Default Flashing Start/Stop Ignition - Truck Won’t Start

Need some help diagnosing my 2021 dodge ram 1500. The ignition has a slow flash. Brake petal is hard and the horn sounds like a sick duck. I replaced the battery and the battery in my fob. Pressed the fob to the ignition and still nothing. The screen is black, no signs of life. Is this electrical or mechanical? I thought maybe something to do with the Uconnect radio or something with the starter or fuel pump? Need your help!

Recheck your battery connections, make sure they are clean and tight. Also, might consult your owners manual, and see what it has to say about it.

I would check to see if you had any updates that were cut short for whatever reason. I had not started my truck for a couple days and it would turn on the flashers and honk the horn until some update was done. Try that.
