- Visit verticalvisions.com to build your own, order from us, or obtain additional details. We do not sell these on Amazon. If your 2007-2021 Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, or VW vehicle fails to start due to a bad fuel pump relay on the TIPM (fuse box), or your fuel pump continues pumping after turning the vehicle off (draining your battery), this tutorial along with our free website instructions may provide a solution. You'll be able to build your own cable to test your fuel pump, fuel pump relay, and bypass a defective fuel pump relay. We also build these cables and other patented longer term solutions for those who can't.

As many have discovered, the failure of a simple $5 fuel pump relay has affected many vehicles and recalls have been issued. Additional TIPM repair options are available on our website. For further information, please visit our website: www.verticalvisions.com. Please make sure you understand the capabilities, advantages, and limitations of these cables. Note that we now use a new M37 to M25 connection method for most TIPMs.

Today I received my TIPM plug-in relay system (lite) It was so easy to install took all of 3 minutes...I have a 2012 Town and Country that would not start any more. After watching your channel and
going to your website to order this part it was seamless. Thank you very much for all of the research you put into this. My van now runs like it did when it was new, and you have saved me thousands.
Our TIPM Plug-In Relay System (Lite) is essentially the next generation TIPM cable with easier installation, fit, and functionality. It has three onboard LEDs to indicate power flowing to the pump, the run/start signal (the alternate power source), and the status of the original faulty relay for testing purposes. This part is patented and built from the ground up as a permanent solution. TIPM cables have always been temporary solutions since they have issues in high temperature environments due to manufacturing constraints. Thanks for the feedback Ross.
@@VerticalVisions I commented on this video twice I need help may you might know how to bypass a 40 degree angle tipm
I want to order one
Amen!
@@VerticalVisions I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab and it's doing exactly what you're talking about but the TIPM is slanted and has a different fuse box.. just trying to determine which fuse location to attach to?
7yrs later this video is still invaluable! I have (had) the "fuel pump is always running" problem. Removed the lower fuse... problem solved. Hell, I may never replace the TIPM, now! Thank you!
I've had this bypass wire in my tipm for over 2 years, I did have to replace it after a year, and I'm gonna replace it again.. one of the fuses on the bypass kit melted..have no idea why, but it hasn't done it again, would advise y'all just to check it every now and then
Jason , I have had all the problems that go with the Tipm, because you have been a kind soul and spent the time to help other people with the expence not many of us can afford, I ordered both the external electronic bye-pass and the cables as a back up. Thank my friend, the world needs more people like you and your wife. God bless you and may you live long and prosper, and may God bless you with good health to you and your family, Robin from Saskatchewan Canada
Thanks for your comments. We're still one of the few small businesses that tell people how to build the same parts we sell. Not a traditional business model by any means.
@@VerticalVisions 2012 GRAND CHEROKEE ,,Im not gonna lie ,i am building this exact bypass only because i need it ASAP ,i will however order one from you to support and to keep as a backup ,thank you for all you have done ,GENIUS
OMG THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!! We have been replacing part after part and this fixed it! Even the dealer misdiagnosed it! I am SOOOOOOO grateful! Our van has been broken down for at least 2 months now and I am so excited and grateful it is fixed. May God bless you and your family!! Just know you are blessing many people with just this one video!
He did blessed people with this
My '13 Town&Country killed the battery 3x in a week, followed by hard starting (cranks over, no start unless switching key back and forth 4x) I got it running with starting fluid, at this point I suspected fuel system issue. Not many private mechanics good with electrical in my area, so I took to Chrysler Dealership on a Friday. They quoted me $125 to diagnose, had for 5 hrs, and could not replicate the issue, asked me to bring in Monday, so they could have more time to look at. I found this video and ordered with 2-Day shipping, came on Sunday. 10 minutes later, I'm on the road! THANKS JASON FOR A GREAT PRODUCT THAT SIMPLY WORKS!!!!
Thanks Mike.
Thank you Mr.Bell! Thanks to you I have officially diagnosed and fixed my 2011 Chrysler town and country fuel pump relay issue. I had starting issues and thank goodness I found your video. I did not realize my fuel pump was running after I walked away from the van until after I saw this. You saved me a bunch of money and headache. I just got this van on a rebuilt title and was super afraid of the possible issues it might have. Tour a life saver and I will be telling everyone I know of your amazing engineering skill. Thank you so much.
I cannot THANK U ENOUGH!! My wife was stranded yesterday, thankfully it happened in her moms driveway. Your video was one of the first that popped up. After watching and reading all the rave reviews I obtained the parts to fabricate one in a crunch, ALL GOOD. U are a GEM
Just installed your product and my truck starts like new...thanks for offering this awesome product at such an affordable price! You sir are a saint!
Appreciate the info! Im a vertical engineer, and small engine / Automotive repair hobbyist. Your video here took any stress and aggravation that can come with diagnosing and roundhouse kicked in the mouth! Mechanics had my buddies truck over two months! Literally took me less than 30 minutes with driving out to the auto parts store! Thanks again, keep up the good work!
Thanks Jason! I live in BC Canada and ordered your bypass cable last week for my 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan. A couple of weeks ago the van began having troubles starting and eventually didn't start at all (just cranking continuously). I brought it to the repair shop and they said it might have something to do with the fuel pump relay but they didn't want to experiment on the problem.... a quick Google search and I came across your video & website. To be honest, I went off of my 'vibe' about you more than anything and ordered your cable. It arrived yesterday and I popped it in my van and.... voila! Van started up right away! Just in time too as my kid was about to miss his school halloween party because of it :) This is a great service you're offering and I wanted to extend my thanks. (for those of you needing this fixed quickly you'll be happy to know that Jason ships the product out very fast, complete with tracking number). Thanks again my friend!
Here in Alberta with the same van looking to avoid paying $1400 TIPM + labour. Just order the Relay System (ByPass) Lite
We bought this fix for our 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan because it was having issues with cranking and not turning over to start. Super easy to install, very clear instructions, and my car has not had one single issue starting in the six weeks its been on there! Thank you for coming up with a costly solution for a problem that it looks like a lot of us are having!!
I just purchased this used vehicle and had same issue.
We were at a lost until stumbling onto your video. I called to purchase this cable and I would like to add Jason walked me thru, step by step to verify external relays. He saved me money from buying the cable essentially taking business away from him and advised another cheaper route. Folks this is pure honesty and pure good intentions from Jason. Thank you for helping others.
Jorge A where you get the cable from ?
Forgot to take out the bottom fuse.
I, just like many others on this thread, was experiencing trouble starting my 2011 Dodge Ram 1500. It slowly started taking longer and longer to start. Sometimes upwards of 15 minutes. I took it to the dealership to get diagnosed and was told I needed to replace my TIPM, which would cost $1400. Upon googling the problem, (and by the grace of God) I came across your website. After reading countless rave reviews, I decided to give your cable a try. I can't thank you enough Mr. Bell. I received my cable today in the mail. It took less than a minute to install and my truck started on the first try. Even my remote start works. You are the MAN! Keep up the great work!
Can I ask what you connected it to?
Just wanted to say thanks for saving my 2011 Ram 1500 from a very large mechanic bill! Started having issues about a month ago, truck was hard to start, then would only start with my remote on my key, then wouldn't start at all... Had the truck towed to my mechanic where they tested the battery, starter, alternator, fuel pump, and found nothing wrong. While they were testing, I was researching and found your site. I ordered the standard cable and installed in the lot at the mechanic, it fired up instantly! I then moved the cable to the M37 to M25 with zero issues to this point. I will be ordering your more permanent fix after the holidays, thanks again!!!!
I started having this problem on my 2011 Grand Caravan. During my research I came across this video and ordered the cable. I got it and installed it today and so far everything seems to be working great now!
I ordered this and received it last week 2012 dodge caravan. After 4 starters and a new battery I am starting my car with no issues. Thank you so much
I ordered two cables! One with test led and one without. YOU JUST SAVED US tons of money in diagnostics and possibly thousands in repairs thx to your bypass solution. 5 years into a 8 year car loan and my van was dead. Did some research,found this solution and IT WORKED!!!!!
Thank you so much!!!!!
Jason Bell , Thank You your product got me back on the road !! I have a 2011 Dodge Ram with 55,000 thousand miles that the tipm went bad in !! Once again many thanks !! This is showing under my daughters name but I am Ray Driver !!
I want to give a big Thank You to Jason Bell! Our 2011 Chrysler T&C was having all the classic TIPM symptoms and we were/are in no position to pay for a costly fix. I bought the recommended parts you clearly identified for $10, put it together, and now the car is running. Hasn't run consistently in a week, but today I was all over town. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and helping others. It is greatly appreciated! Rich Gabris, Chesapeake VA

You are a lifesaver! I was having trouble starting my car, it was struggling to start. Found your video and got a bypass cable and now it works!
Mr. Jason, Thank you so much. I live about 11 miles out of town, so getting parts delivered is next to impossible. After watching this video I made my own set of jumpers. Not fancy or fused but it got me into town so I could buy a a ready made set. This video saved me a little over $300. Everyone wanted me to have the van towed to their shop and I might get it back maybe by next Thursday. Fuel pump $329.99 + tax. Tow $120.00 not sure what Urber would be to go the 12 miles. Thanks Again. 2 BIG THUMBS UP!!!!!!
Thank you, excellent video. I just ordered one of your cables. I would rather spend $35.oo and be prepared than to be stuck somewhere not having a clue. My neighbor also has a Ram truck and I will tell him about this solution you came up with. JOB WELL DONE.
Kinda sad how many people have watched this video. This tells you these tipm are crappy!!
Peach Kyle.
Great video. I had the same problem on my 2011 T&C van. I took it to the dealer and TIPM was replaced with a new one. Extended warranty covered the the repair at 100%.
ordered this 2 days ago. got it today took less than 5 min to put on. and my van started right up. saved me a whole lot of $$$. thank you.
Jason you are brilliant. Thanks for taking the time to share. I came across this video on an unrelated search. Great information for diagnosticians.
Thank you for saving me thousands. I just got my bypass & you saved me. Thank you thank you. I'll recommend to anyone I know.
I have a 2011 Chrysler Town & Country. A couple of weeks ago, it would continue cranking but not turnover. I figured it was probably time for a battery replacement since the vehicle had the original battery. After spending $200 on the battery, the issue still persisted. That's when I started to research the issue and ran across this video. I ordered the bypass cable, installed it, and the car starts. Can't thank you enough, Jason, for sharing this fix! You saved $1000 for sure.
I have a 2012 Grand Caravan that cuts off intermittently while driving. It started a year ago and has happened perhaps a dozen times since. Jason spent 15 minutes talking with me about my specific set of symptoms. Great help. I did buy the cables and installed this evening. If the jumper/bypass cable doesn't solve the problem, I have ruled out the fuel pump relay without throwing $$$ at the dealer. Totally worth it. Thank you Jason!
I have a 2011 Ram 1500 and it started having issues starting at about 78000 miles on it. Well at 79000 it started taking 20 minutes to finally start. Then it eventually just did not start. Used my expensive research tool (google) and found this RUclips page. I bought this relay bypass solution couple of days ago and installed it today. Took a couple of minutes to install. It worked!! The truck started right up after the first turn of the key. Oh man what a blessing this was to have my truck back. Do not hesitate to purchase if you 2011 Ram 1500 truck keeps turning over and then finally starts and various times. I should have bought when the issue first started. Thanks so much Jason keep up the good work.
Roger Hinojosa Was this a permanent fix for you? I also have a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500, that is having the same problem. Thanks.
Yes it is still good.
Roger Hinojosa i
Roger Hinojosa it's been a year are you still running the truck like this?

This worked like a charm! I used the 'deluxe' cable with LED test light and diagnosed a bad fuel relay on a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan. Thank you!
Great Video.... ordered a cable and then called and spoke with Jason....Real stand up guy...VERY knowledgeable. I should have my cable by the end of the week....
Keep up the good work Jason!
My 2012 dodge has been having these issues, and just a few days ago the relay flipped and drained the entire battery. fortunately i had ordered this bypass cable. My Van is cranking without fail now. I thank Vertical Visions for making this, it has literally saved my lively hood and allowed me to keep a mechanically sound vehicle on the road, instead of parked under a tree due to gross quality control issue by Dodge and Chrysler Motors.
Bought this part and it saved me when we were stuck out of state during hurricane Irma
Jason, Thank you so much for the email and for walking us thru the options. After purchasing your bypass wire we diagnosed the problem to a faulty TIPM. Will be purchasing a plug bypass system soon. Thank you for helping people avoid costly unnecessary repairs. I have gone on various forums and blogs I subscribe to posting your website info to help others! Thanks
Thank you. My daughters car has been acting up and we were stuck until I just happened across your website. The symptoms she was having were exactly as you described with the fuel pump relay problem. It was late on a Sunday and the car had become very unreliable. She is a recently divorced mother on a budget that doesn't include $1000 for this repair. She needs her car to be reliable, and we had to have it fixed by Monday morning, so we didn't have the option of ordering the test/bypass cables. Your explanation of the problem and how the bypass cables work was enough that I was able to go to the local auto parts store and purchase a couple of the add a circuit cables and some fuses to make a crude version of the bypass cables. They only had the 10 amp version of the add a circuit cable, so I took them apart and soldered 10 guage wire to them instead and used 20 amp fuses. My soldering skills are not great, so my daughter will be purchasing a set of the bypass cables to safeguard against a poor soldering job, but my version was good enough to get us through until she can get a chance to order the "real" cables from your site. Ultimately, I am encouraging her to buy the plug-in relay system that you offer because it will be a better long term solution. I can't thank you enough for putting this information out there for people to use. This really saved us a lot of time, money and hassle.
This works !!! My 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan would not start. My mechanic suggested replacing the entire fuse box. I saw this video 2 years ago, ordered the simple TIPM, installed it and the car started . I AM NOT GOOD WITH FIXING THINGS, but the instructions were easy for me to follow. Fast Forward 2 years - when the weather turned cold I had the same issue. I emailed Jason Bell, he had a way to fix it, again simple to do, cost me Zero this time. This engineer works wonders. Thank you for creating this fantastic product and your excellent customer service. Terry Brock, Murfreesboro, TN
Worked great on my 2011 town and country. Has started every time now since installing it. Thank you so much!!
Amazing!!! Thank you very much for this video. After looking and looking, I finally found your video. Very professional explanation of the issue and solution of the problem. Very grateful for having people like Jason Bell. Thank you again!!!
Hey I really appreciate this information. After learning this, I've got my wife's van running smoothly once again. After didn't have to pay a mechanic!!! Thanks a million.

TIPM BYPASS MODULE....#TIPM2020
Jason I would like to thank you... This is my first comment ever on you tube. This video helped my out "Big Time" today. My son is away at college with his 2011 Ram 1500 and called yesterday and told me his truck was not starting. Crank no start. I did the RUclips search and found this video. The detailed information between video and drawings was able to walk my son and his friend who knew his way around cars enough to diagnose and temp jump the bad relay. With the help of a gentleman at Autozone they where able to make a jumper and bypass the bad relay to get him home for the holiday safely. Although the store did not have the add a circuit for the 20 amp like you make they where able to use a 20amp fuse holder and some type of fuse insert that the m7 and m25 fuse cradles in and allows for a spade connection to complete the jump. Dude you saved me $100's. I will follow up with a external relay kit from Mopar as a more perm fix. Thanks again for taking the time to put this information out there.
Thank you so much for the video!! Saved my dad from getting a rental and a very costly repair to the truck. I checked with a meter, and just ran a jumper from M7 (battery) to M25 (fuel pump) using a piece of 14 gauge wire
That's what I used to do before I got one of these 😉
Terrific product - allowed me to diagnose a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 faulty fuel relay that was causing an intermittent hard or no cold start. Both a local repair shop and dealer were unable to find and correct this problem!
There's two ways of repairing them. Get a whole new tipm module or take it apart and solder in a new relay
Thank you for the video. Just like so many others my wife's 2013 Grand Caravan had power and would crank but not start. I promptly typed in the symptoms to an internet search engine and this video popped up. I bought the cable, installed it a few days later, and it started right up. Best $25 car repair part I've spent. Thank you for the video.
This cable actually works to help to keep the fuel pump relay. I put it in place based on the directions and our vehicle (2011 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew) started right up each time I turned the key on! Highly recommend this!
I can’t thank y’all enough! Saved me hundreds of dollars! So glad I found this video. Got the standard cable and it worked perfectly. When I do eventually get a new tipm, I’m def going through y’all. Life savers!
Worked Great on 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan! Thanks for this awesome fix! You guys are genius!
We own a 2012 VW Routan that was an experiening this same issue. (noticed I said was...) I bought this bypass and followed the instructions and it worked flawlessly. I'm not a car guy, but this fix was straight forward and easy. Thank you Jason!
I purchased 2 of these from Jason and they work perfect haven't had any problems since. I purchased 2 because I wanted one for a back up just in case. I haven't needed to use the other one yet. Thanks Jason you saved my life they were going to charge me to change the fuel pump $600, then they would have charged me $900 to change the whole fuse assembly. Saved my life for 20 bucks.
Just ordered this to keep in glove box for my wife's 2014 Town and Country, as a precaution, since this is such a common failure and she travels a lot. I ordered it on a Saturday late morning, around 11AM, expecting it would not ship until Monday, and see it maybe Wednesday. Very surprised when it was in my hand Monday! I am an owner of an auto repair shop, so I am used to diagnosing problems, and using expensive tools/equipment, and this is as simple as it gets, and appears well made. I could have made it myself, but for the little cost, convenience, and knowing that if my wife is stranded, she will have clear instructions, AND a phone number to reach an actual person familiar with THIS REPAIR, to help. That means a lot Thank you.
Thanks James - your review is much appreciated.
Does this work for the head lights I have 2007 caliber and the head lights will not come on?
probably a different relay. check your owners manual for the headlight relay.

Thank you Jason, I just ordered your bypass wire you came up with. Like everyone else has said in some way this is a life saver. It is very frustrating when a part is $1200 and the car is a 2011. My daughter's 2011 Jeep Liberty the other day when she was driving on a 55 mph road just stopped running, luckily my wife was with her and was able to talk her through getting to shoulder of road without power steering which my daughter has never experienced before. My wife though she had forgot to get gas or something but she had a quarter tank. They sat there for a few minutes and then it started back up and they came on home. Shame on Jeep for knowing about this problem with a 5 dollar relay that could potentially cause bad wrecks and praise for Jason Bell for having the electrical knowledge and where with all to find a simple affordable solution.
It's only $ 175 dealers are crooks .. my friend that works at dodge put one under her name for me for my truck cost her only 175 but for me its 1200 wtf
You've got to be kidding me! $700 later (fixing legit issues so I'm not mad) and your part is what got my 2011 T&C running. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I wanted to give a shout out to Jason. I bought his bypass product around june 2016. This has been a life saver. We have a 2012 dodge caravan, and the dealer wanted $1200 to fix fuel pump relay. An honestly, back then money was tight. I found jason while searching for a solution. We havent had any issues with this fix for almost 2 years now. Ive been meaning to say thanks, but just got busy. Great product! I highly recommend. It also came with step by step instructions. Thanks again Jason. Well done.
Thanks Mike. Great feedback. Let us know if you have any questions down the road.
You are a life saver sir! Just put my order in, cant thank you enough!
Was having the fuel relay issue described above. I have a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T. Engine turning over but not starting. I ordered the "standard" cable (with the LED light); all the steps are included in crystal clear language; including verifying the fuel pump was working fine (not stuck in the on position by the way). I hooked up the cables as instructed and the car started on the first try !!!!! Unbelievable a $35 fix saved a potential $2,000 dealer bill (new TIPM / fuel pump / etc....)Thank you Jason. I highly recommend buying this cable even if your Dodge is not experiencing this issue; because most likely it will. Very cheap insurance policy and eventual fix.
I just fixed my 2013 caravan with a bypass cable. Faulty relay just like the video described. Works!!!
I did the bypass a few months ago, but sometimes it won't start and my wife will have to wait 15 minutes before it starts. Plus I have the Routan they say go to Volkswagen when I went there they said No its Chrysler problem. Help please
@@madebydade305ify Even to me after 20 minutes it comes back on. The problem of my journey is that it goes off in gear ... while the car is moving, the machine goes off by itself.
@@dwtshopenjoy660 your are right. It did that to me the other day twice. I park it and now drive my old truck with mom problems. What is the solution to this stupid design. My bypass did not fix the issue.
Hi Brain...did u leave this standard cable on the car or u do it as a try only?i did it on caravan 2012 but i want to stay doing on this standard cable...
I was stuck in Minnesota just days ago and had to be back in Oklahoma. It was the weekend and I had now idea what to do except to check out RUclips. I was blessed to stumble on this site and solution. I was able, with the help of a young guy from Autozone, to rig up an inline fuse and get the 2013 T & C up and running. I'm writing from Oklahoma and happy to be back without a challenge. Thanks for making this accessible. I'm now ordering the solutions you've created.
VERY grateful Jason, Chrysler should offer a repair sheet with YOUR solution to every owner!
Thank You very much, this was my problem and it was an easy fix! I was almost ready to drop my tank and found your video!
Helped me out, 10/10 very easy, very clear instructions.
Dealer quoted $2000 cdn to fix
Had this back up and running with the $35 cable.
Many many thanks to Jason
P.s never buying a dodge again
Outstanding! This video popped up in my feed, and at a good time, because my son's new-to-him 2011 T&C started acting up a few days ago, and last night, this problem cropped up at an inconvenient place, an hour from home. We were able to get it started, but the problem was easily recognizable, very distinct from prior research, watching a mechanic go thru diagnosis and repair. Thank you for the excellent video, I'll be on the site later to purchase one of the bypass cables, and get him squared away.
I just ordered the plug in bypass for my 2011 Town & Country. If this works I won't be able to thank you enough. Thank you for the time you have put into this. I have no way to pay what the dealer wanted to replace the TIPM so finding your video and site was a Blessing.
You're not alone. Feel free to call or email us if you have any questions once you receive the cable. Thanks.
Thank you Jason for your video & information, you've saved me a lot of money & time. Good Job and very clever, your by-pass device.
Just worked on a friend 2011 Dodge Caravan which would not start, built your cable with parts from auto zone, tested the fuel pump relay per your instruction, power was intermittent, installed bypass and car started. Thanks for the video and diagram
2012 GRAND CHEROKEE ,,Im not gonna lie ,i am building this exact bypass only because i need it ASAP ,i will however order one from you to support and to keep as a backup ,thank you for all you have done ,GENIUS
Just make sure you don't already have an external fuel pump relay installed. 99% of 2011-2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango owners have them. You can identify them here: verticalvisions.com/en/content/7-external-fuel-pump-relay-basics
RESPECTED ... Life and time saver...thanks
Just ordered one, My 2011 1500 ram started doing this exact thing about 5 days ago. Talked to a local mechanic he suggested to turn the key on and let it set for a few minutes before trying to start the truck. This suggestion works it may take a couple of tries before tit starts but it will start.
Elaborate
@@jfielder8656 He's saying turn the key to the ON position, but don't try to start the vehicle for a few minutes while you leave the key in the ON position. This has been my temporary workaround, but it sometimes takes repeatedly attempts to successfully crank.
An this is exactly what my truck is doing. I have just randomly been doing the crank trick and if I hit the gas at the right time I can sometimes get it to crank and stay running! Definitely gonna look into this relay solution
I found this work around worked for me too, initially I thought my FPR was toast, so I'd turn the key on and off to prime the fuel pump multiple times.
No problems since installing this work around
I found this video a little bit late, I already spent hundreds of dollars on a new fuel pump on my VW Routan 2011 and the pump didnt fix the problem... I found this video like 2-3 weeks ago and bought the cables... A relative living on US sent this cable to Mexico ( where i currently live) and just installed it like 30 mins ago, i'm so happy this worked like a charm. Thank you very much guys
Jason, I have a 2011 Dodge Ram (Hemi) and the battery was dead every morning for four mornings. Replaced alternator, replaced battery but to no avail. Then discovered that the fuel pump was running when the truck was switched off!! Stumbled on this RUclips video and ordered the part. And it works like a charm. I cannot express my gratitude. Christmas is around the corner and the though of a $1500 repair (dealer quote) was making me physically ill. I appreciate your willingness to share this fix at such a reasonable price. My hope is that it has been financially a blessing to you and your family for you have surely financially blessed my family this Christmas. Thank you.
Wade, great post as we get many comments like yours this time of year. Many thanks.
Dear engineer Jason.... thank you for your help , u replied me very fast....i appreciate that ...i am from Iraq , Baghdad...
thank you so much. Car runs great now.
Just got mine and it worked exactly as demonstrated. 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan...My shop told me it was the fuel pump, and it I was minutes away from brining it and spending $1,000 to have it replaced, not to mention that would not have even fixed the problem. Ordered the cable with the LED, ran through the tests...very simple...and it showed the pump was fine. Bypass has had the van running so far today with none of the problems we've been having for the past couple months. Ours would, very intermittently, just crank without ever turning over, even after letting go of the key. Past 2 weeks it started becoming more frequent, and even stalling after starting. No check engine lights or anything or for diagnostic purposes. Thank you so much for making this available, I will probably be sending in the TIPM for a more permanent repair as well. 👍
I fixed my faulty fuel pump relay problem 2 months ago and my 2013 dodge grand caravan is running perfect. It really does solve the problem!!!
Jason saved us over $1,600 today! My daughter's 2011 RAM 1500 quit running in traffic last night. When she called me I could hear the engine turning over so I knew the battery and starter were fine. I drove over 30 miles to help her, but couldn't isolate the problem on the side of the road.
We had it towed to a local Dodge dealer and left the key in the drop box.I received a call early the next morning requesting the authority to proceed with analysis at $126 that would be applied to any repairs. After I gave the OK, I started searching the Web and discovered Jason's site. It didn't take long to get the call stating the TIPM needed full replacement and there would be some programming required for a total of over $1,600! I told them to stop all work!!!
After building a bypass cable I traveled back to the dealership in the afternoon. I paid the $126 charge and got my keys back. I opened the hood right in front of the service check in area, said a quick prayer, and placed the bypass cable. First crank and it started! It is sad that Dodge didn't include more vehicles in it's safety recall.
Jason is awesome!!!
Hi Jason thanks alot .only one information I want give you. Cold wheather bypass is not work . I changed heavy duty battery but still cold wheather like -5 dgree not start
I hope you thanked the service manager after showing him how easy and cheap the fix should be instead of replacing it with another faulty unit
very sad. they know what they have done to their people and have stranded us.
GHC60 just wondering if you are still driving that truck with the bypass setup. Thanx .
I just purchased the plug in relay bypass system (lite). I chose this option to eliminate any possible issues with remote start. I'm fairly sure this will resolve the problem. Thanks for the help.
How can I fix the issue with my Keystart it works fine starts every time EXCEPT for key starter.
So Far so good, I got mine about a week ago and so far it works great. Van starts each time on the first try like it should. Before it took 15-25 mins to start. So much better than spending $1000. Thanks
Thank Mr. Bell I will stay on this channel. I just purchased a 2011 Dodge citadel and this information is something I need. I ready for class 101 so I'll will be asking more questions in the future.
Thank you! Thank you. Thank you! One day I woke up and my car would crank but not start. I was at my wit's end. I had it towed to the local shop where they couldn't diagnose it for a week. I had no warning lights, everything came on, it just would not crank. I researched the issue along with my model, 2013 Chrysler Town and Country, and I kept seeing the same problem that Chrysler refuses to acknowledge...the hinky TIPM and the often failing fuel pump relay and overall lack of reliability of the TIPM. The mechanic eventually said I needed a new fuel pump even though you could hear it come on when the car was turned on and a $694 fuel pump repair. I politely had my car towed to the dealership and they got in and the vile betrayer that is my car started and he drove it around saying that it seemed fine. I came back the next day and it was still fine but they said if I wanted to pay them to diagnose it they would but sometimes it's just one of those things you hysterical woman you. I was at my wit's end, drove it home where it promptly stopped cranking again. I ordered your simple cable, installed it(I am not technically inclined but the instructions were so clear a 10-year-old could do it), and drove around the block....came back home...10 minutes later drove to the grocery store...then back home...parked it came in and went back out to....you see where I am going. A $25 cord saved the day until I can either get a new TIPM or I give up on this car. Thank you!
The most difficult part of our business is convincing people a $25 cable will resolve their issue. Yes, they work and there are thousands of cables in use worldwide since 2014. Thanks for your comments.
How do I buy this part?

I didn't know you had made a you tube video on this. I had emailed you 1 1/2 years ago thanking you for coming up with this solution. My 2011 Chrysler Town and Country had hard start issues from the fuel pump relay not sending power to the fuel pump. It was very fustrating for my wife trying to drive it and it not being reliable at restarting after making a few runs during the day. I noticed when weather was cold outsude it made the symptoms worse. I did take the TIPM puzzle apart and cleaned the three sandwiched boards hoping it would help. I do not recommend trying to do this. After months of trouble the relay got stuck on and would now drain the battery daily. I found your blog on a Google search and made my own bypass using your instructions. The van now has 11500 miles on it. I did install an autostart remote a year later and it worked! I am sorry for not responding to your email as I missed it and found it 3 months after. I recommend this fix for all having this issue. Thanks again for your help and wish you and your family the best.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This worked for a 2013 Chrysler Town and Country! 15 bucks in parts, 15 minutes of time, and it works! Wife's van is back in operation on Mother's Day! I went ahead and didn't put the lower fuse in the fuel pump side just in case the fuel pump was running with the car off.
Thank you so much . I told my mechanic what the problem is. He didnt listen said he would test everything. My Fix D did not show any problem. I just ordered your product. Thanks for your reasonable cost.
thank you Jesus for this video
Just installed it and my 2011 Caravan turned on like a charm. Question; is this a permanent fix or should I plan on replacing the TIPM? Thank you Jason!
It just arrived on time and got our 2012 Grand Caravan back on the road! Thank you so much for this!
Ordered the cable on Friday it was here on Monday. My husband is out of town all week so it just you and me and my phone. I cannot thank you enough. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks.
I just fixed a 2012 grand caravan with this part. The fuel pump was staying on when off
This is the last time I bought a dodge, it's the worst car in the world, the dealer has proven to be despicable for not calling its scrap cars.about this video Ok ok ok some people disagree 🤔 why ؟؟؟؟????? In any case, many thanks and deserves appreciation and admiration.thank you so much Jason.
i agree, since fiat took over they build pure garbage.
Call the factory service rep and explain your problem and what can be done about it and which dealer can you take it to and get problem fixed. I would be very surprised if that didn't work for you.
Every vehicle brand has its issues. Its just different things for different brands. Just because youre having issues doesn't mean they are the "worst" in the world. Ive had issues with ford, chevy, dodge, nissan....
@Jasten Lothes ok My friend, correct. But if you compare your Dodge car with another car, such as Toyota or Honda, you will notice the difference. My Dodge car has 80,000 miles and I got a lot of problems like changing the alternator and the starter ,windows motor (2 times),air blower front and back,thermostat,brake switches,battery(every 2 years because the battery location close to the engine (too hot) and transmission fluid lines ,engine mount , water hose, fuel pump relay,suspension , and more etc... while my Honda car has 200,000 miles 🤔 I haven't changed any parts???(only one battery) what do you think??
@@nouro7723 lol I just love dodge but I see your point
Thank you for making this video. I have a growing family and we depend heavily on our VW Routan Van.
I tried today and It worked. OMG I just saved alot of money by just buying a cable. have to say that on the intermitent relay stuck, I brought the car to the mecanic and they did a 600$ tune up, they managed to turn it on and stabilize it but, you see where we going?? spending and spending because we didn't see this video before. God bless you man !
Thank you sir your video help me out so much please how can I order this product
I just ordered this can't wait to get it
What’s the website to order it ?
Fix your problem?
I purchased one for my 2011 ram , it started having starting issues so I decided to get the bypass cable and it worked on first crank ,great simple fix. thank you.
I used a modified version of your approach to fix my 08 Ram. The bypass cable won't work on this year, but I used the accessory circuit to get keyed voltage. Used that wire to trigger an external relay wired into the fuel pump wire. Worked like a charm. Thank you!
Bypass fuel pump relay 7:00
Tipm they should have called it , Jip-em out of the money that is!
I just installed this started right away without hesitation...great job making this wires! Thank you
I Just fixed my problem thanks to you. I first changed my battery, then replaced my starter and now used your method with the simple wire. It worked! I am so happy because I did it all on my own. With the final part all your help! I will have my board fixed by you guys as soon as you move to your new location. Thanks again! Also my remote start still works on my 2012 Dodge ram 1500 st 2wd. So for anyone wanting to know if this will work on your same vehicle it will. Thanks!
I have a 2012 Dodge Ram Pick up and was ready to replace fuel pump.....which is a real chore. What was happening that made me think it was bad is....I could hear the pump running when vehicle was off and my battery would drain overnight..... Not all the time but occasionally. While researching other potential scenarios I came across this video and website. I ordered cable online from these guys and did prescribed test and installed cable.....It worked perfect.
Thank you very much.......how sweet it is to fix something like this so easily. Its like when your in school and you pay someone to do your home work so you can go play......not that I ever did that ( - ; Ralph
Last year, not too long after the rain started, the wipers on my 2007 JK Wrangler quit working. I swapped relays, and that wasn't it. Figuring it was the motor, and not having the right tools to replace that, I took it to the shop. Turns out it was the TIPM, and it cost me about $1000 to fix. Yesterday I got into my Jeep, and it started, but the wipers started running, and wouldn't shut off, and none of the dash instruments were working. Frigging TIPM again. I disconnected the battery overnight, and the problem resolved itself. Thanks Jason for the information you've shared on this issue.
THANK YOU!!! Worked like a charm, engine turned right over....what a relief. Thanks again.
Hi Jason. I received my TIPM cable this week in Ontario for my 2011 Grand Caravan and it worked perfectly. Thanks for creating it and supplying to the masses. Great job. : )
hi I have a question the battery of your car does not discharge ??? When do you have all the cables connected?
