Found it. Was the main trailer fuse, F01.

Not sure if I'll have much luck here, as most of you are in the US, though still worth a try. I drive a 2019 RAM 1500 DT Laramie, which I originally bought new in Belgium. That means it has been converted for the EU, which relates mostly to converting the lights. Recently, someone pointed out...

Same thing happened to me. Replaced the battery, and life is perfect again.

There's another thread about this: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/2019-ram-1500-big-horn-tailgate-won%E2%80%99t-open.5222/ Generally: Some white grease on the latches may help Also, it wont open when something is pushing against it from the inside The trick to open it in this case is...

Excellent write-up with pictures! Thanks! Honestly, I'm a bit underwhelmed by the additional light this brings, so indeed, I guess changing the position of the led bar might help with this. Would be very interested in some more pictures after you made any changes. It's great to see though, as...

Wouldn’t that be something for white grease?

WD40 white grease I hope, not the standard WD40? That’s only meant to loosen things up, not really a proper lubricant.

There’s some more posts about these on the forum. People complain about the short time the batteries last and the fact that they get ‘out of sync’

Have you tried lifting it upwards and pushing it away from you a bit while pressing the push-button? That should normally do it. Can there be something in the bed pushing against the tailgate? That’s a quite common cause.

This time one with the truck. This is our Fergus tailgating on his trip through Scotland 🤎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I had this last Friday , when my battery was empty after being parked for a day at the office. The assistance guy coming to help me had done a ‘reset’ to make it start again. At first instance, everything worked again after using the booster starter, except for acc/ignition. After the reset...

Honestly, I thought at first that with the white grease it was better, but was only for a very short while. I still need to push the tailgate a bit upwards if I want it to open. I'll have it checked at the dealership next Friday.

40,000 miles, no major issues. Tailgate had some trouble opening, but I think I resolved that with some white grease. Other than that, just the regular oil and filter changes. No issues yet.

I do recognise that pushing while pressing the button or handle helps for me as well. And indeed, when I have something in the bed pushing against the tailgate, it will be very difficult to open. ordered some wd40 white grease and will try to adjust the latches as well, when the weather permits 😊
