This is my 6th Ram Vehicle Purchase Not The Best....

[Hammermawl]

I picked up a brand new 2025 Ram 3500 Larimee Mega Cab 2 weeks ago in Louisiana there was a message on the screen "Warning Light Illumination Unavailable". I let my saleswoman know she went and asked a tech and said it needs a software update? I left midafternoon for Houston and on my drive to Texas that day I lost the instrument panel briefly at 98 miles and then the 14" screen went dead. Both eventually came back and then really no issues that day. Next day door does not unlock when I touch the handle, I figured maybe it was a low battery in the key fob. Anyway, the key fob opened the truck. This continued to happen for the next two weeks. The "Warning Light Illumination Unavailable" happened a couple more times but not in a week. This morning, I go out to start my truck, and it is stone dead. I can't even open the door. I had to pull the key out of the FOB. I have no power door locks, no power windows, the truck does nothing. It is totally dead. HELP

I won't touch it is going to the dealer! This is a warranty issue.

I’ve seen a few people with electrical issues with the 25’s. All new electrical architecture. Definitely let the dealership handle it. Here’s a good thread for you to read.

After months of waiting and anticipation, I finally picked up my brand new 2025 Ram 3500 DRW truck on Wednesday. I had driven up from the Florida Keys where we are currently staying to New Hampshire where my dealer is located to take delivery. The next day I was driving it back down to the Keys and around the 500 mile mark I started getting a lot of warnings and errors on the dash display. ABS light, stability control light, collision sensor lights, and cruise control light came on as well as messages saying to service these items and that Four Wheel Drive is temporarily unavailable...

I can't even use the Ram Connect for roadside assistance!

If you’re taking it to the dealer for warranty purposes, why ask us?

 

[Hammermawl]

Check the grounds.

Thanks bro, I definitely would if it wasn't 2 weeks old! You know how the dealers get...!

Silly me. I thought when someone puts 'HELP' in their post, they wanted.....help.

How times have changed. Carry on.

Thanks bro, help in the WTF sense not the liberal sense!

First welcome to the forum. Second, sorry about your truck! I have a 2021 and a 2024 both 2500 CDs. So far no electrical gremlins. That’s very frustrating, I have seen people say to just push down on all the fuses and relays as they can be installed improperly and need to be seated.

I hope it works out for you. I love mine, they are beautiful trucks!
