Yesterday I drove to town in my new 3500, just under 3K miles, when suddenly the dash lit up with yellow lights and warnings. Basically it told me the ABS system needed attention and was disabled. I was left with the steady orange engine looking light, the truck picture with the squiggly truck and sliding picture, and something else I can't remember. After my first stop and restarting engine, they were all gone but for the orange engine light. It stayed on for the next two stops and I resigned myself to calling the dealer this morning. After one last stop before coming home, started the engine, and that was gone too, and has remained off so far. We will see this morning. I seem to remember something similar on my '21 Ram once or twice.

Check all the fuses/relays under the hood. Also check your battery connections.

So, today I took one of my dogs to the vet. On the way home, a red warning came on, telling me my right rear inner tire was low at 64PSI and to air it to 65PSI. I believe 65 PSI is what's recommended for the rear tires. The two left tires were at 64 and 65 with no warning. Driving home the tire pressure went to 65PSI yet the warning remained. Once home, cut engine off and restarted it. Warning now gone. I have read in other threads here about the fuses not being fully seated, but didn't pay much attention to it, just didn't make sense. I checked the fuse, they were all in, none falling off, but I am guessing 40% were not totally seated! It is hard to believe, but true. Thanks Again, maybe this takes care of it. It makes sense, since these are two totally unrelated warnings.

I have a 2025 2500 with the cummins same problem with dash injector warning front collision light 4 wheel drive not available aed braking not available lights and when the service injector warning comes on it will go into a limp mode for a few seconds. a little dangerous. 1st time at dealers was told needed a computer update that did not work 2nd time at the dealer told it was a stuck brake switch that did not work. no it is setting at the dealership for the 3rd time with no fix. a star claim has been opened and waiting to hear what comes back for a fix.
 
There is a new recall for our trucks
[td]
B4C 2025-2026 D-TRUCK 12" CLUSTER - SOFTWARE
It may address these issues, we will see​
[/td]​

does not look like this recall covers our problem. Covers the dash going blank. Mine has been setting a week now with no fix offered.
 
My wife's new jeep will be ready Friday, so I have scheduled the truck to have the recall done, and I will be sure to bring up the gremlins to their attention. The TPMS Gremlin is still there, but on one tire only lol.
 
picked up truck today. The fix was another reprogramming. Driving home about 7 miles into the trip i stopped at the store. the truck was shut off. when i started the truck the dash lights came on and did not go off. shut off and restarted the truck lights still stayed on. only difference between now and the previous times this happened is no service injector message. The truck is now back at the dealership for the 4th time on the same issue

Damn, that sucks! my TPMS messages went away today with the tire at 64PSI. The warning wanted me to pump it up to 65PSI. I have pictures to show them on Friday
 
I had a weird occurrence. Acted like a dead battery and the truck wouldn't start. The starter would click and then nothing. Also on the second attempt it just stuck with starter and then nothing. This occurred with a jump box installed and on the fourth try it started. Now starts the last three times with no issues other than a now check engine light, which I assume is from the long start without actually starting.

Yesterday we drove to the dealer in Greenville, NC, about 35 miles from home. Dropped the truck off and picked up my wife's new Grand Cherokee. We then drove to a couple of stores for her to do some Christmas shopping, then took her to lunch, and finally Sam's club. Truck still wasn't ready! In all fairness, our service writer, who has always been very good, did not have an open slot but said bring it in anyway and he would work me in. My bride headed home around 2pm, and I didn't leave the dealership until almost 5pm. The recall was done, I read to him your post about resetting the TPMS and he said they were no longer able to do this. The initial fault concerning the ABS system he said was part of the recall. The TPMS system requires a part that has been ordered. He explained to me that the software update they were doing took almost 3 hours, and there was no way to interrupt it without deleting all the codes they wanted to clear. In essence, he was saying to sit and chill until it's done. I was just about to get a loaner from the dealer when they were finished. If this means anything, The invoice shows this: RSU 25-232 24-26MY D@ DRC MAX TOW REAR RIGHT AND LEFT WHEEL S. It then says parts are on order

picked mine up about a week ago. check engine light was on. i had the fuel filter changed while it was in for service. the customer rep had a letter from a star claim that said when they change the filter it traps air and would take about 48hrs to clear and the light should go out. made it home grabbed my dog t o head to the park started the truck it shuck violently shut it off restarted it was fine. went back to dealership told them what had happened they came out when we started it light was out and sounded fine. got about 400 miles on the truck since then lights and messages are coming back on. driving down the road a plastic cover fell out from under the dash. truck goes back in monday for the 5th time. guess its time to start looking for a lemon law lawyer
