So this just happened to me today. I have a 2019 1500 big horn. Your video helped me get it to the shop. I’m hoping it’s just a battery, I’ve allready prepared for the worst.
I'm glad the video helped. I'm also sorry to hear you are having the same issue and hopefully it is only the battery. I wish manufactures would see these issues "Folks who do not drive far day to day having the battery issues because the system can not recharge" and create some time of charging alternative.
I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn. 2 days ago truck wouldn't start had to jump, then the next day I had to jump it. The only lights on were the traction control and service engine light, but they weren't always on at the same time. Had AutoZone check the battery and they were fairly certain I have a bad alternator. Today I had to jump it, but the truck wouldn't shift out of first gear. I didn't know about shifting into N then back to D until I saw your video. I bought the truck used with about 23,000 miles and I purchased an extended warranty and my truck is still covered, but I hope they cover the alternator because they are expensive! Calling the warranty company soon.
Update: I did learn that my Zurich warranty does cover alternators. Drop truck off at mechanic tomorrow and they will run diagnostics to determine if it is actually the alternator, or hopefully at least something that is covered by the warranty...Lol!
@@angelcabrera310 Before I took my truck to the mechanic I decided to have it tested at Advanced Auto. I didn't tell them that I took it to AutoZone and that they said it was likely the alternator. All I said was I just had to jump my truck to get it started. Their testing device(not sure what to call it) was different from what AutoZone used. So anyways, they told me they were able to determine if it was the battery, alternator, and I think they said the starter as well(but I'm not sure on that). So basically they hooked up to my battery, had me start the truck and hold the RPM's between 2000 and 3000 for about 10 seconds or so. They told me the battery was bad. So I bought a battery, they connected it for me and my truck has been working perfectly since then. I got a little bit of money off for a core exchange and if you're a Veteran, you can get an additional discount. I can't say for sure that your truck battery is bad as well, but I hope this helps.
My Ram did the exact thing yesterday going to lunch, bought a new battery, popped it in and problem solved!!! Thanx for the video man for a second I thought I was going to get a new transmission 😅
For a 2019 RAM Limited; I had a situation where the truck wouldn't shift. I did not have a battery problem. I started up and left my home; drove less than a 1/4 mile and came to a stop at a light. Light turned green and I made a U-turn and just like that it would not shift out of 1st. So I pulled to the shoulder, came to a full stop, shifted to park and then back to drive and continued on my way and the truck drove normally and shifted properly. Has not happened since and don't know what caused that.
My 2019 Ram also having shifting issues. Really hard clunking shifts from 1st to 2nd. Doesn’t happen all the time, intermittent issue. Usually from cold starts and first driving. Once warmed up and driving a few miles seems to shift ok. Only driving after a cold start the transmission shifts badly from 1st to 2nd with loud clunking noise and jerks hard when it shifts… It’s a 2019 Ram with only 29k miles.
Just happened to me yesterday. Had to quick jump start it but then had the shifting problem. Disconnected battery and transmission reset and fixed issue. Clue was no indicator on 2WD/4WD and weird service messages. I will replace my battery because it happened back in June, battery tested fine and cleaned corrosion off terminals drove it every day no problem till this trip to OK.
Dealer replaced the battery as it was covered under warranty. The dealer cleared all codes after the replacement. If your cluster still looks like an Xmas tree just go to a ram dealer and ask them to clear the codes.
Is this the battery in the engine compartment or the one behind the rear seat? Is this the 5.7 hemi with the motor generator? I had to have my MG replaced the bearing failed. Waited 2.5 months to get it replaced. Fortunately it was warranty work. Truck has 40k miles.
I had the same problem. Yes the battery suddenly goes dead, but whats causing the battery to die? My 2017 Challenger which had the original battery and the car is driven maybe once every 2 weeks, and the battery was still going strong. I replaced it just to be sure. My 2021 Ram 1500 limited is a daily driver yet the battery went dead with 20k. Dealer put in another battery and said that battery was bad so they put in another one. Something is causing these batterys to die way before their time.
Same issue for me since new on my 21 Longhorn. Currently back at dealer for the last straight month. They replaced the battery due to low state of charge, but sadly codes showed back up a day later. No solution yet.
I think it is bs. My brother has a 2022 Limited and he had the same issue. Truck sat at the dealer for almost a month because they were having trouble getting a new rear battery.
I just experienced this yesterday, replaced the battery but the U1267 Code is still showing and my backup camera is not even an option on my 12 in screen 😢
Same kind of issue truck threw all kind of errors and instrument cluster lights then ignition stuck in run without starting. Triedd to jump and couldnt turn it off and it smoked the cables. Towed to Rythm Ram in Nashville and they said dead battery charged it up $126.00 and good to go. 2 days later same thing another tow and $400.00 at Beaman Ram and theytell me it is bad battery WTH
From what I understand with the battery in our trucks is it take 10 tries from the service group to find out it has a dead cell. The worst thing the dealer can do is try to charge it. Mine at the time was covered under warranty so I immediately said to place a new one in.
After testing the battery multiple times the dealer found a dead cell. Had to replace the battery. Now I ensure I take a scenic trip every month to prolong the health of the new battery
@@jonwoods1981 I decided to go to another auto parts store(Advanced Auto) to get my battery/truck tested. I didn't say anything to them about what was going on and that I had went to AutoZone two days prior. I told them I had to jump my truck to get it started. Basically they hooked up to the battery and had me hold the rpm's steady between 2000 and 3000(AutoZone didn't have me do that). Their testing equipment was different. They told me for sure it was the battery and not the alternator, because they were able to test both. I'm not sure if I made a mistake but my truck is running great with the new battery this evening. I was in a bit of a pickle and had to make a decision.

Well damn I just got a new transmission and my truck is doing the same thing still 🤦🏾♂️ I have a 2019 bighorn with 183k
@@Vhustle92any specific thing that cause the trans to go out on you and did it go out at the 180k mile range?

I just got a recall notice, I wonder if they will finally resolve this issue for us
What’s the recall state?
I have the 2019 Dodge Ram Limited Edition Longhorn. My truck is definitely doing the same thing to me!!!
Get that battery replaced. My brother is now going through the same issue on his 2022 Limited
Replacing the battery cleared the sensor faults? Replaced battery but still have ABS, Front sensor, engine and stability faults lights on.
Dealer replaced the battery as it was covered under warranty. The dealer cleared all codes after the replacement. If your cluster still looks like an Xmas tree just go to a ram dealer and ask them to clear the codes.
What is it with these vehicles and dead batteries?
Is this the battery in the engine compartment or the one behind the rear seat? Is this the 5.7 hemi with the motor generator? I had to have my MG replaced the bearing failed. Waited 2.5 months to get it replaced. Fortunately it was warranty work. Truck has 40k miles.
Main battery in the engine bay.This truck also has the e-torque system.

100% but good luck trying to get a solid answer from them.
@@jonwoods1981right I’m having this same problem right now I never heard of a battery causing a truck to not switch out of 1st gear

So how did you fix the issue with the shifting? Mine just started doing that.
Had the dealer replace the battery. It was covered under warranty
Mine just expired but im glad its only the battery then. I thought it was the transmission. Thanks.
So after changing the battery you haven't had no shifting issues ???
Ever figure anything out? I disconnected my battery everything is back to normals besides cel and service stability control
After testing the battery multiple times the dealer found a dead cell. Had to replace the battery. Now I ensure I take a scenic trip every month to prolong the health of the new battery
Disconnect the ground for 30 seconds as car is idling from a jump start and then it will shift
This just happened to me this morning
Had the same issue, replaced the battery.
What did you do to fix it?
@@tonycoleman7450 I replaced the damn battery.
@@themonsalves8399 😂😂
TO EVERYONE THAT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. Is it the battery or the alternator?????
It’s a crap shoot. I believe most folks including myself experienced dead cells in the battery while some others had it be the alternator

Holy man. That sucks.
? for all you with dead batteries, how old was your battery when it died.
Mine had 13k miles on it.
@jonwoods1981 actually I'm asking years or months
@@ammogiant824 2 years
@jonwoods1981 Yeah, that's about one year too soon.
just get to the side and turn off your truck then start it again it should work ok.
It’s not your battery or alternator. My fuse panel was fkin melted. Dodge doesn’t know their own vehicles and it’s a shame. Time to get rid of it
So it wasn't your alternator
In my case it was a dead cell in the battery.
Take it and get it fixed instead of crying about it
I don’t think anyone was crying. I’ll leave your comment alone though. It’s ok… he can’t hurt you anymore.
what exactly did they replace?
Just the engine battery.
