue in my vehicle that was causing the TWO brand new batteries they placed in it to test badly. They even upgraded it to a Diehard Gold for me for free because they were simply baffled by the issue. That new battery ended up reducing the frequency of my startup troubles, but all the other power issues remained I spoke to Mak Cabessa and Jason Bell, the TIPM experts, on 9/28. They recommend I change the TIPM module, so I ordered a used one for $40 on eBay (with the $6, 6-month warranty) to install for myself. It arrived on Tuesday, but I waited until Friday after work to install it. I followed the steps on the verticalvisions website and IT FIXED EVERYTHING!!! It's like I just woke up from a nightmare and I couldn't be more proud and relieved. DO NOT LET DODGE FOOL YOU INTO BUYING A TIPM FROM THEM!!!
My girl has a 05 Sebring 2.7, she drove threw some water & now the battery light is on/ comes on & off. The battery was garbage when she 1st got it so I paid just under $200.& got her a new battery & it was fine for several years until she drove threw deep water! What can I do to remedy this situation?????
Kaliym Toppin thanks for sharing...im having electrical issues with my 09 dodge charger after putting some aftermarket headlights in...ordering my tipm today...pray it fixes my running/parking light problem...will update soon
I appreciate that I'm having the same problem right now understood my actuators and now she won't start so I charge the battery and she still won't start need help
Hi Mak, instead of waiting for several hours with the battery disconnected to drain the energy from the vehicle. Why not disconnect the battery and turning the ignition once or twice? It will not start the vehicle or anything, but anything electrical in the system will use that energy. Thus draining it, resetting the fault codes and causing a hard reset to the TIPM. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I got a 2018 ram 1500. No headlights and parking light issues in the front. Wiring harness looks good on both sides and connectors look good. Replaced the headlight switch any wasn't the problem.
@TIPMRebuildersKevin I've done a few tipm. Those had wiper, door lock, fuel pump issues etc. There's no fuse or relay for headlights in this thing? Never seen that. All the fuses are good.. none are designated to lighting at all. Weird. Just don't want to pull the trigger on the tipm and that not correct it
F.Y.I... These guys are legit!! With this insight (and a few of their others videos) i replaced the tipm in my 2016 dodge ram... Solo... I left a comment, they responded expeditiously.. Even insisted that i call in if i had any questions. I gave them a call only to find that they are extremely helpful, professional and polite.. #Im very grateful... Thanks🙏
How much you charge for a rebuilt tipm. ? 09 dodge avenger 2.7. Left side head lights not working. New bulbs. New engine. As well. And im hearing that the brske booster needs to be reset. Im thinking its all in the tipm
Hello Kevin, Please feel free to give us a call if you have the time ,so that I may see what part number your vehicle takes in order to get you price and availability for said part. Hope to hear from you soon!
A friend of mine is having typical TIPM symptoms on a 09 Grand Caravan. She took it to the dealership and they said she needed a new TIPM. Her problems (so far) have been with the wipers and lights, no drivability issues (again, so far.) I found a tipm from a junkyard that they say is good. Just so I'm clear on this, your saying it won't need any programming from the dealership? Just a "hard reset"? UPDATE 2-5-18 Bought a junkyard TIPM for the '09 Grand caravan. Used this procedure he shows in the video. It worked just like he said. The dealership told us it wouldn't work and wanted $100 to program the used one.
Hi Mak.I have a 2017 Ram 1500. It has a blinker issue on the Pass Front only. All other lights function as they should including signals. Could this be a quick repair solution? Asking before I attempt because I don't want to fry anything.. Thanks in advance.
Can you please explain why I would need to reset my TIPM? What symptoms arise that would require this? Im having issues with my Jeep and I'm just curious if this might help or not. Thank you!
ZEVO LED BULBS (maybe all LED bulbs) on my 2007 RAM 1500 slt WILL WORK, FLASH, AND EVERYTHING BUT THE CHIME FOR BRAKE AND HYPER FLASHING stays on anyway. Truck WON'T RECOGNIZE THE LED from regular. I read that a special scan can change it but I just went back to regulars and fixed this evil problem. Happy hunting. I did do this TiPM reset and cleaned it out, and put it back together, so this is a good video.
Why would unplugging the tipm be necessary? The purpose of crossing the negative to positive is to discharge the capacitors ( the only components that remain energized after the vehicle is shut down)
i am a chrysler tech and we just disconnect the battery and touch the cables once for a few seconds and leave the battery disconnected for 20 min. thats it...
after you attach positive and negative cable go inside and turn the ignition key to on position and leave it on for about 2 hours this will help drain all the capacitors
@@420frankp depends on amount of capacitance and resistance (or load) in series with capacitor. There are other capacitors in the electronics that will take more time. Shorting the battery cables will not instantly drain every capacitor.
@@micropyro7470 however leaving them connected together to ensure every bit is drained newer style capacitors should instantly have the ability to discharge all stored energy and almost instantly be able to recharge once power is applied…no memory no wait that’s what makes capacitors ideal it’s not like sending water down a small pipe where it has a restriction of flow or in this case electrons it’s like a dam when open all out at once so while I agree it’s best to still leave things connected to make sure every last bit is gone typically they’re drained within seconds
2010 Grand Caravan ghost dash lights random starts no key and windows going up and down and no start when fob inserted. These are random issues that plague this minivan has 178k on it tipm replaced at 101k before I became owner at 122k. I don't know the previous owners issues. Is the suggestion to do a hard reset draining the system. And disconnect the tipm or just remove it and send it to you?
@@dean4069 yes the fob tabs inside were no longer in there original seated positions. So they were probably based on temperature or some surrounding change that triggered them to activate the auto start or at least trigger it and somehow it triggered the computer to send signal to window actuators. Has to be a frequency related design flaw. I have yet to have my electric specialist track the electrical diagram so figure this completely. But I rebuilt the fob now the fob works and no love ghost issues. I ordered another fob for my mother she's 72 so getting her a fresh one. Now just have to get the oil pan gasket and rear wheel bearing done.
Have a 2008 dodge avenger 2.4. Have done a lot of work and all that is left is a P0882 code which doesn't power the transmission solenoid. It will work and shift, then it won't and stays in Limp In. Dealer just diagnosed bad TIPM and said it needs replaced. How are originals repaired? I was told by the dealer as well as several forum post that states the TIPM needs reprogrammed with the vehicle VIN?
All the light's on the dash all went on, and the wind shield wipers, in my 2014 Town and Country van. Drove me crazy, still can't find the reason. Do you have any tips??? Any video's you recommend? Maybe I have to do what you did in the video. How would you check out the rest of the van for electrical problems? Do you us electrical cleaner, and grease when you work on the conections?
Yes, this 2005 300 is my first and last Chrysler product. As an ASE Master tech, I have NEVER seen such a pile of shit. The tail light goes out, and it repositions global satellites. GEEZZE ! Get me a Ford, at least it will start, and chances are that it will not knock either...………………….
I would just add that you should probably cover your battery terminals with something (like a clean towel) to prevent the cables from touching the battery. Or take the battery out before you leave it over night.
Great Jennifer! Hopefully it was just needed to clear a few odd errant codes and the problem is gone for good. If it comes back, there may be something not right with the TIPM, so let us know. If it does come back, and you need to clear it more quickly to get home (particularly the brake lights issue), you can try just doing it for 15 minutes or so to see if that is enough to clear it again (and at least temporarily) get your brake lights back to get home. Good luck!
your the best man keep up your good work I reset my 2012 dodge grand caravan and it worked . like you said connect both cable and left off for 2days Thank yo so much for saving money
My TIPM is acting up now, 2015 RAM 1500. Check engine, low voltage off and on (new battery). Yesterday my fuel indicator bottomed out at empty then came back a short while later. Gotta love Dodge and their issues.
Hello and thank you for your video. I own a 2017 Ram 1500. After I lock truck via the remote or the door lock button on door, after about 10 seconds the doors unlock, headlights stay on and hazards blink quickly twice and repeatedly every few minutes. Can this be a TIPM issue?
to do a hard reset all you have to do is disconnect the battery and touch the positive and negative together for a couple seconds not hours or over night....
Rick Stancil will that help my headlight to stay on...? I brought a new bulb & it lasted 1 day then went back out but my daytime running lights & driver side headlight works fine... only my passenger side headlight is out...
I'm sorry if I overlooked it or not. But, aren't you supposed to leave the TIPM hooked up to drain it electronically.? So, you unhook the TIPM after you disconected the battery. Then plug it in?
I have a 2009 Jeep Patriot. First the passenger side parking lamp went out(not Bulb) then the check engine light came on with codes for O2 sensor, Intake Manifold control, and A.C clutch. All 4 problems had the same ground connection on the frame by the Alternator. I cut off ground lug, soldered all 6 or so wires together and used a large copper screw down connector to connect the ground wires to the frame of the Jeep. Problem solved.
Is it really necessary to unplug it to get it to reset? Wouldn't just grounding the terminals do the trick alone. Trying to reset my current one before i purchase another one.
Touching the positive and negative cables together to do what now? To do what exactly? Discharge capacitors... That's what your saying. Lemme think this over a second... nope it didn't take that long. I recommend not doing that. Just disconnect the battery and leave it set... turn on the headlamps and turn the ignition switch to the on position with the battery disconnected. A capacitor is the same as a positive- negative flow system, touching the cables together to "Discharge capacitors" is the same thought of touching 12 volt battery cables together with a charged battery hooked up on the other end... it can, or may, destroy the capacitors much like it might fry the 12 battery.. Turning the ignition switch on, with the battery removed from the system, and operating most of your electronics with the battery disconnected, drains the capacitors correctly without taking the chance to short out capacitors.... Before you put the battery back to hot, make sure everything you turned on... is turned off...then hook the battery back up... It wont take 2 hours to discharge capacitors doing it this way. It'll take less than 5 minuets. Just sayin'....
This was a great video. I appreciate what you guys are doing to help out the guy who can't afford to play games with the dealers or pay exorbitant prices for parts. Your my heros.
Does anybody ever send this guy any money? I'm guessing he's not living the high life. Too nice a guy. He gives all his time away and I bet no one even sends him 10% of what they saved. Just a thought after reading 5 or 6 of these comments. Don't mean to pick on anyone or be rude. peace
Hey I disconnected the negative terminal and connected to the postive .. spark happened and cable got hot .. I think the auxiliary battery might of caused this
I have a problem with my 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan. The passenger-side heater is stuck on high, even when it's turned off. I read somewhere that disconnecting one of the battery terminals and touching the cable to the other terminal would reset the HVAC system and cure this problem. What do you think?
when you do this, you can turn on your truck's headlights to help drain the battery down faster. Be sure to turn those headlights back off after you have allowed the battery to drain and are then ready to install the unit and hook the battery up once again.
I replaced tipm I have 2010 challenger still doesn't start plastic clips were broke that are on connectors but are plugged in good please help don't have $ to take to dealer I'm stuck
Thank you for your informative video 👍 My company work truck starting having issues recently. It wanting to start. It takes over 12 times to get it started. The shop replaced the fuel pump and still having the same issue. Now they’re replacing the TIPM. If I t was my personal truck, I’ll would definitely have you guys repair the TIPM as reference this video...
Shorting the battery cables should cause any charged caps to discharge completely in minutes. Not hours and certainly overnight. IF you disconnect the FUSE box, you're essentially accomplishing the same END, however, disconnecting it will cause you to have to wait longer but certainly NOT SEVERAL HOURS as the charged caps SLOWLY lose their residual charge! There is IN FACT NO NEED to do both. And most certainly you only need to short the battery terminals for a few seconds to maybe a minute or so. Really, you only need to disconnect the NEGATIVE Battery terminal for a few minutes and that should be long enough to any charged capacitors to discharge completely. Peace
If you've rebuilt them, then you should know where the capacitors are and discharge them and it will be reset and function normally. What you are doing is resetting the TIPM the hard way in my opinion. Shorting the battery terminals isn't enough by itself because of a bit of impedance caused by minor to major corrosion, wire length, common +/- connections a the Starter motor. The charged capacitors need to be completely shorted out and or allowed to die over time. I would think that if you leave the battery terminals shorted for a few hours - in the case of resistance - that should do the trick. You could figure out which wires that plug into the TIPM are the power wires for each section, and short them to kill the caps. The only place residual charge will remain is in the caps, or anywhere there is capacitance in any of the lines. It is convenient and simplified to have the TIPM under the hood but it's best to have inside the vehicle where it's completely out of the harsh environment being exposed to the elements including constant oxidation! In any case, your solution obviously works, I personally wouldn't go that route but, your method does work! Good work and Godspeed young man!
I heard itz best to jb weld the terminals together for. A week and a day . and then for an hour drive around only making left turns and it resets the computer😀👍
Do you have to disconnect the tipm ? Or can you just disconnect the battery terminals and connect the positive and ground together the achieve same result if you left it over night? Ty
Hey buddy awesome video. Let me ask a ? My 2001 and 2003 jeep Cherokee laredo's V6 have both stopped running . Both are maintenance regular and driven everyday. They will both turn over but not crank . Any ideas why ? Thanks
Just ran into your video. I know it was made years ago. So my issue is my ac compressor quit working. After some troubleshooting with a probe I have found the plug from the harness has no power. Took it to a mechanic that looked over it and says it needs a new TIPM. I found one for $100 bucks at a junkyard. Question is should I try this before buying the other one? Is it a possibility it will fix it? I mean I guess it won’t hurt to try.
I would rather pay the dealer 105 to reset mine 😂😂😂 I have to go through jacking the car up taking the tire off to get to my battery.... classic Chrysler my first and last one 😞 dodge is a POS.... whoever designed them cars was a jack azz
I don't suggest buying any front wheel drive GM vwhicles from 2002-2014, all their batteries are in the trunk under the floor boards, and if you have stuff in the trunk, may the powers that be bless your upper body strength and patience. Because if you have battery or electrical issues, it's a royal pain in the azz to move and remove things just to get to the battery or spare tire.
not only was it that easy the reset totally worked on my 2011 JK - Cooling Fan codes gone and no more check engine light every time the fan comes on. Thanks!
@@dpost82 It was at the time, but about 3-4 weeks later it came back and after a few other replacement items (fan. switch, coolant relay) I ended up replacing the TIPM and then reset again :(
I put a transmission in my 07 dodge charger out of a 06 chrysler 300 i drove it shifted fine now its saying incorrect gear ratio..ive tried alotta crazy things ..this tipm is that the box that holds all the fushes..i may try disconnecting it just to see what happens for awhile..

My car keeps saying low-voltage and going into limp mode I did a ton of research and I went to the junkyard and pulled a TIPM from another Chrysler 200 and I put it in and connected the ground battery and the car alarm started going off and the wipers and everything so I immediately shut it off and I am doing what you said. I’m in the parking lot though, so I don’t know if I can leave it for hours.
In your other videos you NEVER mention waiting hours for energy to dissipate. How important is it?
I fixed my Chrysler by driving it right into a lake! Took care of everything. Then I started driving something else that actually worked.
😭😂🤣
I lite a match 😜😜😜
I drove real fast, jumped out and let it run straight into a wall it worked on my cruiser and caravan. Never had the issue again. Saved me tons of money!
Sounds like a good idea
😹
My 2011 Durango wouldn't crank or even click. The code reader said all was well. I scheduled a tow to the shop but thought I'd try your trick first. Tied the cables together for 24 hours & it worked perfectly. Thanks my man!
That's great news!
But I would remain cautious for a while. It may come back. Overnight resets are good for temporarily clearing symptoms, but often an underlying cause is still there. So just be on the lookout for a while that the problem may come back. If you do find yourself stranded, know that to clear the "won't even crank" condition, often you may only need 5 -10 mins of tying the cables together to get you back on the road. It may last for a few weeks or just that one session before coming back. It is also possible that your battery posts had merely built up too much oxidization/corrosion, and by the act of removing them and re-attaching, it made for better contact between the cables and posts and you'll be fine from here on.
If it ever comes to it, know that we do have the '11 Durango TIPMs in stock.
Good luck!
If you turn on the headlights/high beams before disconnecting the battery it will drain the capacitors much faster. (Retired Chrysler Tech)
So, you leave the TIPM hooked up to dranin it right?
Retired 29 year Dodge Tune Up Mechanic, I always just held them together without any issue so I never heard of doing anything with headlamps, not from Chrysler Training, a tsb or hotline news letter
@@StationRussification no the tipm, leave connected or disconnect as shown, he asked?
We been @RocksNRuts4 doing this since the 1980's,,,, yes everything is hooked up & connected like normal then disconnect the positive & negative battery connections & touch them for a few minutes.
@@StationRussification i tried kilmers way didnt do anything, evn kept radio pre sets lol Ill try ur way then kevs...
Thanks!!! I had a P0128 coolant thermostat fault on my 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan. Replaced the sensor but fault P0128 came back. Did what you said by disconnecting battery. It worked & cleaned the fault.
I have a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and recently it had not started. This wasn’t the first time this had happened, in fact about a month ago I had went to a salon and was in there for about 4-5 hours and when I came out my car wouldn’t start. There was no turnover when I turned the key but everything inside worked that was battery powered so I knew it did not need to be jumped. I ended up having to get it towed and the dealership could not find anything wrong with it the next day. (It started right away for them) So about $400 later for the tow and the full inspection they had no answer for us but said that it could possibly be water damage in the TIPM. They said it would be $500 just for a new one not including the installation. This time around I found THIS VIDEO!!!! I followed the exact steps and tried to let it sit for two hours the first time and no luck. But when I let the tipm sit inside over night and put it back together the next morning, the car started right up. It’s a great feeling to have saved probably close to $1000 by doing something that took 10 minutes to take out and then 10 minutes to put back together. THANKYOU FOR THIS TRICK!! So awesome
Hello Sarah,
I'm glad we were able to help! If you have any future issues feel free to give us a call!
Just wanted to say this works for a 2008 Dodge Avenger. I had a headlight go out because of a bad TIPM. After a 45 dollar charge for a used TIPM on EBay and the hard reset described in this video my headlight is working fine. Even noticed that my power windows and windshield wipers are more responsive. Thanks for making this video, the dealer wanted to charge me a $1000 to replace and "reprogram" the TIPM. What you do really saves average folks money.Thanks Mak!
Daniel Schetter how many miles was on yours bro
140K miles... too many problems with this car past 90K... Last Dodge I'll ever own.
hello daniel if you have that reset info handy i would love to have information as i have just purchased a 1998 yj safari 4.0 liter jeep. if you like please email me the reset procedure at buckleywelding@hotmail.com thanks alot.
Hi Daniel the tipm you bought on ebay was from a junkyard?
I have an 09 Avenger with 219,000 miles...still running good. Did it fix any other issues you had on your Avenger?
SO I HAD LEFT WHEEL SENSOR ON ABS LIGHT ON ESP LIGHT ON MY STEERING WHEEL WAS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY IT WAS A NIGHTMARE. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AS SHOWN HERE AND CONNECTED CABLES TOGEATHER WITH A 🔧 SINCE IT DIDNT REACH FOR 5 MINUTES CAME BACK CONNECTED + CABLE THEN - CABLE TO BATTERY AND HOLY MOTHER OF GOD !!! ALL LIGHTS CAME OFF CAR RUNNING GOOD !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAX JAM hay if I wanna just do a reset can I just do the battery step
Mak is a great man,very contributor to all people who don't have money ,but have a lot of interest to know new things. I just follow step by step all Mak instructions and successfully rest my son Jeep Patriot 2010 without: turn and head lights , wipers,ABS fail warning. Thank you very much,we need more young good people like you,honest and smarts..God Bless you
when everything started failing did your battery happen to drain? I have the same issues but my battery completely drained. So I just changed out my tipm with a new one, and jumped my car. Not sure where I went wrong :(. Thanks!
I sent my TIPM to Maks. I was told he had a rebuilt TIPM. When I arrived to his shop. They didn’t have my any rebuilds. They gave me a BRAND NEW Tipm at no additional cost. It came with easy to install instructions and warranty. My Jeep Cherokee started right up. Totally honest ppl and great work. Thank you Maks
I just finished changing out my TIPM on a Chrysler Town and country, IT WORKS WOW thank you for your help.
Now at first I thought something was wrong, not everything works. After turning it off and on a few times and letting it run some stuff started to work. After I reset the codes (it didnt read and faults, rest it anyway) everything works .
Thank you Mr. Cabessa.
Scott Preston did u buy another tipm or u just reset it
This worked on my '06 Dodge RAM 2500! I had an issue with the wipers not working correctly. I disconnected the battery terminals and zip-tied them together as in the video. I did not, however, disconnect all the plugs on the bottom of the TIPM. I let it sit over night and the next morning the wipers were working the way they should. Thanks Mack, I appreciate the tip!
Im so glad to hear it worked for you!! thanks for the comment!! :)
Did you have take both battery cables off and but them together or just one side ?
I have 3 Chrysler/Dodge Caravans, 2001 to 2007. All of them had electrical issues when I got them [probably why they were sold cheap at auction] Mainly battery drain down and gauges going bonkers. I disconnected the battery and pulled all the plugs off the electric brain, TIPM. I carefully cleaned the male plugs with a brush or q tip and then coated all connectors with NO-ALOX a common electrical corrosion preventer and connection enhancer. Problem solved permanently on all three. Never did the battery cable connection to one another, obviously didn't need to at least in my 3 cases. But great info here, thanks
Richard Raucina where can I get my tips replaced dave@appliedsound.net
Nolox is for aluminum... Silicone gel is for copper.
Replying to save

Thank you so much 🙏 My Chrysler Pacifica sat for 2 weeks we replaced battery, starter, alternator and still couldn't figure out why the battery light was on and it wouldn't stay running. We saw your video and did what you said and battery light went out and it runs like it was brand new!!!!
Worked just as you explained. Vehicle started right up after unplugging rebuilt TIPM and replugging after discharging capacitors. Thank you
Did you do this yourself or did you take it to someone else to do it ?? Im having same problem jgc 2011 wont start
@Torrey Giovanna I did it myself. I did have to unplug it twice and replug to get a good connection with the TIPM. The first 2 times it didn't work properly because plugs weren't fully seated. Works perfectly now.
I really hope this helps my Avenger. I just received the repaired TIPM from them and tried the soft reset several times and even totally unplugged the TIPM and reconnected everything. Still nothing. I'm doing the hard reset overnight. Praying for it to start tomorrow 🙏
@ed elsey double check connections I can't stress this enough. Make sure plugs are fully seated and locked on TIPM or else it will not work. If all else fails you may need to spring for a new used replacement which costs a few bucks more but still beats buying a new unit from the stealership.
@@elsey1976 did it work tomorrow? Lol, I really do want to know
Just unplugged everything last night and am about to plug it all back in and pray it works. I have 2 kids and the old TIPM made my fan not work, it’s too hot for no ac so hopefully this does the job.
What happened?
?
I was working on a 2012 town and country that had multiple issues, including a battery drain, the right brake light on all the time, the fuel sendor signal was erratic, had a code for ign/run circuit, so we bought a used TIPM and installed and it wouldn't start! , I start reading online and heard you can't even program a used tipm, so we're just about to order a brand new tipm, but I kept searching online and found mak's website, so I emailed him and told him if he could help me figure out why it wouldn't start even after the hard reset procedure, he asked me to double check connections, but I kept thinking to myself that all the connectors were installed right because I made sure I heard the "click " on every one , but sure enough one wasn't seated all the way, the van started and all I had to do was an abs intialization procedure. Thank you Mak so much for everything i will definitely spread the word to all my fellow shop mates!
Do you need to disconnect the tipm or is the battery part enough?
Thanks for your information.
Did it on a 2014 Jeep Compass. Left it for 4 hours.
Saved aud$700.
What was wrong with your compass?
@@DKE0606 probably everything, I have one with 81k (kilometers) and has been a very bad car.
I DID 3.5 HOUR reset on 14 Ram 6.7 diesel,,, it worked good so far with original TIPM,,,,, NO driving and dying,,, I connected + and - on both sides and its all of a sudden back to running good again
Did you disconnect AND RECONNECT all.the wires from the TIPM OR just did both. Batteries cables together to do hard reset? Thanks for you help
can I do this hard reset without unplugging all the connectors and just keeping the battery terminals together for a few hrs?
Hi Mak, YES I was told, the TPIM DOES have to be reprogrammed if it's not the original TPIM. Apparently the TIPM need to have my VIN number "entered" into a different TIPM, or it won't read the vehicles ecu. Do you have a video explaining why this is true or not true.
My 2008 Town & Country had no power including use of mod, no power to door locks or lights in instrument panel. Just did a hard reset (disconnecting and tied the pos/neg cables together) for an hour. Reconnected cables and it started right up! Thank you for this video.
Mine don't have strong power on my locks but when I try to lock it you can hear it as if it wants to lock but it don't and not even the little things go up and down to show it's locked
My issue was the red main power connector going into the tipm. Lights and speedometer would flicker and act crazy. I tried everything. It happened again and I removed the battery, tipped tipm over and wiggled main wire. Worked like a champ. About every 3 months I do this. Trying to find a permanent solder or connect to fabricate.
Do u have any idea why I have the same problem
Don't tie those cables together on a diesel unless Both batteries are disconnected!!! Same in reverse don't forget to separate them both before connecting them to either battery. Or you're going to have major fireworks under your hood!
I have a chrysler 200 2015. It's a nightmare. This is the only thing I haven't tried. I hope this works!! I'll update it may be a few days. Putting this here for other chrysler 200 owners going search crazy
Hello. Would you have any idea what trouble codes may appear if your TIPM is indeed faulty?
I'm over 60 and paid 127.00 to the Chrysler dealer to replace the light bulb in the back tail light on my van. Went to AutoZone and they replaced all the lights free of charge.
2008 Chrysler Town and Country with 158k miles. On Christmas Day while 700 miles from home, our van wouldn't even attempt to turn over using key fob or ignition switch. Radio would turn on, lights would turn on, and key fob would even open sliding doors. However, the horn wouldn't work, door locks wouldn't work using either the key fob or internal buttons. Even though my battery was only 2 weeks old, I placed it on a trickle charger for a few hours just in case. No change. I disconnected and reconnected the battery and still couldn't start the van. I started researching my symptoms and came across this video. I disconnected the battery, shorted the cables together, and removed the TIPM. While the TIPM was removed, I re-validated each of the fuses and then let it sit for about an hour. Upon re-connecting the TIPM, I let it sit for another 30 minutes before plugging the battery back in. Once I did that, I noticed my door locks began working and my van fired right up! Although Christmas turned into frustration, I'm so happy to know I'm not showing up at a dealership in a desperate state to make it home. I may still replace the van soon, but at least I have time to make an informed decision. Thanks!!!

Total integrated Power Module. Its a fancy way to call the fuse box with all the specials connections that Dodge uses.
If you have two batterys do you need to disconnect both and zip tie both terminals together. Also can you explain why do you have to unplug all the plugs from the tipm seems like with all batteries disconnected it would not make a difference?
This works every time! Thank you MAC for the advice and replacing my bad ones when they finally die. Crysler should have done a recall on all TIPM's. I have two Crysler cars that are both garage kept and well cared for. We have on-going issues with these TIPM's. Never buy a Crysler with a TIPM unless you have a current warranty to deal with the continuous issues you'll have with them.

My 2015 giving me issues a lot codes
What was wrong with your ram ? I lost power to radio ,ac, windows
I got 2018 ram 1500. No headlights/ parking light issues in the front
Will this work on Dodge Ram 1999,2001 and 2002. Trucks 3500,3500 and the 02 is a 2500 Diesel if it matters
I bought my '08 Dodge Avenger on August 4th 2017 and it seemed fine up until September 5th, when I got an oil change at Jiffy Lube. They told me my rear turn signals weren't working, which came as a shock to me, since I always signal and would have noticed the dash blinking double-time prior to that oil change. I knew my trunk lid used to fill up with water, so I changed my bulbs, removed the plugs from the bottom of the trunk and sealed the 3rd trunk light fixture with silicone to prevent water from getting in during heavy rains. None of that worked. From there my troubles grew to no brake lights, trouble starting (I had to use a jumper pack 90% of the time and even then, it took 2-7 attempts) and even my car completely shutting off on me while I was driving. Last symptom was my passenger side window refusing to close and having to fight with the switch for about 5mins.
I got my car diagnosed at a Dodge dealership on 9/20 and they told me I needed a new PCM, TIPM, tune up, trans service, battery, cam position sensor, and valve cover gasket. I was completely unwilling to invest that much into this vehicle and they seemed adamant about getting me to just trade my car in and buy one from them OR pay $3300 (almost double what I paid for the car) and wait 2months for them to receive backordered replacement parts. Absolutely not. However, I did go ahead and buy a battery from Sears on 9/23. They said that it was grounding out and that there was an electrical issue in my vehicle that was causing the TWO brand new batteries they placed in it to test badly. They even upgraded it to a Diehard Gold for me for free because they were simply baffled by the issue. That new battery ended up reducing the frequency of my startup troubles, but all the other power issues remained
I spoke to Mak Cabessa and Jason Bell, the TIPM experts, on 9/28. They recommend I change the TIPM module, so I ordered a used one for $40 on eBay (with the $6, 6-month warranty) to install for myself. It arrived on Tuesday, but I waited until Friday after work to install it. I followed the steps on the verticalvisions website and IT FIXED EVERYTHING!!! It's like I just woke up from a nightmare and I couldn't be more proud and relieved. DO NOT LET DODGE FOOL YOU INTO BUYING A TIPM FROM THEM!!!
Kaliym Toppin no the nightmare is that you drive a Dodge Avenger
My girl has a 05 Sebring 2.7, she drove threw some water & now the battery light is on/ comes on & off. The battery was garbage when she 1st got it so I paid just under $200.& got her a new battery & it was fine for several years until she drove threw deep water! What can I do to remedy this situation?????
Remove the keys from her hand.

I appreciate that I'm having the same problem right now understood my actuators and now she won't start so I charge the battery and she still won't start need help
Hi Mak, instead of waiting for several hours with the battery disconnected to drain the energy from the vehicle. Why not disconnect the battery and turning the ignition once or twice? It will not start the vehicle or anything, but anything electrical in the system will use that energy. Thus draining it, resetting the fault codes and causing a hard reset to the TIPM. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I got a 2018 ram 1500. No headlights and parking light issues in the front.
Wiring harness looks good on both sides and connectors look good.
Replaced the headlight switch any wasn't the problem.
@TIPMRebuildersKevin I've done a few tipm. Those had wiper, door lock, fuel pump issues etc.
There's no fuse or relay for headlights in this thing? Never seen that. All the fuses are good.. none are designated to lighting at all.
Weird. Just don't want to pull the trigger on the tipm and that not correct it
F.Y.I...
These guys are legit!!
With this insight (and a few of their others videos) i replaced the tipm in my 2016 dodge ram... Solo...
I left a comment, they responded expeditiously.. Even insisted that i call in if i had any questions.
I gave them a call only to find that they are extremely helpful, professional and polite..
#Im very grateful... Thanks🙏
If im just resetting and using what i already have, do I need to disconnect all the looms? Or is it just simply connecting the 2 terminals?
Can you do the hard reset by disconnecting the battery, AND NOT unplugging the TIPM?
I’d assume since he went through the whole process of disconnecting them all that it’s required 🤔🧐🤷🏻♀️
How much you charge for a rebuilt tipm. ? 09 dodge avenger 2.7. Left side head lights not working. New bulbs. New engine. As well. And im hearing that the brske booster needs to be reset. Im thinking its all in the tipm
Hello Kevin,

Hope to hear from you soon!
A friend of mine is having typical TIPM symptoms on a 09 Grand Caravan. She took it to the dealership and they said she needed a new TIPM. Her problems (so far) have been with the wipers and lights, no drivability issues (again, so far.) I found a tipm from a junkyard that they say is good. Just so I'm clear on this, your saying it won't need any programming from the dealership? Just a "hard reset"?
UPDATE 2-5-18
Bought a junkyard TIPM for the '09 Grand caravan. Used this procedure he shows in the video. It worked just like he said. The dealership told us it wouldn't work and wanted $100 to program the used one.
The most programming one would need, SOMETIMES, is to put in the cars vin number. Ive never seen any other kind of programming needed
@@zenthiaWHAT? So they want 250 just to put a vin on it? Just typing some friggen VINS????
Hi Mak.I have a 2017 Ram 1500. It has a blinker issue on the Pass Front only. All other lights function as they should including signals. Could this be a quick repair solution? Asking before I attempt because I don't want to fry anything..
Thanks in advance.
Can you please explain why I would need to reset my TIPM? What symptoms arise that would require this? Im having issues with my Jeep and I'm just curious if this might help or not. Thank you!
ZEVO LED BULBS (maybe all LED bulbs) on my 2007 RAM 1500 slt WILL WORK, FLASH, AND EVERYTHING BUT THE CHIME FOR BRAKE AND HYPER FLASHING stays on anyway. Truck WON'T RECOGNIZE THE LED from regular. I read that a special scan can change it but I just went back to regulars and fixed this evil problem. Happy hunting. I did do this TiPM reset and cleaned it out, and put it back together, so this is a good video.
I installed some LED bulbs today and after 2 hours a failure appeared in the transmission and check engine light... those LEDs are really a problem.
Why would unplugging the tipm be necessary? The purpose of crossing the negative to positive is to discharge the capacitors ( the only components that remain energized after the vehicle is shut down)
i am a chrysler tech and we just disconnect the battery and touch the cables once for a few seconds and leave the battery disconnected for 20 min. thats it...
@@Law0509 hey after you hard reset what is the restart procedure after everything is hooked back up?
He says it in the video sometimes the pins don't set all the way.
I was wondering this myself. If you're not replacing the TIPM there is no reason to unplug it like this.
It worked for me! Put the battery cables together for 30 min., didn't work. Put together for 5 hours, it worked.
Glad to hear it worked for you! Feel free to contact us if anything comes up in the future!
after you attach positive and negative cable go inside and turn the ignition key to on position and leave it on for about 2 hours this will help drain all the capacitors
Capacitors drain instantly. 2 hrs is unnecessary.
@@420frankp depends on amount of capacitance and resistance (or load) in series with capacitor. There are other capacitors in the electronics that will take more time. Shorting the battery cables will not instantly drain every capacitor.
@@micropyro7470 however leaving them connected together to ensure every bit is drained newer style capacitors should instantly have the ability to discharge all stored energy and almost instantly be able to recharge once power is applied…no memory no wait that’s what makes capacitors ideal it’s not like sending water down a small pipe where it has a restriction of flow or in this case electrons it’s like a dam when open all out at once so while I agree it’s best to still leave things connected to make sure every last bit is gone typically they’re drained within seconds
2010 Grand Caravan ghost dash lights random starts no key and windows going up and down and no start when fob inserted. These are random issues that plague this minivan has 178k on it tipm replaced at 101k before I became owner at 122k. I don't know the previous owners issues. Is the suggestion to do a hard reset draining the system. And disconnect the tipm or just remove it and send it to you?
Did you ever figure it out? I'm having similar issues
@@dean4069 yes the fob tabs inside were no longer in there original seated positions. So they were probably based on temperature or some surrounding change that triggered them to activate the auto start or at least trigger it and somehow it triggered the computer to send signal to window actuators. Has to be a frequency related design flaw. I have yet to have my electric specialist track the electrical diagram so figure this completely. But I rebuilt the fob now the fob works and no love ghost issues. I ordered another fob for my mother she's 72 so getting her a fresh one. Now just have to get the oil pan gasket and rear wheel bearing done.

I was told by the dealer as well as several forum post that states the TIPM needs reprogrammed with the vehicle VIN?

Yes, this 2005 300 is my first and last Chrysler product. As an ASE Master tech, I have NEVER seen such a pile of shit. The tail light goes out, and it repositions global satellites. GEEZZE ! Get me a Ford, at least it will start, and chances are that it will not knock either...………………….
Agreed!! But its what I deal with to have a Jeep.....**sigh** No crank, no start happening right now.
Yep. 94 town and country here. Limp mode, and other electrical problems.
Facts
thanks much for the info to re check the plugs in the tipm that was the issue after I reset them it started right up
I would just add that you should probably cover your battery terminals with something (like a clean towel) to prevent the cables from touching the battery. Or take the battery out before you leave it over night.
Never heard of this or have i had any issues with any of my mopars
Thank you so much!! I did this last night and reconnected this morning. Brake lights now work and so does speedometer ☺
Great Jennifer! Hopefully it was just needed to clear a few odd errant codes and the problem is gone for good. If it comes back, there may be something not right with the TIPM, so let us know. If it does come back, and you need to clear it more quickly to get home (particularly the brake lights issue), you can try just doing it for 15 minutes or so to see if that is enough to clear it again (and at least temporarily) get your brake lights back to get home. Good luck!

Graand cheroke reset ?
Hello and thank you for your video. I own a 2017 Ram 1500. After I lock truck via the remote or the door lock button on door, after about 10 seconds the doors unlock, headlights stay on and hazards blink quickly twice and repeatedly every few minutes. Can this be a TIPM issue?
to do a hard reset all you have to do is disconnect the battery and touch the positive and negative together for a couple seconds not hours or over night....
Rick Stancil will that reset my theft deterrent light and chirp
Bwaha
Rick Stancil would I still need to disconnect my TIPM?
Rick Stancil will that help my headlight to stay on...? I brought a new bulb & it lasted 1 day then went back out but my daytime running lights & driver side headlight works fine... only my passenger side headlight is out...
What LeAnn James said. Also is there just a plug in fuse for like backup lights? Not one of my four work period.
I'm sorry if I overlooked it or not. But, aren't you supposed to leave the TIPM hooked up to drain it electronically.? So, you unhook the TIPM after you disconected the battery. Then plug it in?
I have a 2009 Jeep Patriot. First the passenger side parking lamp went out(not Bulb) then the check engine light came on with codes for O2 sensor, Intake Manifold control, and A.C clutch. All 4 problems had the same ground connection on the frame by the Alternator. I cut off ground lug, soldered all 6 or so wires together and used a large copper screw down connector to connect the ground wires to the frame of the Jeep. Problem solved.
Did you happen to receive a response? Or find a source that helped resolve the issue? I'm having a similar issue. thanks!
Daniel Goodm
Thank you. This was so helpful.
Is it really necessary to unplug it to get it to reset? Wouldn't just grounding the terminals do the trick alone. Trying to reset my current one before i purchase another one.
after a hard reset my radio doesn't work, power locks won't work, ac/heat won't work, and everything runs off the battery
Touching the positive and negative cables together to do what now? To do what exactly? Discharge capacitors... That's what your saying. Lemme think this over a second... nope it didn't take that long. I recommend not doing that. Just disconnect the battery and leave it set... turn on the headlamps and turn the ignition switch to the on position with the battery disconnected. A capacitor is the same as a positive- negative flow system, touching the cables together to "Discharge capacitors" is the same thought of touching 12 volt battery cables together with a charged battery hooked up on the other end... it can, or may, destroy the capacitors much like it might fry the 12 battery.. Turning the ignition switch on, with the battery removed from the system, and operating most of your electronics with the battery disconnected, drains the capacitors correctly without taking the chance to short out capacitors.... Before you put the battery back to hot, make sure everything you turned on... is turned off...then hook the battery back up... It wont take 2 hours to discharge capacitors doing it this way. It'll take less than 5 minuets. Just sayin'....
Wrong & long winded .... It is a Dodge Domestic & that is how it's done, I never used Zip ties but that's how we do it @ the Dodge Tune Up Dept.
and that's why you get $75-$150 per hour in labor...@@StationRussification
Hello Mack. Thanks guy for your video and I followed your steps and you saved me hundreds of dollars. Thanks, I appreciate you
This was a great video. I appreciate what you guys are doing to help out the guy who can't afford to play games with the dealers or pay exorbitant prices for parts. Your my heros.
Does anybody ever send this guy any money? I'm guessing he's not living the high life. Too nice a guy. He gives all his time away and I bet no one even sends him 10% of what they saved. Just a thought after reading 5 or 6 of these comments. Don't mean to pick on anyone or be rude. peace
Will this help with -warning of key in ignition?? Dodge Caliber.
Nice videos you have good communication skills.
I just wondering if this will work to reset the TCM for relearning???
Odd. I had a blue screen on my TV and the cable company told me the same thing. " Go out and find your TIPM... ".
Hey I disconnected the negative terminal and connected to the postive .. spark happened and cable got hot .. I think the auxiliary battery might of caused this
Thank you sir you have a new subscriber
I have a problem with my 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan. The passenger-side heater is stuck on high, even when it's turned off. I read somewhere that disconnecting one of the battery terminals and touching the cable to the other terminal would reset the HVAC system and cure this problem. What do you think?
Good video, it is very explanatory and easy to solve, grateful, Regards
this worked for me. thank you Mac...
That is perfect! Thank you so much for letting us know =) Take care, Amal
Thankful some adults are able to follow directions ❤️😳
when you do this, you can turn on your truck's headlights to help drain the battery down faster. Be sure to turn those headlights back off after you have allowed the battery to drain and are then ready to install the unit and hook the battery up once again.
um duh you shouldn't talk ....Ever don't need to drain the battery
Do i need a new tipm or can the old one still work after the hard reset
All you had to do was remove the battery Cables and touch them together for a few seconds OR Remove the Module for 10-15 Min.
Does that work for a reset
Or just simply remove fuse 31 ha

Hey buddy I did that over night. And now my van doesn’t start at all no power to anything wat u think will be my next option
Mark THANK YOU for helping us out here. 2002 PT cruiser had this issue and your suggestion repaired it and we're set. Thanks again Jay
I replaced tipm I have 2010 challenger still doesn't start plastic clips were broke that are on connectors but are plugged in good please help don't have $ to take to dealer I'm stuck
Hi Mike,
We would be happy to help! Please feel free to call us at 818-798-5558 and we will do our best to help you out!
Thank you for your informative video 👍 My company work truck starting having issues recently. It wanting to start. It takes over 12 times to get it started. The shop replaced the fuel pump and still having the same issue. Now they’re replacing the TIPM. If I t was my personal truck, I’ll would definitely have you guys repair the TIPM as reference this video...
TIPM failures in powering the cooling fan are actually quite common on the Wranglers. At this stage I'd say its worth swapping the TIPM.
That's currently what I'm dealing with in my 2012 wrangler. Fan comes on whenever it wants too
@@dpost82 did you fix it
I will look into doing this with my 2018.
Shorting the battery cables should cause any charged caps to discharge completely in minutes. Not hours and certainly overnight. IF you disconnect the FUSE box, you're essentially accomplishing the same END, however, disconnecting it will cause you to have to wait longer but certainly NOT SEVERAL HOURS as the charged caps SLOWLY lose their residual charge! There is IN FACT NO NEED to do both. And most certainly you only need to short the battery terminals for a few seconds to maybe a minute or so. Really, you only need to disconnect the NEGATIVE Battery terminal for a few minutes and that should be long enough to any charged capacitors to discharge completely.
Peace
If you've rebuilt them, then you should know where the capacitors are and discharge them and it will be reset and function normally. What you are doing is resetting the TIPM the hard way in my opinion. Shorting the battery terminals isn't enough by itself because of a bit of impedance caused by minor to major corrosion, wire length, common +/- connections a the Starter motor. The charged capacitors need to be completely shorted out and or allowed to die over time. I would think that if you leave the battery terminals shorted for a few hours - in the case of resistance - that should do the trick. You could figure out which wires that plug into the TIPM are the power wires for each section, and short them to kill the caps. The only place residual charge will remain is in the caps, or anywhere there is capacitance in any of the lines.
It is convenient and simplified to have the TIPM under the hood but it's best to have inside the vehicle where it's completely out of the harsh environment being exposed to the elements including constant oxidation!
In any case, your solution obviously works, I personally wouldn't go that route but, your method does work!
Good work and Godspeed young man!
Guess Who my car is stuck on neutral
I heard itz best to jb weld the terminals together for. A week and a day . and then for an hour drive around only making left turns and it resets the computer😀👍
+Cano Mendez LMAO I heard that too
@@ddggttyy Was this on April 1st?
Do you have to disconnect the tipm ? Or can you just disconnect the battery terminals and connect the positive and ground together the achieve same result if you left it over night? Ty
Wow 🤦🏻♂️ 30 mins at best! 😂🤣😂🤣🤦🏻♂️ Just turn the key on and head lights! 🤣😂🤣 Have a good day...
Hey buddy awesome video. Let me ask a ? My 2001 and 2003 jeep Cherokee laredo's V6 have both stopped running . Both are maintenance regular and driven everyday. They will both turn over but not crank . Any ideas why ? Thanks
this didn't work for me 07 dodge caliber
Mak Cabessa no problem im just gonna have to get a new tipm
No TIPM for 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan at that website, but thanks for the suggestion just the same
I'm calling you Monday
Just ran into your video. I know it was made years ago. So my issue is my ac compressor quit working. After some troubleshooting with a probe I have found the plug from the harness has no power. Took it to a mechanic that looked over it and says it needs a new TIPM. I found one for $100 bucks at a junkyard. Question is should I try this before buying the other one? Is it a possibility it will fix it? I mean I guess it won’t hurt to try.
fixed mine with a stroke of the pen and bought a new car
haha that works too!
Hey, can I borrow that pen? They won't let any of the pens I have sign for new cars... :p
Can you please tell me what that circular thing is next to that commander’s tipm? Cause mine got disconnected somehow
I would rather pay the dealer 105 to reset mine 😂😂😂 I have to go through jacking the car up taking the tire off to get to my battery.... classic Chrysler my first and last one 😞 dodge is a POS.... whoever designed them cars was a jack azz
I don't suggest buying any front wheel drive GM vwhicles from 2002-2014, all their batteries are in the trunk under the floor boards, and if you have stuff in the trunk, may the powers that be bless your upper body strength and patience. Because if you have battery or electrical issues, it's a royal pain in the azz to move and remove things just to get to the battery or spare tire.
@@VencedorGamer not all
Was wondering wouldd it work on my jeep Patriot 2008 the anti theft system red circle flashin
Whatever the fk you do...wait at least 2 hrs LMAO
How many times Can we.say TIPUM.
not only was it that easy the reset totally worked on my 2011 JK - Cooling Fan codes gone and no more check engine light every time the fan comes on. Thanks!
Is that all you did was the reset? Didn't get a replacement tipm ?
@@dpost82 It was at the time, but about 3-4 weeks later it came back and after a few other replacement items (fan. switch, coolant relay) I ended up replacing the TIPM and then reset again :(
@Hooligan Syndicate dang, my 2012 is having that issue, and I'd like to try everything else before I drop a chunk on a new tipm.
What the hell is a TIPM.
Total Integrated Power Module
Is this the same as the PCM or Powertrain Control Module ???
the box that holds all the fuses and relays
William Pearce no
I put a transmission in my 07 dodge charger out of a 06 chrysler 300 i drove it shifted fine now its saying incorrect gear ratio..ive tried alotta crazy things ..this tipm is that the box that holds all the fushes..i may try disconnecting it just to see what happens for awhile..
