Quick question and honest opinion. My Dads '01 V6 ram is acting up BAD! He thinks its the battery. The gauge cluster has the transmission symbol lit up. The car will turn on and turn off right after, and the only way it stays on is if you give it ALOT of gas and keep it above 1k rpm. When you turn it on the car idles at around 600 and goes right off. This is very weird. Also their is considerable noise and it doesnt sound right at all. Please help.

when i searched on yahoo all i found was "ATS DIAGNOSE YOUR OWN AUTO SOFTWARE!"... Not happening.

 

should probably post this in general car or a tech forum...

 

any codes?

 

you should get a code, was the truck towing anything? the tranny light will come on if the computer senses the tranny overheating, if that's not the case than its most likely a converter lock-up issue.

 

Thanks for the replies. All we had to do was take out the battery and put it back in. Reset something.... i hate electronic controlled cars lol. Well after we took it out it was fine. Thanks for all your responses.
