Hey guys, sorry if there's already something on this but I couldn't find anything searching.

My 2016 ram has been pretty trouble free the past 5 years I've owned it up until now.

As soon as I open a door in the morning my locks will keep clicking every few seconds until the truck is sitting parked for about an hour.

It seems like it's constantly sending an unlock signal to all 4 doors and my guage cluster will flash and gauges move a little bit every time as well. Lock signal happens parked or driving.

I'm not sure if it's at all related but occasionally the truck will stall when I stop at a red light or stop sign, i don't notice anything out of the usual when it stalls its just all of a sudden and only as I stop, never while actually driving or idling.

Could this be looking at a bcm issue or is there something else messed up with the truck?

Step one is check and report any codes present. I'm thinking maybe TIPM (Fusebox in the engine bay). One thing I've noticed on every MOPAR TIPM I've encountered, every single fuse is not fully seated from the factory. If you go and press down on every fuse and relay in there you will get them to move a millimeter or two and hear them click into place. Give that a try as step two...
