At a dealer today to test drive a Pre-owned 2020 Limited 1500. I get there and they have it started but the salesmen says because of the cold snap the battery was dead and he had to jump start it. OK, that's fine, it was running and we got in. He told me we could not test drive because all the auxilliary power items like backup camera and when he when to shift the car died, he claims it was the "second battery" that is under the back seat of the RAM. So I lifted up the back seat and said where is that, can I see it? He claimed not, it is not an owner serviceable item and when he has seen it is is under the seat and carpet and pointed to somewhere beneath the truck.....I call BS! on that. This is not a Diesel and I cannot find anywhere that says there is a second battery on a Gas RAM 1500. Is there? What is he talking about? I finally asked him, what type of battery is is and what is the part #, he said he will get back to me. I noticed the tailate would go down with the remote but then I showed him when trying to open the tailgate manually it would not go down. He tried and said, yep, same problem, probably that second battery being dead..... huh?
Anyone want to tell me what is he talking about or is he just blowing smoke? Maybe he does not want to sell this truck or he is covering for not knowing what he is talking about. He should of said I don't know I will have the service tech look at it and get back to you.
Any thoughts?
