*Has this ever happened to you?*
This is a thing newer mopar vehicles do. My 2017 jeep gc, 2020 jeep gc, and my 19 ram 1500 have all done it after jump starting due to a completely or near completely dead battery. Dealer says it's due to all the "low voltage" alarms in the ecu/bcm, etc. Basically let it sit for a while until the battery's charged and then restart the vehicle and it'll go out of limp mode.
Yes.. 2019 limited .. Battery would start after a few tries at first but I got a rough idle .. Christmas tree and Only 1st gear.. Then Battery gave out completely at autozone.. this all was completely random... New Battery no issues.. She's an Amp Gobbler lol
Some trinity units drain batteries. Had it happen to me on my 4th gen. Nothing like this on my 5th gen yet, but I keep my trinity unplugged... awesome channel man!!!
Dude yes this happened to me last winter. My truck looks exactly like yours same year, color and everything. I know I didn't leave anything on. Luckily when mine happened I work right next to the dealership and didn't have to drive far. The dealership was stomped and acted like a low battery should not do that other stuff and not let it shift. They charged the battery and reset the light and said something about it needing a update that shouldn't allow the truck to do that with a low battery. They would not replace the battery because after charging it they said it passed and wasn't bad. They did a load test and nothing was draining it they said. So I still till this day don't know what happened. I kept an eye on it a few weeks after with my multimeter and it seemed like the battery was still starting to get low on volts like 11.9 ish in that area. So I charged it back up myself and stopped using some features by turning some things off seeing if anything changed. So I don't know if this was the problem or not I stopped using my electronic emergency break. My driveway has a incline so I set that electronic break on at night. After I stopped using that I have not had that problem and that was last winter and I still have the same battery. I haven't checked the volts with my multimeter in awhile so I'm not sure if they are up or not but who knows. It did suck though.
I had the same exact truck as you except silver. My battery died(no clue why) but it was dead dead and I needed a new battery. It died 1.5 years into owning. Dealership warranty towed it and put a new battery in. I had a 4x4 issue after that. The 4wd buttons when pressed would operate but the 4wd drivetrain would not shift into gear and would say it needed to be serviced. electronics and power…. Dealership ended up upgrading my ecu/tcu. I posted on 5thgenrams about my issue. Could be that same!?
Wow! I unplugged the negative connection to the battery for about 20 seconds then plugged it back in and it’s shifting like it should and no warning on the dash. Thanks brothers. You all rock God bless
Haven’t replaced my battery in the three years that I own my truck. I think it’s time to replace it after seeing this video. I believe they programmed the trucks to stay in first gear while in low Power mode to keep the transmission from possibly being damaged if the vehicle somehow completely loses power. It’s just a theory 🤷♂️….. good video have a good one Truck Central🔥🔥🔥
That is exactly what my son‘s truck is doing. It’s a 2019 dodge ram with a V6 and he came out of Kroger‘s the other day and it would not start. I had to call AAA AAA to get it jumped using their super power jumper. Jumping it with another car did not work. Anyway, it would not shift out of first gear driving home so we have a new battery and we’re going to replace it tomorrow.
To all of the Ram guys out there: The first time you notice a hard/abnormal start, get your battery checked asap. These trucks will do all sorts of weird things with a battery on its way out.
Good advice. What was weird about this for me was it was showing zero symptoms of a weak battery. Killed over out of the blue.
Mines currently in the shop. Doing wide left or right turns for whatever makes the steering wheel lock in places and when finishing that curve, I have to jolt the steering wheel out of its locked position and is just over very rough driving and dangerous.
Service advisor said battery showed its on its way out and can be a possibility. Still waiting on an answer
@@jetfixer2183 I just paid 215.00 at the dealership this week for battery replacement. Out of warranty ofcourse! Battery dropped to 9.5 volts for no apparent reason- everything locked up and would not start!
@@kerry4371 having the same issue right now about to get it fixed
My dad's 2021 dodge 1500 Laramie just crapped out 2 weeks ago. It's still in the shop and the latest was a blown head gasket and broken valve spring. Theyre still trying to figure it out. It's got 13k miles.
Basically you were in limp mode until battery is charged or replaced..thanks for the info and I'll remember that when my battery runs low..
Is staying in 4th also limp mode?
Yes sir. I got a new battery in and it’s been fine ever since.
This was very helpful, thank you! We went on a long trip and left the RAM in the garage. Imagine the surprised look on my face when we returned home and the RAM wouldn’t start. 😮😂 I jumped the truck using my wife’s car and everything described in this video all the way to it not shifting our of first gear happened. Replaced the battery (original stock battery from 2019, poor maintenance on me) and all the faults reset. Runs like a charm! Thanks again!
Took our 19 ram limited on a 9k road trip with no issues at all. Ac worked great in death valley heat (120°f) (Camping/ camping in the bed) couldn't pick a better truck to do the trip in
They are great all around trucks. Glad to hear the AC held up.
Great video, I had this problem 2 days ago with my Ram TRX . It’s not shifting from the first gear i found your UA-cam video and I drove it to the next battery shop about 3 miles away. I replaced the battery with a new one that has 100 amp. But did not do any thing I called a flat truck to deliver my Truck home . Next day I tried to disconnect the truck bed wiring from the battery and then problem solved. I am released now. Thank you man.
I have the 2019 Ram limited and last weekend I pulled my truck out to the driveway to wash it. Started to dry it off and noticed the rear of the truck was in the highest mode and the front was in the lowest. Went to to start it - truck was dead,everything locked up. The E-break locked up and all error messages you got, I got as well. Checked the voltage and it was at 9.5 volts. Threw the charger on it to get it fully charged and bam, everything finally reset. Dealership said that if voltage drops below 12, this will happen. Long story short, new battery- its all good. Count on every 3 years to change the battery. My thoughts are, even when the truck is shut down- it's still feeding all the electronics in this truck!!! I did not experience the 1st gear issue while driving it to the dealership.
On other Chrysler products when ever I get strange things like this or radio malfunction I unhook the negative battery cable for a few seconds then everything always works.
That bs is still happening on the newer ones? I had electrical issues on my 2010. Thought they would sort that out by now. So glad I got rid of my junk ram.
Make sure all your relays and fuses are fully seated in both fuse boxes(the one under the hood and the one behind the knee bolster underneath the steering wheel).
This video was very helpful for me!!
Hi Everyone,
I know this thread is old but for anyone who recently had the same issue i can share what the resolution was for me.
My battery died on my 2021 ram and when I replaced it, i went to the dealer to clear the code and they could not get it to stay clear.
After I dropped the truck off and they spent more time looking into the issue they learn that it was a connection lose between the abs systems and others that was causing this issue.
I ended up with a $100 fix for needing to upgrade my battery.
Been there done that with my 2019 Ram 1500. Always check your batteries cranking amps vs what it should be. New battery was the answer. Also, when jump starting your truck never have the other vehicle running while you start yours. On board computer systems do not like that.
I’m dealing with this issue right now! Thanks for this video I was freaking out big time!
did you figure it out? I had a dead battery and swapped it. Now I have no traction control, no from and rear impact sensors and ABS lights BUT no engine light. The dealer said it would go away but its been weeks.
@@Andy-ks9cr Yeah, I swapped out the battery and all my troubles went away fortunately. Best of luck to you!
Happened to me a week ago. Got new battery, shifts fine but still got a Christmas tree and hasn't reset for 5 days. I hate the idea to have to go to the incompetent dealership techs...
Yikes. That’s no bueno. Luckily all my lights went away.
This is happening to my 202q Ram trx what else is there to try? I unplugged battery for 30 min plugged back and it still the same
@Enrique Mtz honestly, nothing besides going to the dealership, they had to reset the computer and do a software update... I literally tried everything under the sun and ultimately had to bring it in.
@@thewoodologist8176 guess I'll do that thanks
@Enrique Mtz I've had it happen a few times, if it doesn't correct it self within 24hours, unfortunately dealer is the only option
I had a similar experience with my 2019 Big Horn. Not frequently, but more than once. Not related to dead batteries or jump starts. It simply didn't want to shift after coming to a dead stop. I have always been able to pull over and shift to park, then back to drive and it cleared up. I've also been able to clear it by manually incrementing the gears. Never made sense, and I never found a root cause. Just traded it for a 2022 Limited, so fingers crossed that the electronics in the new one are more stable. This is my seventh RAM truck. It's a love / hate relationship.
TCM not talking to ECM Transmisson doesnt know what gear it's in? TCM is transmisson control module.
Next time unhook the negative terminal on the battery for about 5 minutes then hook the terminal back up. To speed it up u can also turn ur lights on after disconnecting the negative terminal. Honestly, it's not huge, easy to fix. Always remember anything electronic number 1 first thing to try is a power cycle. And in terms of a vehicle that means completely removing the power source to the ECM. What fixed it here wasn't the battery IMHO but the act of unplugging the battery and taking power away from the ECM when u changed it.
I did have this happen to my 2019 Laramie. I did all the same things you did, initially. Powered down, started, put it in drive, wouldn't come out of 1st. 3 times. Then I tried shifting manually. It worked. I parked it, put it back into automatic and it worked like it was supposed to. The only warning light I had that was similar was the traction control.
Just happened to me.. dealership diagnosed it as the Power Pack Unit. These trucks are little known, Hybrids. The power back units are made overseas and I was told it would take 5 weeks before it’s arrival. My truck is a 2019 Ram limited. In a holding pattern right now
Justin, You and I have almost identical trucks only mine is white and we deleted the sunroof. 2019 RAM 1500 Limited, crewcab, 5.5 foot box, RAM boxes, 4x$, Hemi, etc.. I had a very similar problem when the truck was brand new. Somehow the battery got discharged to the point I needed a jump start from AAA.
After the start many of the icons/apps on the display just disappeared. It was a cold day but the heated seats and steering wheel not only wouldn't work, the icons to activate them were AWOL. It was a Sunday so no dealer support. The lady on the RAM 1-800 number suggested I go for a drive preferably on a highway to charge the battery.
I did this, and guess what? It worked. After an hour of highway cruising, everything was back to normal.
The next day I took it to the dealer, they tested the battery, and it failed right away. My truck had been built with a dud battery. It was replaced under warrantee.
I spoke with the mechanic. He explained that the systems attempt to protect the truck and occupants from harm when something has gone wrong. A discharged or partially charged battery is about the worst possible case for onboard electronics. Not having heated seats on a cold day is a bummer :) but consider if the safety functions like AEB or Lane Keep or ....... are compromised. Easy to understand why it would choose to keep you in first gear.
Since them we have had zero issues with this truck. Love it to bits.
When the battery dies the truck software reverts back to a base model temporarily. All the lights will come on and make it look like a major issue. The truck has your settings and truck specs saved somewhere (on the cloud or internally I’m guessing). It takes a long time for your truck features and settings to upload and go back to normal on its own. I think your tune could be the reason for the truck not shifting. I never had it stay in 1st gear. My truck is stock with a pedal commander. A few times after a jump the truck would accelerate very slowly even when I floored it. I jumped out. Turned the truck off. Removed the pedal commander…then the truck started driving normal. All the lights and chaos were still on. After a few hours the truck finished uploading my features and went back to normal. I reinstalled my pedal commander and it started working fine.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. It just may be the tune.
Once battery is changed and all lights are on do this: without starting engine, press start button to run, wait 5 seconds, press to off, wait 10 seconds, do this 3 times, start truck, all lights should go off.
I haven’t had that happen but yesterday I started to get a radiator fluid smell from the AC vents. I have a 2019 longhorn with 107k. I also get intermittent stop start issues with the e-torque. ( dealer can’t seem to find the issue). . Good news is I got the unlimited year unlimited mile warranty warranty. Going to wear them out with it.
Had issues with my stop/start. They came back and said it was a faulty switch somewhere with the break pedal. Replaced it with no charge.
Dude yes this happened to me last winter. My truck looks exactly like yours same year, color and everything. I know I didn't leave anything on. Luckily when mine happened I work right next to the dealership and didn't have to drive far. The dealership was stomped and acted like a low battery should not do that other stuff and not let it shift.

Had the same problem. “Service Power Steering” “Lane Sense and Auto Highbeams unavailable Service Required” and “No cameras available,”
Pushing the +/- gear buttons solved the problem.
This happened to me the week of July 4th, 2023. I have a Ram 1500 5.7L 4x4 bighorn quad cab. I ran the truck for several days using a jump pack (when the battery was too dead to start the truck) and found that you cannot jump this truck without first disconnecting the battery and draining any residual energy by attempting to start the truck with the battery disconnected. If you do, it won't shift. If your battery is dead enough to fail to start on the 1st attempt, it will not shift out of first. You HAVE to disconnect the battery and drain before you jump it. It was pretty frustrating.
Really Appreciate Your Videos.
My 19 Limited Only Has 43,000 Miles.
I’ve Had This Transmission Hold In First Gear One Time.
I Shut The Truck Off For A Few Minutes.
Started It Back Up.
Hasn’t Done It Since.
My 2012 Toyota Tundra did the same thing when air pump froze. (It was 15° out). It wouldn't go over 30 mph. Truck had maybe 2500 miles on it when happened.
We have the 2019 Laramie. At a little over 40k miles we went to photograph a state playoff football game over a hundred miles from home. We had no warning signs before hand but came out after the game (10pm) hit the start button, there was a loud pop, dash went crazy and the truck went dark for several seconds. Power comes back up, no errors or messages. Tried the start button again with the same result. Finally had it towed to the dealer. Long store short it was a dead battery. Now it looks like even if I had jumped it there was now way I could have got it home until I put a new battery in it.
2007, 2016, 2019 Ram with zero issues
I'v been fortunate! Good trucks! 🙂
You certainly have been lucky sir. Go buy yourself a lottery ticket. 👍🏼 (Can’t say I’ve had any luck with my 14. Now hate Rams completely).
My 2019 Rebel died a couple of days ago. I was just sitting in a parking lot with the windows down and acc on. I didn’t have any music playing, just had the acc on to roll the windows down. I tried to start the truck, but all I got was a single click. I could roll up all windows except the drivers, but after that, I couldn’t do anything else. I jumped it and it started immediately.
Battery showed 14.2v, which is normal. My nav screen wouldn’t come on though no matter what I did. Came out the next morning to test the battery and charging system but thought I’d try to start it. It fired right up and showed 14.2v…it’s been running fine since. I’m going to pull the battery and load test it tomorrow and go from there.
It's called "Limp home mode" it's in the manual. not looking foreward to it but it's designed to do that
If you have the e-torque engine and your Tesler battery under the back seat goes out you will have a problem, cost wise.
Have you had it happen? Lol
@@robertsoria9293 Yes, and battery cost $350. The under the hood not the one under the back seat.
@@lincolngrayson1013 yeah thats high
I've had this very same thing happen to my 2019 RAM 4x4 1500 and typically, I pull over to the side of the road and turn the engine off, the back on, put it in neutral and rev the engine to about 2000 RPM for a couple of seconds while holding the brake, then put it into drive while at idle and it seems to shift once again. I had wondered if it is a sensor problem, but low voltage in the sensor sounds about right! I've seriously thought about installing a more heavy duty battery than the original factory... as it always seems that the factory batter is made to go out sooner!
Yea I went to 850 crank battery then normal 750 crank battery
I’m on my 3rd battery for my 21 longhorn, wondering if somehow my truck is killing out the battery’s
Had the same thing happen. 2019 RAM 1500 Limited. I don’t drive enough to charge the battery properly and had the dealer give me a new battery. To get the truck to shift in that situation turn the shift knob to neutral and let the RPMs die down then turn to drive. That’s how I was able to shift gear back to the dealer.
I will keep that in mind if it happens again. Thanks!
@@MrJustinWheeler - I have to get on the ball with my UA-cam channel. I like the content you put out and inspire me to do the same. I also took a video of my issue and well…. Scared the hell out of me when having the family with me. Good luck my friend
@@jonwoods1981 I just sub’d. Look forward to seeing what you put out. Thanks!
Chrysler products with the 5.7/6.4 HEMI are extremely sensitive to battery voltage and proper charge levels. It is amazing how many electronics are on these cars these days. I was driving along just fine one night in my 2020. Stopped for gas. Went to start it and nothing! Got a jump and yep, mine did exactly like yours. Only one parts store had the battery...at $239 @9pm at night! With you being at 127kmi, you've certainly gotten your use out of it!
I'm at 143K on my original 2016 battery in my Ecodiesel...voltage still in normal range but Iay be pushing my luck. Probably should do a load test.
FYI !! I have the same exact Ram. I appreciate all your videos. My FIRST problem at 51 k. Starter went out. Dealer replaced it under extended warranty. I was kinda disappointed in that i do use the “e-torque” start and stop. I guess I’ll be turning that off!
my 2019 limited was just sent off to the dealer for what i am hoping is the same issue! pulled it into my garage this morning to tint my windows at 53,300 miles and when i went to start it up it would just click and nothing would happen. my guess is the original owner never disabled start/stop and i always do. just got the truck last week with 52,500 on it.
@@craig4926 could have been the battery or people flooring it while the auto stop has the engine off. That's a way to kill the starter
I thought the auto start/stop at lights and such used the electric motor to start instead of the starter.
@@aaronu6870 i believe it does
@@robertsoria9293 it was my starter, the autostart/stop kills the starters lifespan
Thanks for the video and peace of mind that my new truck isn't screwed.
I had a 2019 ram, though I didn't have this problem. I had several problems, they were so bad that chrysler customer service told me to stop calling. And before you ask, they did not fix them. After several trips to the dealer for repairs, they could not find what was wrong, though the truck showed a communication problem between all of the computers. Chrysler insisted that there was nothing wrong, but I would constantly have issues that were related to the t.m.p. module. I would suggest that you take your truck to the dealer and ask them to check the history and reset the system so you have a better chance of the problem being fixed.
I can take the shift knob v. lever... but not having the ability to actually shift manually whatsoever sucks. Happened to me with a low mileage 2020 Ram 1500 where it stuck in 1st gear and wouldn't shift. I had to pull over, turn the truck off and back on to clear it. Had nothing to do with battery and never re-occurred. Software... does amazing things in vehicles, but also is a plague.
2021 model with only 30k mi. Same issue, ran battery low while working outside. Had to put on charger for a few minutes. Issue with warning lights and shifting lasted for a few miles . After third restart …… ALL CLEAR 😳🤪
My 19' did it as well. The mechanic disconnected the positive and negative battery cables. He shorted those cables together for a few seconds to clear out all the trouble codes keeping it in limp mode, we charged the battery up. then he hooked them back on the battery normally. It started again and was fine, but it freaked me out so I replaced the battery anyways.
This afternoon my wife went to start her 19 1500 Laramie and it was dead. She was finally able to get it started and took it to the auto parts place to check the code and it says P1DF3 which seems to have something to do with the gearshift selector assembly. Her truck actually still has the original battery and 46000 miles which I can’t believe. She didn’t tell me the code until she got home and they didn’t replace the battery. Tomorrow I’ll go get a new battery and hope that fixes the problem. She was planning to drive to Florida tomorrow for Thanksgiving but she’s just going to take my Rebel instead. We’re a RAM family. LOL.
Welcome to limp mode. My old Honda pilot would often have a cylinder misfire when I started it, go into limp mode and would stay there until I cleared the codes by driving it through the ridiculous testing cycle. It didn't cut the transmission back to first gear though, that's nuts.
My 19 1500 Laramie battery died suddenly after jumping it a few times I had the same shifting issue. I ended up getting towed and the dealer said the battery was fine after they did day long diagnostics. They ended up replacing the battery when it was dead again in the lot. It has been ok since but now the engine light is on and won’t clear.
Happened to me multiple times. I was running the Edge Tuner in my 19' 1500. You need to check if there's an update for the diablo. Once updated it should stop happening. If not you may need to send the pcm back to diablo for the update. But I guarantee once you take that tuner out, it stops happening. Good luck, great to have a tuner but not worth the headache sometimes. Haven't gotten one for my 21' 1500 because of that reason.
I recently jump-started my 2019 RAM 1500 because the battery died (in the middle of summer - that's a first. Even after installing a new 7/23 dated Interstate battery, it still had weird lights and when I hooked up a code reader, I still had the P1FD3 transmission code. I reset the fault memory and it solved the problem.
This happened to me about 6 months ago. It’s something all rams do after a jump. You have to just let it sit for about a half hour after it’s been jumped.
That’s good to know. Kind of annoying, but doable. Thanks for watching!
Didn't happen to mine when I jumped it. 2014
let mine sit 24 hours and all lights remained on.
Once battery is changed and all lights are on do this: without starting engine, press start button to run, wait 5 seconds, press to off, wait 10 seconds, do this 3 times, start truck, all lights should go off.
My 2019 Laramie is experiencing the exact issues. I replaced the battery and it now has a random parasitic draw on the batter that is severe enough to drain a completely charged battery in 8 hrs. The alternator checked out fine and the truck has been left at the dealership until they can "catch" the random draw occurring. After 2 weeks, the dealership informed me that they believe the passenger side mirror is causing the issue. I'm hoping they are not just firing the parts cannon at it and hoping this fixes it.
I had the same model and year. It happened to me same issue once 2020 when I was on high way at 100 km/h( The mileage was just 40K km and one year old ) . Then I pulled over and shut the engine. 2 mints later, restarted. issue disappeared truck was running as usual. went to dealer, I could not show the real issue to dealer. no any alarm lights on. I was told the shop computer did not read out any errors. I put approximately 80K kms before the truck written off Aug 28, 2021( was driving on highway). I did call FCA, they were not even interested in listening what happened what observed prior getting fired. simply told me contact my insurance company and my VIN was not on the recall list. then few questions asked FCA, they just repeated to me dealing with insurance company. I am sure the 2019 RAM limited with 5.7L e torch still not on the fire recall list. short google found only diesel models on the list. We were lucky me and passengers had the time to get off the truck. It took about 5 mints from I pulled the truck to the shoulder to completely covered by flame. fire fighters came, the fire almost done.
That is weird bro. Been with the Mopar brand for 11yrs myself and I have seen some unexplainable things throughout the years but never experienced this.
You may want to test your alternator as well.
Had this happen a couple years ago, all the lights on the dash, no electric steering, along with other stuff plus I couldn't shut the truck off. Disconnected the battery and let it sit for 10 minutes then hooked it all up again and it's been fine since.
Older trucks used to give you a warning for a low battery, you had a month or two to change the battery,’
These new trucks give no warning, it just dies out and all this electronics really suck..
That same exact thing happened to me. The remote start didn’t work, then it would not shift out of 1 gear the transfer case light that shows what drive mode it is in was off. Got the same errors about the trailer brake and stability control. Took it to the dealer the next day it had a trouble code for a low battery. They charged it said it all looked good. I still had trouble with the remote start. Put my charger on it got it back to 100%. The next day I took it to autozone they tested it at 46% but said the battery tested good, it just needed charged. I had them put in anew battery. It has been fine ever sense. 2019 Ram 1500 Larime.
I had same issue. Google search told me while driving when shift needed shift into neutral then back into drive. You will have to do this every shift up and down. I was able to make it the 50 miles to nearest auto parts store to get new battery. No issues after new battery
Thanks for posting this. Own a 2020 Longhorn and will keep this in mind with my truck even though I don’t have nearly the miles or drive as much as you do. I’m wondering if it’s due to the high mileage in a short period of time. I’m also curious on a personal level if you have family that lives in Pittsburgh PA? From time to time I deliver to a building on a certain route to a fellow who has the same last name and bares a remarkable resemblance to you !
Happy to help. Hope you never need to deal with it. Unfortunately, I have no family (that I know of) from the PA area. I do love Pittsburgh, though! (:
My wife thinks my 2019 RAM 1500 is possessed. I went to get in the truck yesterday and nothing responded to the remote. New battery last May. I used the key to open the door and the alarm goes off. So I pulled the negative lead off the battery . I go in the house to see if I have a remote battery, and I do not. I pull the battery from the remote clean it and put it back in. I put the lead back on the battery, get in the truck and it starts. From inside I shut it off, use remote start it it locks the doors and starts. I operate the locks with the remote. So I figure it is good. I run to the store and back no problem. This morning same issue except the remote operates the locks, but the truck does not start, or go into accessories mode.
I wonder if it has to do with the power steering being electric and such things for safety. So your not on the highway and lose power ? 🤷🏼♂️
My 2019 limited has some electrical issues...the dealership has not figured it out yet. Very disappointing, I was planning on going to the Masters TODAY, LA to Augusta. Not going to happen now. I can only thank God I wasn't in the middle of nowhere when this happened. I've owned chevys my whole life, this rig looked and drove great so I made the switch. Not happy...
Yep, low voltage,bad battery,goes into limp mode. My battery went. Same thing. Replaced battery and back to normal.
Yes same here, after the battery was replaced everything went back to normal. Also your camera may even go blank for awhile but will reboot after awhile. I feel Ram should fix this issue can’t see how this helps in any way
I did not have this issue with my laramie 2019 1500 but when my battery died I did get a check engine light up. It was a communication error to Trans and engine but cleared it because of the battery being dead. You're at 130k almost like damn, im at 91k
Mine didn’t do all that although I think eventually it would have. I started the car, slow crank and eventually no crank. I replaced battery, everything started fine no issues what so ever. Went to autozone to turn in old battery and when I started it back up, old settings came back on the screen (first start with the new batt it looked like it went to factory settings, different color etc) and voltage went to 11.9 (normal 14) disconnected battery and waited an hour same thing. So hopefully letting it sit 24 hours will work… all the forums are saying the same.
Same truck and recently went through this, but my limp mode was different. I could not accelerate. I think it was shifting. Battery needed to be replaced but they also found where I had animals chewing on the wiring.
Nope. Never has. Just have a message saying right rear blinker isn't working, but it is. Right mirror hyper flashes
Well my truck is in the shop for the exact same thing. My Ram dealer said that they have never seen this before. After an hour of them clearing th 34 low voltage trouble codes that the low battery caused, they determined that my screen back light "must have some how stayed on" and thats what drained my battery. They are still working on the truck no answers yet on why that happened.
Anytime u get a new or used vehicle, buy a interstate battery. Get rid of the factory
I had this problem driving back from the dealer 😮 I flipped into neutral then back into drive while in traffic and it disappeared. Never happened again
It might be the ABS causing all the problems might be just ABS wiring had same issue with brand new Semi truck had adaptive cruise control and all
Happened to me at 65k on my 2019 limited, they replaced the battery. But I had to drive it to the dealership for an hour because I couldnt go any faster without pushing rev.
All mopars are very voltage sensative, yes they will do all kinda strange things when the battery starts to go. you can check voltage in the EVIC. Charging voltage when running and battery voltage when ignition on only.
My 2021 ram 1500 big horn .has done the same thing taking a 450 mile trip.stopped at a dealership. No codes.cant help u.went to my dealership when I got bk home.no codes unbelievable
Test drove a ram and absolutely loved it. But reliability scares the shit out of me. Probably going tundra or 150 because of that and the depreciation rating
I like tundras and f150s, but after driving both, the Ram just felt better. I’ve always had a good experience with Ram reliability. And I knew whatever I picked was going to depreciate quickly. Those new tundras look realll good though.
Make sense that the high rpms and safety features locked in remember you have a generator in the truck now so it’s not your standard alternator big difference more power and more current that needs consistent flow so as a fail safe the high rpm’s will create the electric current needed to maintain the consistent power needed to create a charge until battery change your warning signs are the same as the old school check for a dead alternator in this case just the dead battery
Had the same issue on my charger… I drained my battery by leaving my obd reader plugged in. Had to get a new battery because it struggled.
I have a 98 1500 and if the battery dies the throttle position sensor wouldn't work right until the battery was fully charged. And I'm regretting buying my 2021 ram 1500 now
Disconnect the negative battery pole and leave it off for a short while, start with 1 min or so, then reconnect it. It had to do this on my Challenger HC.
Must be a common thing, a new battery fixed the issue with mine. Now I’ve got battery indicator light every cool morning a year later.
Mine did the same thing today, in the shop now. 2019 Ram Limited, time to get rid of it.
What did dealer do? I have a 2020 ram 1500 Laramie and went to leave the house and the battery was dead. Luckily, I have a jump starter box that I bought on Black Friday. Started right up but check engine light is on. Taking it to the dealer tomorrow. It’s not even three years old and it only has 17,000 miles.
Mine did this I have a 2019 Ram. If it does it again rotate your selector to Neutral and turn it back to drive it will shift gears to a higher gear lol it works to get you home faster than 20mph
These are the things that scare me about a ram truck. I almost bought one because I live the interior. I wound up buying a tundra which I don't regret. I didn't buy the ram rebel to the way they treated me at the dealer. In the future I'm planning on buying a ram truck or a Ford f 150
that tuner would be my first guess
My 19 Ram flaked out too. I moved it and shut it down for 5 min to load it. It would not start and was down to 9.2V
I got started from a jump pack but then had the codes and limp mode shown here. I put in a new battery.
Love these videos , I want a blazer video
It happened to my2019 ram 1500. Luckily I still had warranty on my battery, the Chrysler dealership changed it.The codes won’t clear unless you buy the Ram battery from Chrysler. Bummer.
I’ve had this happen to my 2019 Dodge Ram Limited and it’s aggravating. The dealership said nothing is wrong with the battery or computer and even after they cleared the errors, all of my warning lights are on.
did you find a solution?
I've been this same issue since I first purchased my 2019 1500 ram laramie back in 2018. It happens every so often, and it happens randomly and happens out of nowhere while I'm driving. I have to pull over and stop, turn off the engine, and restart it, and then everything goes back to normal. It has almost caused a collision many times and has caused me delays in my life. I've had my 2019 Ram 1500 laramie almost 4 years, and it has been with this issue, due to the Columbus. Ohio chrysler dealership not knowing what's wrong. They keeps my vehicle several times for several weeks and still diagnosed it as nothing is wrong! It's been a roller coaster! If you find out what this issue is, please let me know. I first experienced this a few months after getting my Ram.
Try replacing your battery, even if it passes tests. A lot of these problems seem to be traced to voltage dropping below a certain threshold temporarily. A new battery is less likely to have voltage fluctuate as abruptly… which seems to make the truck happy
Thank you! very much!
Man that sucks that happened probably because lots of these newer car with all the technology and stuff can cause that to happen sometimes I don’t know hope that doesn’t happen again
Just happened to me. I made it home turned my truck off for 5 to 10 minutes. When I turned my truck on, and shifted gears, it worked as normal. So strange.
New jump packs are definitely more usable. Far more compact and hold a charge much longer even in the cold. Glad it was an easy fix on the Ram, despite being annoying lol
Thank you sir! I was just happy I was close to home and it was an easy fix.
Had mine a year when same thing happened, had to be towed to dealer bc it was under warranty. And just so happened, 2 1/2 years later, had to change battery again, out of warranty so went to O'rielly. Too many bells & whistles
@@devinbourgeois6560 Damn. You guys have bad luck. Maybe I got lucky or got a better battery with the cold weather package but mine was strong through 3 full years including 3 cold winters.
I only had shifting not working because of solenoid relay going down on 3th gen at like 145k, ended up unplugging it and put new one in my self
After the new battery everything should be fine,happened to me also the camera was out for awhile but finally rebooted. It’s definitely a hindrance when battery gets weak too many electrical components anymore, but man there nice when needed.
Yes..I am a GM fan an love to see a Blazer Vid...thank you
That will be coming up soon! (There will be a couple S-10s in the video too)
@TruckCentral that white one that was in this vid??
I have the same problem just the difference is I have the check engine light on ,how can I fix or I need to bring in to the dealership
This just happened to me. I will attempt to charge the battery back up and see if that fixes the problem without having to buy a new battery. I am sure I left the ignition on while waiting for my food at McDonald’s. 45 mins wait will do it to you.
My dodge wouldn't start, I youtubed it and it said dodge out a crap battery in the 2019, then called the dodge dealership. He said you need a new battery , I said, but that battery is only 3 yrs old. I put a new battery in and everything seems ok now. It had all kinds of lights on too... Then I drove it home, turned it off and came back later and started it and all was good.
Limp mode in the transmission it usually takes 20 mins of the truck being off to rest it
have you had the issue with the power folding mirrors clicking loudly during the fold in/out process? seems to be pretty common on the higher trims.
I’ve got a loud click a couple times, but it’s only been when the mirrors were folding in against some resistance. Other than that, they sound the same as they did when it was new.
Im currently going through this issue with my limited. When I put them in and put them back out my driver side mirror stays stuck and keeps clicking for a min until it goes into position
YES!!!! Now it's super loose. It's a plastic gear that's broken. Should be a recall but it's not and I'm not paying $700 plus to replace the entire unit.
Sounds like a 2013 newer problem, since that's when they went to 100% electric trans.
You said thank god you weren't 600 miles from home? Why not just go get a battery and be done with it no big deal?
Is there a follow up video for this issue ? I am having the exact same issue right now. Makes me think it’s a truck issue and not the battery ?
