Default Need help lost

Ok guys so my instrument panel has been acting funny abs lights come on air bag lights come on speedometer goes to zero when you go to roll down the window the brake light will come on and not let you roll the windows down and the radio and clock quite working and my edge juice won't work along with the cts..... I tested all the fuses and they all test fine.... Looked for the ground wires to clean them up found a few don't know how many there actually is, they weren't too bad... Need some help and info if anybody has dealt with this before please..... I'm lost been told maybe it's the computer but the truck shows no codes doing the key trick....

Thanks in advance
Josh

So been having this problem for a couple weeks now and I was at it again looking for what could be the cause of this and I found the negative battery cable on the drivers side the ground wire coming off of it is not grounded, it is sitting in between where the bumper mounts to the frame!!!!!! Don't know why.... So where is this ground suppose to hook up to?????? Thinking maybe this is my problem actually hopeing it is!!!!! Any help or thoughts appreciated
Thanks
Josh

you could try to hook it up somewhere else or clean it as long as you have a good ground to the frame your good.

get some dielectric grease and check the bolt on connector in the fuse box under the hood coat it with grease and try that it, worked on mine. this is not the first time i've heard that particular connector has caused similar fits good luck...

ok guys so still got the problem but when we tried to test it with the snap on scanner it wouldnt let it scan the truck, so i called my local dodge dealer and they said that the obd2 and my radio,dome lights,clock,guage cluster,power mirrors,edge juice all run through a black box under the dash.... so i look up under there and sure enough there is one.... and the local dealer says that this is the first time they have heard of this going bad???? question::: has anybody ever had to replace this "brain box" i guess you could call it???? if so did you buy a brand new one or hit the junk yard??? just wandering
