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.
The USB ports can charge my phone, but they won't link up for data transfer. Do you have any recommendations?
All of the 5th generation Rams are experiencing a common issue with the media hub that requires replacement.
If the USB port on the 2019 Ram 1500 isn't functioning properly, the issue might stem from a damaged contact plate that is easily prone to damage, or it may be due to a lack of power supply to the USB port.
The Mag Safe charger doesn't function in the two front ports, but it works perfectly in the ports in the back seat. The front two ports perform well with my USB C to USB C charger. The interface is quite frustrating and poorly designed.
I encountered a similar issue with the USB ports, so I dug into it today. I swapped out the media hub, and everything seems to be running smoothly for now. We'll have to wait and see how long it lasts.
My Ram truck displayed an error message indicating that the USB ports were sending an unusually high voltage before they stopped functioning. Do you have any suggestions on what could be causing this issue?
They claim that the fuse is likely defective.
Opt for a smaller USB size as larger ones might not be compatible. Why not give a 1 GB a try just for fun!
I was having issues with my media hub not transferring data or charging properly. I ended up replacing the media hub today, and now everything is working fine. I just want to see how long it will continue working.
They automatically switch off once the truck's engine is shut down.
