Hey guys, while trying to start my 2020 ram 1500 bighorn I get a flickering dash and clicking noises from the fuse / relay box under the hood.. Metered the battery and it shows 12.72 volts.. Any suggestions?

Put your meter to Min/Max hold.
What does the battery measure under load?
 
Even if your battery tests good under load or anything else, replace it. It's old enough to be bad.

Best under load test is when trying to crank it, this is when the voltage Min/Max hold on the multi-meter comes in handy.
 
Ended up being the battery .. replaced it no issues..when I metered old battery,it appeared good.. A little confused .. Thanks guys Cliff

These batteries expire fast. When mine did the same I upgraded to an Interstate H8 battery.
