In the 2019 Ram 1500 and other vehicles with USB ports, there are several reasons why they might stop working. Firstly, it may seem trivial, but make sure your USB cable is functioning properly. There have been instances where I thought my port was broken, only to find out it was the cable that was faulty. If changing the cable doesn't solve the issue, you may have a more serious problem. Typically, the failure could be in either the wiring connected to the port or the port pins themselves. Fixing the wiring may be simpler but more challenging to access. However, swapping out a USB port shouldn't be too time-consuming or costly.
