Hello guys, new in the forum, was wondering if someone has experienced the following:
I was walking from the back of the truck (2020 RAM 1500 Bighorn/Hemi), I've unlocked it, and started to hear a noise from the back as I was opening the driver door. Went there and I've heard/saw the tailgate opening, close it , did it again, and again.
Inside the cabin, right below the steering wheel there is a plastic cover w/ two bolts, while the tailgate actuator sounds and keeps working uncontrollably in the rear , a tick-tick noise comes from behind that cover as well (in rhythmic fashion w/ the actuator).
The dash continues to show on/off : " unlock tailgate to open". If I drive, the dash minimizes the MPH to its top, and the center stage is occupied by the " unlock .....to open".
If I lock the truck completely and only hit the unlock once (for the driver door), the rest (including the tailgate remains locked, but the dash warning continues there.
I turned of the vehicle and all lights, locked the truck, and went home.
Next day : truck completely OUT , no power whatsoever. When I' ve opened the driver side door, slight electric burning smell is noted.
Obviously there is a short/ electric x somewhere, with some sort of parasitic consumption as well.
Went to the dealer (I have MOPAR warranty), two days there, that told me they found the issue the second day as : connector XY400A ( at BCM), they found it to be bent and signs of corrosion, cleanse them, dialectic greased it and reconnect.
$ 108.38 deductible, driving home, same problem again.
Of course they told me previously to "fix it", that if problems persist , each time I ' ll bring the truck there, ANOTHER DEDUCTIBLE WILL BE CHARGED...., even though they didn't fix the problem to start with.....
Has anyone have had a problem like this?, and if so, what was the issue?
Please any help is appreciated.
