Hello all, new to the forum. I have a 2018 Ram 1500 Laramie. I noticed the other night as I was looking out the window that my instrument cluster back lights were on and the Uconnect screen turned on. It shut off after about 10 seconds but continued to cycle on and off about every minute. I have tried disconnecting the battery overnight and it seems to have helped, although once in a while I will notice the instrument lights and Uconnect on briefly. This happens of course with the truck off and keys in the house. Anyone have a similar problem?

New here also, I have a 2014 1500 express, after truck is off & locked dash lights will cycle on & off about every 45 seconds, this will happen all night sometimes resulting in a dead battery, doesn't happen every time, but have had dead battery many times,

Coming out of sleep mode, not good. Have dealer check,or you can reset yourself. If it doesnt help then maybe infotainment issue.

TIPM module.. common symptom. Your particular truck might be just starting to have minor issues. As time progresses I'd bet you'll have more electricl issues appear. I had a bad tipm with multiple failures and this was one of the symptoms. After a used tipm swap i started seeing multiple functions the truck used to do that slowly over time stopped working and I never even noticed until I had a good working tipm again...remember the bcm will wake with any type of voltage fluctuations on alit of different circuits. And also YES the passenger front seat does have an occupancy sensor..and NO the truck waking when you "bounce around " inside is NOT normal...likely another common problem..the bcm harness under the steering wheel having loose and short connections..turn the key to run and stick your hand up under the dash and wiggle the large harness directly connected to the OBD port..bingo
