I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 5.9 motor and it’s in theft mode. The red light under the gas gauge is a solid red. It will not crank it’ll turn over have no dash cluster gauges or fire to the fuel pump or the coils. How do I correct it? I’ve tried everything. Google and other people have said to try. I have no wiring going to my key switch in the doors. I’m lost. What do I do?
