2020 Ram Won't Start

[007harley]

Tried to start my 2020 Ram 1500 yesterday and nothing. It wouldn't crank, no instrument lights, the key fbo not working, etc. The icon on the instrument panel "press brake and push to start" lights up but nothing else. The battery is fine (jump starting didn't work). Interior lights and headlights work. I've checked all the fuses and they are fine. Has anyone else had this problem?

Check the RF hub. Is your rear window leaking water or have any dampness in you headliner?

Had the same problem 2 months back. First the dealer said it was the push button start, it was fixed after changing the RF Hub. Luckily I had the extended warranty.

Had the same problem with my Rice Krispies just now. I distinctly heard snap, crackle, f**k him! Then complete silence. Lucky I had a box of Lucky Charms and all was well.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Glad it got worked out. Nothing more annoying. I'm battling water between ny passenger door Sill and in floor storage bin. Right on that little strip of carpet. I get a good 8 oz of water after a heavy rain. My hub seems to be nice and dry though so I'm not sure where it's coming in.

Still trying to find it.

Thanks for your reply:

I had the extended warranty but found out I didn't need to use it. When the dealer called me and said there was a leak around the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) that eroded the RF Hub, I did some research and found this letter:
This letter is to inform you that the warranty period on your vehicle’s Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) has been extended to 10 years/ 150,000 miles. This warranty extension on the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) applies to select 2019 - 2021 RAM 1500 Pickup vehicles. Our records show that you either own or lease one of the vehicles affected by this warranty extension. We are extending the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) warranty period because some of
the affected vehicles within the above referenced population may experience water on the headliner, water at the back of the cab or a leak from the third brake/cargo light/CHMSL.
