6.4 no crank

[JRs 17 Ram]

Ok, lots of info out there, none exactly the same as my issue. Ram 2500 4x4 Big Horn 6.4. Drove around all day, stopped at a buddy's house. 20 minutes later get back in the truck, turn key, lights come on but no crank, no clicking, nothing. Tried it several times with no change. Tried a remote start, same thing. Asked my buddy about giving me a jump. He went to get his cables and I said I'll try it one more time and it started. I don't want to get stranded somewhere so where do I start? My battery connections are good, tight and clean, battery seems good. Thanks in advance.

Could be plenty of things Ignition/starter/bad connection ect even tho it started the truck I would def have your battery tested could be on its way out newer vehicles are very picky when it comes to voltage.

If it happens again & its push start, try pushing button with fob.
Both fobs with new batteries stopped working on our 2014 Jeep Cherokee, had to replace.
Same symptoms as you are describing.

I have the same issue. Have you found a solution? Battery is good. Seems intermittent. Last time I got it to stare I shifted the 4wd from high to low and it started.

If it's intermittent try this.
Go get a battery cable at the store and run it from the negative post to a bolt on your alternator frame.
If it never happens again then you had a bad ground somewhere.
