I have a early production 2019 ram 1500 limited with the 12 inch screen and recently I've been having all sorts of problems. The problems have got worse and are now: screen and dash turn on for about 20 seconds when you start truck so no radio/ac controls, front windows dont roll down, defroster stuck on full blast, air suspension not working, and just this morning it was completely dead, it didnt even unlock the truck. Need help, its impossible to drive the truck like this.

I'd first make sure the battery was good. All kinds of weird crap can happen when they fail.

And they can take a dump at any time, too.

How many miles on your Ram?

You also mentioned the problems getting worse. What kind of issues did you have to start with, how did they progress, and over what kind of time frame?

Have you had the truck since new?

1st THING: Check BATTERY big time. A lot of what U R describing can be a Bad Battery. One of the big reasons when I bought my truck I also stayed with a Plain Jane Uconnect 4 Radio 8.4 screen, No NAV, 911 stuff, just plain jane that has Apply Play, there were some reported issues also on the 12" screens.

If the battery load tests ok, I would also be taking a look at the ground points, and also harnesses, especially if there are any where the wiring enters the cab.

Thats an awful lot of separate issues going on which makes me think ground or connector poorly seated, something common to all, etc.
