I own a 2011 Ram 1500, Hemi 5.7. I went to start the truck yesterday morning and the windshield wipers engaged (which weren’t turned on), clicked once, then lost all power. The key became locked in the ignition. I opened the door after arriving home from work, and power had been restored. I was able to remove the key, but I put it back in to start it and the windshield wipers engaged again and the starter clicked then lost all power. I charged the battery, which was at 66%, and left it on trickle until today. I removed the fully charged battery and had it tested, and the battery checked good. When I returned home, I reinstalled the battery and was going to take it to the parts store to have the alternator tested. I went to start the truck and it clicked twice then turned over, ran for a few seconds and then died. Any ideas what might be wrong with my truck? Thanks in advance for your opinions!
