2015 ram has power clicks but won't turnover

[goatiegoat1]

purchased 2015 ram 1500 5.7 in may used. worked great until last night leaving a party it wouldn't start. originally thought it was battery because it clicked when i tried to start. we attempted to jump but realized its not the battery. any thoughts. I tried both key fobs. No prior warning

Have your battery load tested, you say tried to jump What happened? Remove and clean all connections at battery for a start.

Load test the current battery, if it has a bad cell sometimes even jump starting won't help.
Possibly the starter if your hearing a click. You'll want to check the voltage at the starter battery terminal when attempting to crank, if there's significant voltage drop with turning over something is possibly seized

See the other no-start thread currently running. Usual culprits:

- starter relay
- starter
- cables
- grounds
- WIN module (behind the key) see Y/T videos on this

Your battery is probably loading the jump battery preventing it from starting or the starter crapped the bed.

What type of vehicle did you try jump starting it with? I've seen it a few times on the jobsite where end of the day someone's truck won't start (dead battery). Tries jump starting it with a small car and still nothing even after having the cables connected for a while. Finally another truck would pull up and the dead truck would almost fire up instantly once the cables were connected to another truck.
