My truck is an extended cab 1500.

My truck intermittently loses power to gauges, all but the voltmeter.

It also switches off stability, traction control, and ABS light flashes.

The door locks click down as if the truck thinks switching form park, while driving.

While doing this the truck is also hard shifting.
It has a a engine code: U0073.

I Have changed the negative lead wire, even added a third ground, new battery, and new mega fuse, still no luck. Any ideas what causing it?

Hello,

This sounds like you have a BCM that is going out which ties into everything you have mentioned. Here is the location you will need to have a shop program it for you. Truck happen to go under water?

Check out the diagrams (below).

Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Cheers, Ken
