I have 128k miles on the truck and pretty much zero issues, till now. It started with the seat and steering heater not working. Then my back up sensors went. Two days later, airbag light came on, a/c fan not working, but compressor kicks in. Backup camera also not working. I can't come up with any answers on this one. I would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks

I unlatched it, and reconnected. Pins and connectors looked clean. Same stuff not working.

For steering wheel heater, that sounds like the clock spring (located behind the steering wheel and airbag). I lost cruise control when mine went. It's a bit of a mission to replace, but not too bad, just takes a bit of time, and mirrors to see wat you are doing in particular to unclip the air bag (I used a cell phone on the dash using the front camera so i could watch what my hands wee doing,. worked well lol). That was on my 2010 Hemi Laramie, but I'd be willing to bet Eco is the same. Clock springs available from Rock Auto. I am not sure if this will affect the other not working things you refer to or not (one would think not). Check fuses fo the other things. Oh, my seat haeters in 2010 didnt work either, I suspect the just crapped out due to many bums on seats so to speak. Check electrical connections as they others have said, before pulling clock spring.

Could also be a failing battery. They will wreak havoc on these trucks with ghost problems lol

I think I resolved it. The fan relay and fuse where ok. I pulled off the blower motor, found this. Waiting on new a new blower. Somehow the blower may be shorting the electrical system. I will update when the blower arrives.

Ok, everything is working. It was the airbag fuse hidden under the plastic puller, holds two 10 amp fuses. I think the one fuse had some corrosion. I replaced the the fan motor, and I did a clean reset, disconnected the battery for an hour. Everything is back to normal. Thank you for the suggestions.

I had the same issue with my former 2017 on the backup camera. The connection on mine in the tail gate same loose. Reconnect and tie down with zip ties.
