So I have a new 2013 ram1500 and everything was fine when i got it back in august. Now that it is getting cold I am seeing issues with the truck and that seems odd. I've done some sort of digging in the forums and on Google and see that I haven't been the only person with issues when it gets cold outside. for one, my dash lights blink constantly and it's weird because after playing with it i noticed it only does it when i dim the dash all the way. if i make it brighter it doesn't blink at all. someone on ramforumz talked about it doing it to them last month when i searched this problem but after reading i saw that the guy had no solution but just to see what happens after a while. also i noticed that my truck has gotten slow when unlocking and locking all the doors. has like a 1 to 2 second delay when i press lock/unlock. also after i hit pause on the radio it never gives me the play button anymore (i have uconnect 5.0). and if it does show a play button then it reacts slow after i hit play. but most of the time the pause button just stays on the screen and when i hit it to play a song it doesn't do anything.
i really don't want to have to take it in being that its the holidays and my work schedule is heavy right now. any solutions? i saw another discussion about maybe the truck is drawing a lot of current to the heater when it's cut on but i doubt it because the lights don't flicker when the brightness is up. also saw someone mention fuses in a different forum but it doesn't sound like that is the issue either nor a lose connection. any ideas?
