2019 Ram Big Problems After Disconnecting The Battery

[@adamdye3563]

Get to the point. Good gracious. 11.5 min video just to say let it sit it will reset itself. FFS.

Adam Dye you will watch it all oh yes you will watch lol

Exactly 🤣😂😅

[@1234tellmewhatyourlookingfor]

Really it fixes its self? The sirius over the air up date completly screwed up my screen works sometimes the goes black. The radio acts like its possesed by a 5 year old, and it locks me out while it has connect to bluetooth? Try it it will not connect or let you do anything. Mine is a 2018 Sport with a nice inteior leather, nav. All the good stuff but you hardly get to use camera or anything else to do with screen I have contacted u conbect a dozen times. Im sorry there are no updates to down load. But sirius they want you to suscribe to this mess.

Just experienced this same issue on my 2020 Ram 1500 Limited when I disconnected my negative terminal. Just like everyone else, I was freaking out. Would have never guess letting the vehicle sit over night would have corrected the issue. It works. Thanks for the posting the information. Even after 1 1/2 years it is still very beneficial.

I had the same issue with a 2019 RAM 1500. When I contacted Uconnect customer service, they mention that it is normal and that it takes 3 - 5 ignition cycles or a specific amount of time for the Uconnect to use the cellular radio to obtain the update needed to get the truck settings back. FYI for future viewers.

[@RoadReality]

LOL, I just found your video - because the same thing happened to me recently! I went out to drive my truck and heard a click and a speaker pop and ... nothing. Battery was so dead that the electronics stopped about 1 minute later. No door locks, no power running boards, nothing on the dash. Dead. Jumped it after connecting to my wife's car and waiting 5-10 minutes, got it to the dealer: bad battery. Went to leave, no backup camera, no heated/cooled seat controls, like WTF? They used a wireless remote connection to reset the system, but it's good to know that you can just wait it out and it'll fix - thanks! That's an extra bit of "peace of mind". Drive safe & stay healthy!

Thanks. Same thing happened to me. It updated over night. All the settings and controls came back. You shaved off a lot of anxiety for me. Lol

I have the exact same issue after an unfortunate dead battery due to a radio being left on....Just jump started it and discovered all these things---are GONE. I did a number of shutdowns and restarts and still nothing....I'm currently letting it sit for a few hours to see if they all come back :-( Will update.... {UPDATE- 1 hour later....) After leaving the truck sit for exactly 1 hour and 15 minutes.....I started her up- and BOOM!- EVERYTHING is back, settings included- just how I had them! Thanks so much for posting this Steve! I am absolutely delighted not to have to go to the dealership on this!!!!! :-)

It’s a helpful video from 8-9 minutes. I appreciate the knowledge non the less.

I have a '17 ram and replaced the radio with a newer version. All you have to do is turn on the key and let the radio start up and then shut the key off for 10 to 20 minutes and they usually will reset to all your options. there is also a key combo you can you when is gets messed up that does a factory reset and then turn it on, then back off for 10 to 20 minutes and it will reload your options. scared me the first time but did some research and it seem to be how they are set up.

gr8 vids---- I have had this problem on a couple of different costumers units. In both times the battery had ran down a bit before the ground cable { and I emphasize ground} was removed. When work was done the ground hooked up and all seemed OK. Next day the customer came back complaining some of the BCM controlled items were not working. We disconnected the ground and charged the battery to full 12volts , load tested it and reinstalled the ground . Started the vehicle , let it run for a half hour or so and everything was good. We believe to make sure the battery is fully charged before hooking the ground

Good to know it will fix itself. I was about to disconnect the battery to try and reset the ecu cuz I was having issues after installing FyreFly LED interior lights. I ended up uninstalling them and bought some Diode Dynamics and have not had problems ever since. I've read some horror story where someone disconnected the battery and activated the theft alarm and locked them out from using the vehicle!

AS I was I saying every thing on my truck works but when I took the truck to get a smog check it was rejected because when the dealer replaced the defective battery they did not reset the computer. called the dealer they said I could drive the truck about 30 miles at 60mph four times and it would rest it self or pay them $175.00 to hook it up to there computer and they could wind the miles on it that way. SO I drove the truck. then had it tested rejected again.the guy at the test booth said need to run the truck 50 to55mph consistently. do you know any outer way???? or if this going to work. There battery went bad and I have a life time warranty you would think they would had made it right. Help if you can warning for outers.TRUCK IS 2017 HIMMI 5.7 WITH 15,000 i'm 73 when i was 50 I could though 90 lp begs of concrete in the back of a truck now maybe a 5 lp beg or I would be in jail for kicking some ones A## by now. 'Just a little hummer '

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Yes unfortunately when you replace the battery the short term memory of the truck that sets the monitors in the computer saying they are within specification gets erased, it takes a few drive cycles like going up to operating temp and cooling down overnight and some highway driving to reset everything if you go to autozone or if you get yourself a cheap code reader it will show you when the monitors are set on mine they stop flashing on the display but if you drive it for a few days you should have them all set for smog, and it shouldn't fail just come up untestable and they should retest it for free as part of your initial cost.

[@moonmessiah9368]

If you swap the battery with the trucking running would it stop this from happening?

[@OUSWKR]

The back up camera is federally mandated to work. I would file a complaint on it with the NTHSB. It sounds like there is a software issue that they need to fix on it.

It is NOT Federally mandated to "work", only to be equipped with. If the camera does not work, no law is broken.

Appreciate the video brotha, I am currently in a bad frame of mind because I had to replace my battery on my 19 ram, and the check engine light went away after 2 cycles, but my uconnect constantly reboots, the backup camera works but that’s it, I have zero functionality it’s been 48h now. I took it to the dealership and they told me that they could not hard reset and I need a new $1200 head unit. The guy kept implying I did something wrong during the swap. I did not, I’m a handy guy and I was very careful. Please help I’m dying here bud

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Joel Peguero I did a reboot with my tazer it helped with some of the issues but it needing a head unit seems a bit off the first time I had mine disconnected it came back the next day and not it only takes an hour or so I’m a little baffled at what yours is doing but can always disconnect it again and see if it irons itself out

Funny disconnecting the battery , worked well for me , my 2014 ram one morning used the command start only one beep from the truck , went inside says command start disabled , normally start to enable it I turned the key and one click is all I heard , thought it was the starter , but disconnecting the battery for a day , reconnected it today started right up ? must have killed something that was disabling the starting of the vehicle ? If we have to worry about removing the battery from the truck think we are in trouble .

Happened to my Rebel twice. I had to disconnect the battery and leave it disconnected overnight. Then hook up it back the next morning. Luckily that fixed it both times. I’ve noticed if you disconnect the battery and it sparks when you hook it back up you will have issues with the screen and settings.

Steve, Need help Thursday i had Ram dealership add my Magnaflow catback system. no problems after driving after 100 miles . On Friday i decided to Install myself the Hellwig 7883 Rear sway Bar. Then I installed the New Mopar Ram Air flow cold air intake. I Disconnected the battery both Pos and Neg. the only electrical connection was the Maf sensor which plugs into the new exhaust. hook everything back up. First think no cameras at all blue screen for all.i then drove about 3 miles multi message on my dash. rear Stabilize. traction control off cruise off and both front and rear sensor off, and Anti locks brakes outs.. When you shut down the truck everything goes back to normal when starting up again. My sat radio was yesterday working. this morning no sat radio keeps searching , no other indication then drove it about 3 mil everything happen over again. so i was think weird but maybe it was the Hellwig rear sway bar so i put the oem back on. The only reason i was thinking about this is because this is the first indicator i get rear stab. and anti lock brakes. so nothing has change still the same warnings .

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

hmmm yeah that is odd, a sway bar should not affect anything, I think more so it was disconnecting the battery if it is still doing it I would disconnect the negative terminal then wait about 10 to 15 minutes then reconnect it and let the truck sit overnight this will give it time to reboot everything if it is still acting up you may need the dealer to manually reboot it I was able to do this myself with the z automotive tazer DT I have equipped on my truck, hope this helps

I had the big service contract, but they even said, "we are tired of fixing our factory defects on your equipment out of our pocket." Unbelievable! Yes, I need to check again today.

Wait for the ticking to start on the 2017 Ram on the passenger side near the firewall on cold starts then it fades away in a minute. It will be a snapped exhaust manifold bolt. The only permanent fix to keep it from recurring is to put stainless shorty headers on it with new bolts and gaskets. Then later you will have cracked welds in your fancy stainless headers because the only ones available with the design that moves the welds away from direct fire near the firewall is AFE and they are $900

Is happening to me now. I just replaced my battery and my camera gone from my screen and doesn’t work when you put reverse

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Anny Payano yeah it should be

Anny payano Did it come back to normal? This just happened to me ! And overthinking here

[@freddynorman]

Tell your dealership the pin out instructions with the OEM bed lights are incorrect. However turning the hazard lights on will make them work 😂

[@victorpaletta7918]

Hey man, when you installed your throttle performance for the 2019 ram and you disconnected your negative battery port, did your back up camera and satellite radio not work for a while?

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Yup I made a vid on that too freaked me out lol but it’s normal

[@victorpaletta7918]

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

@@victorpaletta7918 absolutely it will be fine the first time took longer on mine like overnight but the second time was like 2 hours

[@TheGreekAV8R]

What about putting a battery tender on the battery cables before you disconnect it?

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

TheGreekAV8R you can buy a tool that has a small battery in it to retain a small amount of voltage while it’s disconnected I’d probably more so use that since a tender isn’t a battery

[@TheGreekAV8R]

@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA interesting. i used my battery tender/maintainer when swapping out the battery in my wife's sienna. clipped it on the cables before i disconnected the battery and didnt lose any presets in the radio.

[@hectorlara569]

Thank you for letting us know what to do !!

[@1bdgato735]

I had the same issue once I had discontinued the battery and it did the exact same thing I ended up going onto the Uconnect website and had them send a reset signal for radio did it that night got up the next morning it all all good to go.

[@MrGrumbolt]

at 8:30 he will finally tell you that it will more than likely come back on its own. honestly if the video quicker to get to the point, i would have watched the advertisements and clicked the like / subscribe etc..

[@ronaldbergstrom1848]

Thank You vary much. love watching your videos

[@portzelkiportzelki3286]

Enough to give you heart failure!! Glad it all worked out in the end. :)

[@isaiahhall7634]

Disconnected my batter to put on the sport roll bar and exact thing happened to me. I played with the screen for a bit and within 10 minutes all functions came back. Heart stopped for 10 minutes tho

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Isaiah Hall I know the feeling 100 percent

[@angelr4429]

I unplugged my battery so I can recharge it with my battery tender ( backstory is that my truck has been sitting on the lot since feb...and I bought in October...and heard of stories of dead batteries). This freaked me out...I’m like “where is my sh!t...not even the backup camera”

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Yup I freaked out too the first time it happened

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

also you can leave it connected while you have your tender on it

[@FixItNick]

I’m more and more scared of new vehicles cuz they are so touchy... that’s why you need a mechanic like Scotty to scan everything for you!!!! I don’t watch his vids that much, it’s getting to annoying and repetitive... no idea how he keeps getting so many views each vid

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Amen Its a good thing I have a scanner and been a mechanic for 20 years and can see through Scotty's opinionated remarks lol

[@FixItNick]

Hammerdown Motorsports haha yup, he’s like the king of thumbnail clickbaits, I used to think Mike was bad haha

[@rex44rm]

Me too!!!!!!! Man I was freaking out in the exact same shoes as you! Just made my first payment and then this shit happen! I am hoping that your right let me let it sit over night and first dam thing in the morning ima try it out.

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Ricky Martinez it will be fine mine does it every time I disconnect it but yeah it freaked me out for sure

[@rex44rm]

Hammerdown Motorsports thanks man! Yea I was installing an amp and man I was freaking out shitting bricks lol

[@089Screech]

@@rex44rm I take it that it all ended up fixing itself?

[@andrewhardgrove7856]

I got a urge the urge for more Cowbell I mean Rock Lights!

[@devnull128]

There are a large number of modules (HMI’s, etc) that need to initialize on startup and a battery pull is a hard start. Just takes time on these ones. Long computer reboot. Nice truck!

[@timford44]

I had a similar problem with a Charger R/T 392 Scatpack. Battery was disconnected and I started seeing just Chrysler on my screen instead of the bee. Took it to the dealership to have them look at it but it had corrected itself. They said after a couple starts it would rediscover itself. It was a strange problem but very minor in the end.

[@lilman2816]

I just put a new intake in my charger and this is what exactly happened to me. My ac wouldn’t work. Backup camera wouldn’t work and my SRT dashboard and modes wouldn’t work and scared the crap out of me

[@Cruel_Shoes]

Problems when you disconnect the negative terminal and then hook it back up is there the reason that I just paid $330 for a brand new battery at the local Ram dealership instead ofgoing the cheap route

[@finztotheright]

This happened to me as well. I keep losing the entire screen. It just goes black. Usually comes back on after driving it and letting it sit. It did not this last time. Disco'ed negative terminal for 10 minutes and after reconnect half of my stuff was gone as you describe. I didn't wait and took it to the dealer. They were able to somehow reset it. I find it interesting that the service manager didn't know the data eventually comes back after time. How do you not know this? My screen has gone black again and I have disco'ed the neg terminal again. Waiting to see if everything comes back... Supposedly I'm getting a new radio. There is also another update coming at some point to fix my screen issue but who the hell knows. Very aggravated with this screen. Its about the 6th or 7th time its done it since I bought it 5 weeks ago. 2020 Limited

[@finztotheright]

Thanks for the video btw
