Wont start

[dion]

The problem I'm having is we had brake issues and pulled over to check. The front brake was leaking fluid, upon filling the brake reservoir with fluid the truck wouldnt start.. a tow recovery truck came to our aid for a tow. The gentleman after seeing our situation used the key fob and did something so it would start. We got on our way for repairs, after the fluid ran out again we had it repaired but it wouldn't start again?. What did the guy do to help us get it started?. This was out of state and he is not reachable?
I have a 2020 dodge 5500 heavy duty with a 6.7 cummins.

your FOB may be low on batteries. Try pushing the start button with the FOB or leaving it near the start button for a few seconds before pressing it with the FOB. My 2020 has done that and i had to replace the FOB battery.

I figured it out myself.. maybe that guy used the fob but i was able to use the ignition button. To on.. step on the brake twice, slowly put the accelerator to thr floor and there you have it. Now time to scan and see What's going on. Thanks for the reply.

That procedure for re-setting the service indicator shouldn’t have any impact on the truck starting or not.

Seems odd.
