Error code p0463: fuel level sensor circuit high input, this means my fuel gauge is experiencing failures and i can not accurately determine how much fuel is in the vehicle. Doing a quick google search, this appears to be a very common issue with the 2014 ram 1500 5.7l. I'm at roughly 68500 mile on my truck so the issue is also out of warranty.

While driving the 2014 ram 1500 the vehicle has lost power numerous times. This is an intermittent issue and i have not been able to duplicate on the spot.

These occurrences have happened while normal driving conditions; rolling up windows,…

Fuel pump sensor failed. Replaced the part, bought from the dealership. Installed and worked for two days before the sensor again failed. When the fuel tank is filled the gauge does not sense any fuel in the car. Also the car's computer system fails to tell you which part is in failure- the brake light indicator went on for the passenger side brake light, it was actually the brake light on the cab that was out.

The vehicle's instrument cluster flickers from bright to extremely dark. The dodge dealership traced the issue back to the icp module. As this module continues to flicker it draws the attention of the operator away from the road. The module also indicates engine issues, this could lead to a loss of control resulting in a crash.

Made two more trips for the same thing until they said ants had gotten into it and chewed on the wiring installation. The harness was replaced but no evidence of it being replaced (original factory torque markings still visible). Less than a year later the electrical is still…
