Wink Re: Panel warning lites & spoiler up

After fixing the original lite problems with 2 bad rear wheel speed sensors and getting all the scan codes reset. Started having BAC/ESP light coming after start and would go out at 25MPH. That graduated to the Spoiler going up and fail lite on inthe start position. After start the ABS was on with the BAC/ESP light. After reaching 25 mph all lites out and spoiler fail lite out and able to clos manually and speed check at 64mph spoiler operated normal.

Decided to go back to the battery (Original) that had been serviced to cover the plates during the original problems. Decided to service the battery to the top of the cell tubes and put on charge overnight with draining the overflow tank a couple of times.

Voltage to start was 13.5 volts. After overnight charge Voltage was 13.9 and charge amperage was down to 1.5 from 6 amps.

Started the car and all has been normal in the last 10 starts.

Will probably change the battery but concerned about the BCM sensitivity on any new battery with voltages appearing ok. Though the battery is 6 years old.

Have MOPAR warranty on a new BCM that was purchased for the original problems and never did work the spoiler system. Will try it when I get it and see what happens.

Have a later model rag top sitting in our village with the spoiler up and has not moved in a couple of days. Havent found the owner.

Moral of the story With any spoiler problems check the battery. Just cause it starts ok does not mean anything.
