So I've got a 2018 2500 and I'm having an intermittent issue starting.
It started randomly, turn the key and got nothing. No crank, no lift pump, no dimming lights, no dash warnings, nothing. Tried again, then hit the unlock button and tried and it fired up. Figured I tripped the security or something.
Fast forward a bit and I went to start it and same thing, left me stranded. I tried the same thing and nothing. Tried both my key and my old ladies key and nothing. Left it and came back the next day, pulled the batteries and took them to get them tested. Autozone, advanced and orileys all said they were weak so I bought 2 new ones threw them in and it fired right up. Drove about 5-10 minutes to pick up a buddy to drop him off at his truck he let me borrow to get mine taken care of and it wouldn't start after walking back out of his house 15 minutes later. Same ****.
I'm at a loss. I'll take any advice as to what to look for.
