Anyone have any advice as to whats going on with my 2020 Ram 1500?

[Rylz]

Hey guys, Im looking for advice as to whats happening with my truck. Ive got a 2020 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi.

When I go to turn my truck on, It turns on but Im getting a bunch of warnings. First one to pop up is AutoPark Disabled, then Service Shifter, Service airbag system and service power steering. It will continue beeping and shuffling through those warnings. Check engine light is on and when I try to put the truck into gear, it automatically brings it back to Park.
I drove without a problem 2 days ago and now all of a sudden this is happening.

Anyone that can help with any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

Have your battery checked.

If original battery start there and upgrade with a AGM H8. They seem to only last 3 years.

X3 on checking the battery. My original battery went bad at 3 months and change, and it threw many warning messages with different systems on the truck kind of like you are describing. Those systems are the first to go as voltage drops, and they are sensitive.

If you turn the ignition on the truck and cycle to the battery information. I’d be willing to bet your voltage is 9-11v. Should be around 12, and around 14 when the truck is running.

x4 battery.

Window leak=bad RFHub maybe

X5 BATTERY had a cluster of cel's when my battery went out on me last year

I don’t know if this has been mentioned yet, but it’s probably time to replace your battery.

I think maybe it could be your battery. X7

Original battery only has a 1 yr warranty. For peace of mind avoiding being stranded, I replaced mine shortly after the year, and sold the old one. Totally irreleavant to today's vehicles, but the 1968 Mopars had a FIVE yr warranty pn the battery, I have seen it in old ads.

Apparently a battery going bad is something technology can't inform us of, evan auto zone can't tell when battery is going bad. Battled issues for 3 days decided to just put new battery in and all is right for a week now ..2019 5.7 wouldn't start, lost electronics and would shift out of 1st gear ..all over a 4 year old battery going bad

Yep common issue. Nothing new with these trucks unfortunately.

If you know electronics, and have the tools, you can tell when a battery is starting to go bad, before it fully craps out. The only caveat to hat would be if a cell suddenly dies. If your battery is over 2-3 years olds you are in borrowed time watch the charging voltage on the dash display, check voltage right after shutting the truck off, and again a few hours later. If the charging voltage on dash stays above 14.3 for long drives, it's constsnytrung to charge a battery tht is going bad. If your voltage drop after sitting is more than 1 volt, your battery is going bad. It should maintain almost 13v even sitting for a day. If it's under 12.5 v it's starting to go bad.

Batteries from factory have a 3/36 warranty. I was able to warranty mine at 35k miles.

I'm thinking I have the unicorn battery. Battery is original on my 2019 DT with 140K miles. Knock on wood.

OP...I don't think it has been mentioned yet...it will take several on/off cycles and drives for all the codes to clear once your battery is replaced.

BTW, fun fact: when my battery died I managed to limp it into an OReilly's parking lot. They checked the battery for me (it was bad), but were not allowed to replace it because of the whole 'it will take a few hours to completely reset systems after installing new battery'. I guess some customers had blamed OReilly for this behavior.

At least they let me borrow tools, so I could do it myself.

Well, Karma bit me in the ***. Woke up this morning to a dead battery. I guess I really can’t complain. Sorry for the threadjack.

OP, curious what you ended up doing.
