QuestionQUESTION: Hi,
If my memory serves the truck will not start with the gas door open.
The gas door light on the dashboard remains on (the gas door is closed) and the
truck will not start.
Is there a switch on or near the gas door and how do you get to it?
Could something else cause this problem.
ANSWER: no there is no switch for the gas door being open

INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS
Two basic instrument cluster options are offered on Ram truck models. One is referred to as a low-line cluster, and the other is referred to as a high-line cluster. Each cluster is served by a printed circuit and two wiring connectors. Some variations of each cluster exist due to optional equipment and regulatory requirements.
The low-line cluster includes the following gauges:
•Coolant temperature gauge
•Fuel gauge
•Gear selector indicator (automatic transmission)
•Oil pressure gauge
•Speedometer/odometer.
•Trip odometer
•Voltmeter.
The low-line cluster includes provisions for the following indicator lamps:
•Airbag indicator lamp
•Anti-lock brake system lamp
•Brake warning lamp
•Four-wheel drive indicator lamps
•Generator warning lamp
•Headlamp high beam indicator lamp
•Low oil pressure warning lamp
•Malfunction indicator (Check Engine) lamp
•Seat belt reminder lamp
•Turn signal indicator lamps
•Upshift indicator lamp.
The high-line cluster includes all of the gauges and indicator lamps found in the low line cluster, but adds a analog tachometer, low fuel warning lamp and low washer fluid warning lamp. Some of the low line cluster gauges and indicator lamps have different positions or sizes in the high line cluster to accommodate the tachometer.
