I said 'no thanks I'll tinker with it myself, but you can book me in for all that recall work thats free '' Then he went on to tell me that it would be $150/hr to look at it, and that a replacement latch assembly was $145. Incidentally, I was at the dealership and asked the service guy if there were any issues like this on the ram boxes and he said 'nope.'. I then loosed the 4 bolts again and repositioned that plate into it's original position since it was never the issue. Next I placed the lid down and gently pressed until it clicked once and then added some force and low and behold it clicked that final time and the lid fit as snug as it ever has. Well once I sprayed it all down with graphite it clicked instantly! I could repeatedly, and flawlessly get it to click at those 2 points. It is supposed to click TWICE, but mine swung up and right back down without ever catching atoll. What I noticed at the start of day 2 was that latch on the ram box would NOT click. And finally after spraying the latch assembly I worked the latch manually with my finger - pushing the latch in and hoping to feel that telltale double click. So I sprayed everything down and then put the key in the ram box lock and worked it back and forth, as well as pushing it in and out. Thankfully before I did though a thought occurred to me - why not start with something incredibly simple? Something like, say, spraying the sh!t out of the lockset and the latch springs etc. The next day I thought I'd rip into the entire latch assembly. It was hot, and the beer and cigars were calling my name While 3800 permutations of positioning later I wasn't even a hair closer to any joy. My first thought in terms of a possible solution was to loosen the 4 bolts holding the 'bolt' which the latch catches in the hopes that it might be out of position a fraction of an inch. After that I refused to open it until the other day when I had time to look at it. The second is a trade-in bonus for most of those vehicles. I pulled off and managed to slam it shut after injecting enough rage into it. The first program is a 100 incentive for all affected owners to get their recalled vehicle fixed.

That is until I was driving home from work one night and looked back to see my driver side lid standing vertically while I careened down the hwy. I ram into the problem weeks ago and was lucky enough to have it close randomly with minimal attempts so I let it go.

Problem: Ram box suddenly refuses to latch closed. I tried searching and couldn't come up with a ram box issue like this so I thought I'd make a quick note of this fix for the next guy.
