I have a 2019 Ram Bighorn, I didn't drive it for 2 days, on third day went to start it, and it would not start it was dead. I tried to use the key Phob to start it still nothing. I called AAA to see if they could jump start it, it would not jump start either, the next day a had it towed to the dealership that was on Saturday, on Monday when they finally got a chance to check it of course it started right up, they checked the battery the battery was fine, it also didn't show any error codes, has anyone else had this issue? If not do anyone have any ideas of what the issue was?

Is it the original battery? How did they test the battery?

It’s also work noting if there’s a large amount of RF interference, it won’t work either. Probably not the case though.

Oh ok thanks for the info, I am going to pick it up tomorrow from the dealership I hope it doesn't happen again. I might also go ahead and replace the battery in the key fob.

Maybe a terminal connector was corroded or loose?

electrical issue? wiring loose? I'd carry a battery booster in the truck just in case if I were you.
