My 2022 RAM 2500 I could push the button once and be in accessory mode. Just bought a 26 and there seems to be no accessory. If I push the button once it put the ignition on. How do you get accessory mode or did that go away?
Thanks, T

Push the ignition switch without your foot on the brake.

I do, it turns the ignition on not accessory. I had a 2025 loaner that did the same thing. IDK, strange

I trust that if you tap the start button without pressing the brake, everything comes on, including the radio and window controls. Is that correct?

The same as most of the recent trucks, when tapping the start button twice without pressing the brake pedal.

My 23 still has the accessories position. Maybe it went away in 25 with the Atlantis electrical infrastructure system.

Is there any method to listen to the radii or open/close windows without starting the engine?

Don't step on the brake pedal and it won't start. The On position is basically the same as the old Acc position now

So, basically, the same as all the trucks with a start button. :cool:

My '21 is, tap the start button twice without the brake, and everything lights up except the engine and the high beams.

Stellantis dropped the ACC position; that's all. Interesting...

I don't think it's the same. If I don't step on the brake and push the button, it's like turning the key to run. All the lights come on and the CEL is on. Why would they take away the accessory mode?? My 22 was push button once, accessory, push button twice, run

Yea. Push it once without foot on brake, everything lights up. It was back in the day, the accessory position only allowed certain electrical functions to work. Like to listen to the radio, but it doesn’t matter much today as I’ve had numerous times when I was cabbed up for a few hours and my battery got too low. That’s why I carry a NOCO jump pack!
