"kudran, yes it can. The ASD relay is located in the Integrated Power Module (IPM), in the engine compartment. Refer to label on PDC cover for relay location.

To test the relay see if this helps. When the PCM energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal 87 connects to terminal 30.

This is the On position. Terminal 87 supplies voltage to the rest of the circuit.

The following procedure applies to the ASD and fuel pump relays.

(1) Remove relay from connector before testing.

(2) With the relay removed from the vehicle, use an ohmmeter to check the resistance between terminals 85 and 86. The resistance should be 75 ohms +/- 5 ohms.

(3) Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 30 and 87A. The ohmmeter should show continuity between terminals 30 and 87A.

(4) Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 87 and 30. The ohmmeter should not show continuity at this time.

(5) Connect one end of a jumper wire (16 gauge or smaller) to relay terminal 85. Connect the other end of the jumper wire to the ground side of a 12 volt power source.

(6) Connect one end of another jumper wire (16 gauge or smaller) to the power side of the 12 volt power source. Do not attach the other end of the jumper wire to the relay at this time.

WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW OHMMETER TO CONTACT TERMINALS 85 OR 86 DURING THIS TEST. DAMAGE TO OHMMETER MAY RESULT.

(7) Attach the other end of the jumper wire to relay terminal 86. This activates the relay. The ohmmeter should now show continuity between relay terminals 87 and 30. The ohmmeter should not show continuity between relay terminals 87A and 30.

(8) Disconnect jumper wires.

(9) Replace the relay if it did not pass the continuity and resistance tests. If the relay passed the tests, it operates properly. Check the remainder of the ASD and fuel pump relay circuits.

You may be going down a very deep rabbit hole. Remember that Chrysler had incredible trouble, including multiple lawsuits and recall's based on TIPM issues. I've just gone through $$$$ repairs based on TIPM issues...... so your issue may not be isolated to the ASD relay."

I'm having a simular problem I'm trying to check the a/c relay before I replace my condenser fan which is not spinning at all but I can't find even one relay under hood or in cab. System been vac out and recharged when sitting still hot air blows out vents but when u r driving over 20mph the ac is cold as ice. Also turned ac on and checked fan it not working and checked all fuses was about to buy new fan and my buddy told me check relays so here we r. And finally is the blower motor inside easy to change.

I had the same problem, if you look under the fuse box/tcim you will see a bolt going into the fender that is holding your relay you need to replace the relay and also look under the driver side front fender there is a plug that you need to unplug and clean. this should fix your problem

"Hi,

I have a similar issue to the issues described above. It's a 2007 Dodge Durango, 5.7L Hemi. It has the two relay like boxes on the driver's side, with the TIPM (I guess, same number, P04692) toward the front. Initially had some strange issues. Found eventually a dead battery. That led to the need for a new alternator (low voltage when running). Then when truck was left alone for awhile, battery would go to 0. Found that fuel and ASD relays would chatter intermittently, running battery down.

Charged battery up, was able to start it. Then stopped it for awhile. Then relay chattering started again. Here's a tip, when you can't start it: Remove the ground cable from the battery for a few minutes and then reattach. Each time i've done this i get different results. Many times it seems like it's ok and even can start and run. But after a while the freakiness starts again. I think it's the TIPM. I swapped relays around in case there was a contact or relay issue to no avail. I took most of it apart and reseated all connections, removed and polished up the ground near the sidewall. But same effect. Tomorrow i hope to be able to get a TIPM module from the dealer (assuming it's a few hundred and not 1200). We'll see.

Any other ideas?"

"Hi @James and Littrell,

You don’t state the model year of your vehicle, but here’s an image taken from the Wiring section of the 2004 Dodge Ram service repair manual.

It shows the colour of the wires and the IPM wire connection terminals for the Fuel Pump relay and its’ contact. Well mostly anyway, the wire colours for the wires internal to the IPM are not shown, but you should be able to work it out

(click on image to enlarge for better viewing).

Hopefully it is the same for your year model."
