Hello everyone,
Hoping I've posted this in the right spot.
I'm posting this for a coworker who has been having a major issue with his Ram since October 2022.
The truck has been in and out of the dealership 15 times and counting....
Some of the visits lasting up to 3 weeks.
2 claims with Dodge Canada about this issue.
However, every time the dealership says it's fixed and give the truck back to it's owner, Dodge Canada closes the claim.
They expect my coworker to take it up with the dealership and trade it in at best.
That's too pricey of an option.
The truck is a 2020 1500 sport ( 5th gen ), bought brand new in 2021.
It has all of the bells and whistles and came with a lift and 35's from the dealership.
At 45,000kms is when the issue started and currently has just under 60,000kms.
This is about an electrical issue that keeps on intermittently draining his battery down.
I've scoured posts on this forum and a few others with no hard fix for his issue.
Maybe I've missed something so I'm hoping we can steer my coworker in the right direction.
This seemed to have started when the truck had a water leak from the 3rd brake light.
The brake light was replaced, leak fixed and then shortly after the battery would die.
It was traced to a faulty/wet RF module.
Since then, the battery would die down every other month.
Battery was changed, RF module was changed, USB hub was changed when they found a 6 to 7 amp draw and lastly and most recently, the big screen stereo was changed.
It's currently at the dealership now and has been there for a week.
They still haven't been able to find anything definitive.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you!
