Went out to start my 2021 Ram diesel 2500 and pressed brake, pushed button and it clicked then cycled through a bunch of warnings - fuel filter, trailer towing, and about 4 other things and won’t start. Tried again about 12 hrs later and same thing. Now I have to get it towed out of a parking garage to the dealership.$$$$$ Any thoughts on what’s wrong? I shot a video of the warning lights, not sure if it will be helpful. Thanks

DID it just click and light up warnings, or did it also turn over at all, or even a lil?

Batteries, and if U got 2 batteries which U probably do, since U relate U have a 2500 Diesel, is replace both of them, NOT one. The other thing I would think before U replace batteries is trace all of the electrical connections from battery (ies) to starter and ground and insure all are tight and not corroded.

Thanks for the advise!
If u replace and have dual battery system U always replace both at same time regardless of any testing.
