PSA: Go, right now, and seat all fuses and relays

[SorbSRT]

Just a PSA #1: Everyone, lift the hood, remove the fuse box cover, and seat all your fuses and relays. Don’t know why, but whomever is responsible for Jeep and Ram PDU assembly, they can’t seem to install the fuses and relays correctly.

PSA #2: Under your steering wheel is an access panel. Behind that access panel is the under dash fusebox. Those fuses are more than likely not completely seated either. Just need a 7mm socket to remove the access cover and avoid potential electrical issues.

Do yourself a favor and take a few minutes to prevent potential future electrical problems.

I just ran out and checked....every. Single. One. Loose. Thanks for the heads up!

Putting on my shoes now to go out and check them.

Wow, half required complete seating. 3 of the big ones were leaning towards the back,,,launch mode did that?!

Thanks

My 5th Gen Ram 1500 came with a couple fuses missing from the factory - found out when I went to get lights on trailer and nothing! Expected to fund burnt fuse, but instead found no fuse. So guess they still haven't perfected that!

Just checked... about 3/4 of them were loose. Thanks for the heads up, yet another reason this forum rocks.

Well Kiss A Fat Mans Ass..... The quality control or lack of it on display again. Glad folks post this kind of stuff! It is not pretty the reputation the TRX is getting with respect to build quality and it will believe me impact resale down the road. Do not know if a machine populates this box or it is a human but almost all of my fuses were not seated and all of the relays not one was seated all the way, one so far out it was canted a little toward the cab!

What a mess. Now I want to check every single thing with a TQ wrench.

THIS SHOULD BE A STICKY!

FYI.
There is two PDCs.
The second one is behind the dash panel inside the cab on drivers side. Each one has specific roles.

I hope the same monkeys did not assemble that one as well!!

I just picked up my TRX a few days ago. All the fuses were seated. But thanks. I do have a few codes though on the display that I need to find out why. They came on with 30 miles on odo.

Just checked mine and at least half weren’t seated well too. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[Kwykstyk]

About half of mine as well.

 

[TedRex]

I vote to make this a sticky as well.

I will check the dash one next.

I bet when the poor person who looks at the site from "Ram Cares" is going to have an out of body experience over this one. Wonder if ALL of the trucks built so far have this defect.

A fair number required seating on the dash panel. Please check them too! Trying to load video. No luck. Try later.

Not a single loose fuse or relay on a 3-8 (build date) one.
Of course, there is a chance that the dealer checked them.

 

[TedRex]

Pictures instead.

Can this be added to the check this before taking delivery chest list?
