Had to replace the TIPM in my 2006 Dodge Ram

Went to use the A/C about a month ago and it was not getting cold at all. The compressor clutch was not engaging. Checked the obvious, ie., broken or loose wires/connectors. Had power at the switch inside the cab. Direct powered the clutch/compressor and system runs fine. Researching on the web led me to believe it could be a circuit fault in the TIPM. Had the system fully scanned and it showed the request for power to the clutch/compressor, no power out of the TIPM circuit.

Bought a Dorman Products Re-manufactured TIPM through Summit Racing. Came preflashed with most current version and my VIN# that I provided. Plug and play. I now have A/C and the new feature where the radio will stay on until you open the door or remove the key.

    I also recently replaced the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) in my 06 Mega. I had been having intermittent gremlins in the electrical system for a while and my mechanic determined that the issue was with the TIPM. The TIPM was purchased at a dealership and (in my opinion) pricey. OEM was around $1500 but the remanufactured one from the same dealership was $750. I purchased the remanufactured one and all is well. I was not lucky enough to get additional functions.

    What does Dorman get for a TIPM?


    Dorman does not sell direct to a DYI. I purchased through Summit Racing. $500 upfront with core charge, tax and shipping. Get $100 back when they receive the core back.
