RAM 2500 Truck 4WD V8-5.7L VIN D (2005)
1. Using a trim stick C-4755 or equivalent, gently pry on each side of the Airbag Control Module (ACM) cover located under the cup holder and
remove the ACM cover.
2. Operated the cup holder with the ACM cover removed. If the cup holder now operates freely, there is an interference between the ACM cover and
bottom of the cup holder. If the cup holder binds with the ACM cover removed, proceed to Step 6.
3. Install the ACM cover and inspect the area where the cup holder and the ACM cover come together (3). There must be a gap between the ACM
cover and the bottom of the cup holder. If the ACM cover is in contact with cup holder, try realigning the cover by pushing the bottom of the cover
towards the front, if this provides a gap and the cup holder now operates freely, the repair is complete. If the gap cannot be achieved by adjusting
the ACM cover proceed to the next step.
4. The ACM wire harness (1) runs rearward along the left side of the tunnel under the carpet. Rub your hand along the carpet in the area of the
bottom of the ACM cover and feel for the harness. If the harness can be felt, it may be pushing the ACM cover upward and into the cup holder. If
this is happening it may be necessary to reroute the harness or remove carpet padding from the area.
5. Roll the carpet back and make sure that there are no plastic retainers in the area that could cause the interference. If a retainer is present remove it.
Make sure that the harness is not sitting on a raised portion of the floor. If it is, reroute the harness to a lower area on the floor. Remove the any
carpet padding from the area where the harness contacts the carpet to gain additional clearance. This should provide the clearance needed, and
complete the repair.
