Auto stop/start

[RamBamJam]

I know this might sound bad but before I take my truck to dealership, I want everything that can go bad to happen before I take it. Now, several weeks ago, my auto stop/start function working.... At first I thought well my A/C might be on a high setting but after driving my truck several weeks, the auto stop/start function has stop working completely. I tried driving for awhile and fulling stopping at lights and intersection without my a/c or any HVAC activated. Granted I don’t truly care for it and 9/10 I shut the damn thing off but now for it not to work concerns me.

I hope this is not an indication of future mechanical or electrical problems to come. Anyone else had had this problem?

If you drive around with Tow/Haul mode ON, Stop/Start is disabled.
Haven't tested to see if traction control settings affect Stop/Start.

I’m not sure of the setup for auto start/stop for Ram, but in a Jeep I heard there’s an auxiliary battery which can go bad. My wife has a ‘19 Jeep Cherokee with auto stop/start which I absolutely loathe. Oh it stops on hers, but I was googling about it and thought I remember reading that across my research of the system.

Not saying that’s the issue, but could be somewhere in that system and not necessarily a terrible electric gremlin. I thank God my Ram doesn’t have it.
