2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

[Zztopman]

I switched my fuse over today to make the 12V power outlet on top of the Uconnect (i.e. on the dash) turn on and off with the truck instead of being always on.

It was a huge pain to figure out which fuse needed to be moved. I swear it is not in the location that the owner's manual shows (in its super crappy stick figure drawing).

This is in my '25 1500 Limited.

If you're looking to do the same:

- remove two screws at the bottom of the dash that hold the big panel below the steering wheel. You will need a 7mm socket.

- pull the panel off. It has clips holding it even after you remove the screws, so don't be surprised by some resistance.

- the interior fuse panel (versus the engine compartment fuse panel) is up under the steering column - making it a literal pain in the neck to get at.

- the fuse is F54 and needs to be moved 1/2 a space to the right, from F54A to F54B.

I had to stick my phone up in there and take a picture to be able to read the lightly printed/molded labels on the fuse panel in order to figure out which one was F54.

In the attached picture, it is the yellow 20A fuse that is closest to the lower right corner. As shown, it is in the A (always on) position. I pulled it out and moved it over a half space to the right, to the B (keyed on) position.

If you zoom in, you can make out where the panel itself says "A F54 B".

Now, my radar detector turns on and off with the truck, so I don't have to remember to unplug it.

I've been wanting to know this since I got the truck.... THANKS

I sure HOPE this is the same as in my 2022

UPDATE: found it in my Manual

I had already posted this as a separate thread, but perhaps it should have been posted to this one. Any input would be much appreciated. I've since put probably 250 miles on the truck with no further problems.

New member here. Recently bought a new 25 limited specifically for towing a small travel trailer. While leaving hotel to pick up the new trailer, started truck cold in morning and had check engine light while idle was fluctuating and running rough. Drove .5 mile, then flashing check engine light came on, and became undriveable. Had towed to nearest dealer, and they found multiple misfire codes (write up says misfire to p0016-00 crankshaft/camshaft timing bank 1 sensor one and b0300 multiple cylinder, DTC card present p0301,2,3,4,5,6 present store codes). Dealer says they were told to erase all codes and test drive for 15 miles. Drove normally, and no codes returned. They also checked spark plug and crank and cam sensor connections, all fine. I cancelled the trailer pickup due to not wanting to risk a roadside problem with truck and trailer combo far from home. Truck drove nearly 100 miles home normally of course. Dealer told me that if recurs with flashing check engine light, could require engine tear down. This seems illogical to me, as it seems like more of a sensor related problem. Any insight from you folks would be appreciated. We're wanting to do some long trips with the new RV, but the idea of being stranded 1000 miles away from home on the side of the road with a trailer attached and vacation plans ruined by a major engine problem is not appealing. How concerned should I be at this point? Is this a very unusual occurrence? Suggestions on next steps...aside from driving it more to see if it recurs. Thank you.

Check the TSBs could just need a PCM update

Quick follow up with my busted screen. Huge shoutout to @AnthonyRI and Joe at Mark Dodge for the assist. Joe called his local Warranty guy in Louisiana and got him to contact the warranty guy here in Vegas and told him to replace my screen with a new one instead of waiting perpetually for a refurbished screen. Just like that, the screen is on order and it’s scheduled to get fixed next week. My local dealer wasn’t willing to ask the local warranty guy to make an exception because they’ve been burned twice before. I’ve been waiting since end of April for this stupid thing to get fixed and it finally is. Hallelujah!

Finally! Congrats!
