And sure enough just looked at this particular video, and sure enough, I had found out that I had accidentally turned the dome light toggle switch off!! As soon as I saw that on the video, I knew that I had switched it off when looking to turn on one of those small lights!!! You are our go to guy for explaining and showing how to do it!!!!!

[@casler8382]

​@@prestonflanikensellscars9640 unfortunately if the electric e-brake is on, and the truck don't recognize the key fob, u can't get it to release. So pulling the tab to get the truck in neutral won't work well with the rear tires locked up. Ram didn't realize that one haha.

[@Joe-ic3gy]

The Tip I learned from my 2003 Ram 1500 Laramie Quad-Cab 4x4 5.7L by accident is that if I ever forget to turn off any Interior lights and even the Headlights (even though the Headlights have a chime that goes on letting me know that they are still on after turning off the truck), say I'm in a hurry and don't turn them off. After a brief period of time any lights that were left on will automatically turn off after about 5-10 minutes. I don't have to worry about my battery being dead the next morning, as soon as I enter the truck the next morning I will see if I left any lights on after closing the door, and when I turn on the ignition the chime for the Headlights starts making noise, I have never had a dead battery.
