Problems Starting a 1995 Dodge Ram 50

The Dodge Ram is a pick-up truck that started manufacturing in 1981. If you are having problems getting your Dodge Ram to start, there are several things that you can do before you take it to a repair shop. Common issues include fuel, dead batteries, or a bad alternator. You can diagnose the problem yourself without much hassle. You dont have to be a mechanic to accomplish this task. You can do it yourself.

Instructions

1

Insert the key in the ignition and turn it over. If you hear a "clicking" noise, you may have a bad alternator. Have the truck towed to a service shop to get the alternator replaced.

2

Check the gauge on the dashboard for any indications of low fuel or a dead battery. If the dashboard does not light up at all, you need to check your battery.

3

Open the hood to your Dodge ram and use a friends car to jumpstart the engine. Connect the red and black wires from your jumper cables to the red and black terminals on your Ram.

4

Connect the other end of the wires to the red and black terminals on your friends battery. Start your friends car and then start your Ram. Allow the Ram to sit for about 10 minutes while running. This will charge the battery.

5

Add 1 gallon of fuel to your Dodge Ram if the truck will not jumpstart. Try to start the car again.
