I just purchased a 2024 Ram 2500 Laramie package with 6.7L Diesel. I’m having an issue with the computer not recognizing my tow vehicle.
I have a bass boat that I tow frequently and my computer doesn’t recognize that I have a conventional tow vehicle. After I start towing, the sensors recognize the tow vehicle and it displays a screen (attached photo) on the drivers console. I am unable to clear the screen, only by shifting out of drive will the screen clear.
Specifics, the boat has a 5 pin connector and I use a 5 pit to 7 pin adapter to plug in for lights. The 5th pin is for reverse, so I can back the trailer as it has surge brakes. Lights and reverse work fine. I’ve even towed a newer (2024) boat recently and still same results.
I also have a conventional tow box trailer with electric brakes, and the computer recognized it upon start up.
Any suggestions on how to correct the issue.
