The battery is likely the issue. It is original. The first sign of a bad battery is the wing going up on an NA. But on the SRT that isn't a likely symptom of bad batteries. Like I said, it seems these cars do not like to be stored and ignored. They get even.


It's cold here for a few days and I haven't the time....working 14 hours at the plant. But this weekend I'm doing a new battery, checking cables and replacing wiper blades. Yeah, they crumbled to shredded dust on the way home tonite.
