Brought it to a RAM dealership where they found 6 active and 51 stored DTCs all tied to the communication to the powertrain and safety modules (4wd, power steering, airbags, ABS). The dealer did not have time to fix it, so another dealership said they would fix it if I drove it to them. That second dealer found 3 pulled out wires in the right front fender liner, plug those 3 wires in and works like new. My safety was put at risk due to
