Do this

Sit in truck and hold in the odometer button on dash then turn on key dont start just to on while holding odometer. You dash should go through a light sequence check and see if it does.

If not you might have to replace it as it might have a short which is common on the dodge ram trucks.

Battery might have a bad cell under load when starting and will not hold a charge so get a load test done.
