Dodge TIPM Module Repair & Replacement
Just Put it in and Drive, no need to visit the dealer!
How Car Computer Exchange Repairs Dodge TIPMs
Car Computer Exchange repairs Dodge TIPMs through a send-in service. You ship your module to the Raleigh, NC facility. The team runs it through a 13-point quality check on a computer-aided vehicle simulator, rebuilds any failed circuits, and ships it back pre-programmed to your VIN.
The process covers all Dodge models in the TIPM Repair Services catalog, from the Dodge Journey TIPM to the Durango, Grand Caravan, and Ram. No dealer visit required after install. Every repaired module plugs in and communicates with your vehicle's anti-theft, emissions, and transmission systems on first start.
Dodge TIPM Repair vs. Dealer Replacement: Lifetime Warranty Included
Repairing your existing Dodge TIPM costs less than a dealer replacement and keeps the original module's VIN data intact. A dealer charges $800 to $1,300+ for parts, labor, and a separate programming fee. Send-in repair rebuilds the failed circuits without replacing the entire unit.
Car Computer Exchange backs every Dodge TIPM repair with:
- Free lifetime warranty after core return within 21 days
- Up to two replacements over the life of your vehicle
- No mileage limit
- 60-day Iron-Clad Guarantee, a separate refund layer if the repaired module doesn't fix the issue
Chrysler TIPM repair and Jeep TIPMs follow the same process for shared-platform vehicles.
Dodge TIPM Module Failures: Ram, Durango & Grand Caravan
The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) is the central electrical hub in every Dodge built from 2006 through 2020. It routes power from the battery to the fuel pump relay, wiper motors, horn, headlights, power locks, and dozens of other circuits. Mopar part numbers on these units carry the 56049-, 04692-, 68028-, 68089-, and 68244- prefixes depending on platform and year.
Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks built from 2006 to 2012 are the highest-failure group, including 5.7L Hemi and 4.7L V8 gas variants plus 5.9L and 6.7L Cummins diesel trucks. The Durango (2007-2009 second gen and 2011-2015 third gen) and the 2008-2014 Grand Caravan are next in failure volume. The root cause is internal: solder cracks on the circuit board, water intrusion through damaged seals, and corroded relays that cannot be individually replaced.
Car Computer Exchange has been rebuilding TIPM circuits at the Raleigh, NC facility since 2011. Jeep TIPMs share the same platform and the same failure patterns.
Fuel Pump, Wiper & Electrical Symptoms in Dodge TIPMs
A failing Dodge TIPM triggers a predictable pattern:
- Fuel pump relay stops priming, engine cranks but will not start
- Wipers or headlights activate on their own
- Battery drains overnight with no accessories running
- Power windows, door locks, or A/C stop responding
Common DTC codes pulled from a scan tool when the TIPM is the source:
- B210B (system voltage high, signal above allowable range)
- U0140 (lost communication with body control module / TIPM)
- U0141 (lost communication with body control module)
- U0184 (lost communication with radio)
- U110E (lost communication with gateway module)
- U110C (lost fuel level signal from fuel pump module)
- U1403 (implausible fuel level signal received)
The Dodge Durango TIPM is the most commonly submitted model, followed by the Dodge Grand Caravan TIPM. If these symptoms match your vehicle, a diagnostic scan can confirm whether the TIPM is the source before you order a repair.
FAQs
How much does it cost to replace a Dodge TIPM?
A dealer OEM replacement includes parts, labor, and a separate programming fee. Professional send-in repair rebuilds the existing module for a fraction of the dealer price while keeping your original VIN data. Car Computer Exchange's repair includes a free lifetime warranty with core return. Visit your model's service page for current pricing.
What years of Dodge have TIPM issues?
The 2006 to 2012 model years are most commonly affected, particularly the Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500, Durango, Grand Caravan, and Journey. Car Computer Exchange covers Dodge TIPMs from 2006 through 2020 across 63 year-model configurations across 9 Dodge vehicle lines.
Are TIPM problems common in Dodge vehicles?
Yes. TIPM failures are one of the most reported electrical issues across the Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep platforms. Widespread NHTSA complaints led to recalls in 2014, with expanded actions through 2019 covering certain Durango and Grand Cherokee models. Car Computer Exchange has repaired TIPMs for over 150,000 customers since 2011.
Can a hard reset fix a Dodge TIPM?
Disconnecting both battery cables and touching them together can temporarily clear electrical gremlins by draining stored capacitor charge. This does not repair underlying failures like cracked solder joints or burned internal relays. If symptoms return after a reset, the circuit board needs professional repair.
