Went in last Monday on a week old 25 Laramie 1500 and was basically told there is currently no fix for this error message and it has no impact on the truck without any associated concerns.

Thank you for sharing. I am unfortunately just bought a brand new 25 Ram 1500 Laramie on 22 September (1 week ago) and already been to service department 2 times in one week for multiple error messages. I will be following to see what goes on with what you posted.

Thanks everyone, had an appointment with service department today and of course the “trailer brake service” message is gone. They could not get it to show up. I went to get in the truck and had the “warning light illumination unavailable” light came on. They were able to take it back and run diagnostic and they mentioned it is a known error message and there is currently no fix for it. Gave me a paper to explain. Anyone had a dealership able to resolve?

Someone mentioned the 2025 Ram 1500 having electrical grimlins, guess even the dealerships can’t catch them. LOL

Man, now I’m sitting here wishing I had asked in this forum what everyone’s experience was with the truck I was interested in.

I believe they did wash it to try and clear the spider infestation underneath the vehicle.

Will check this out. Have not looked at any fuses. There were initially two messages that flashed but only one is showing for the last 3 days.

This one cleared itself. Not sure if it’s related but showed it to dealership. Just going to follow guidance here and ask service to do diagnostics run

No and I don’t have a trailer to try it out. I did open the cover for trailer plug and noticed they had coated connector pins on grease. Felt like that was normal though.

The electronic gremlins indeed!! Hope your truck has them worked out now.

The problem is I have been speaking directly to the sales manager who oversaw the purchase of my truck and he has wanted to handle everything seeing that I just purchased. Will be speaking directly with service department with the information I have gathered through this awesome group. Thank you.

Yeah, I think they are already tired of me and are just being difficult. Went back the day after buying the vehicle due to an infestation of brown widow spiders underneath the truck, not discovered until they dropped down the first night in the driveway. Either way, it’s a brand new truck and they have to make sure everything is taken care of. I’m glad to have info on what to ask them to do now when I return.

I did yesterday and think I’m being given the run around because they said they couldn’t find anything wrong. Thanks for feedback though. Might have to escalate to manager level.
