Dennis,

You were spot on regarding changing the battery. After install of a new one it started immediately.

I went to the Chrysler dealer to get a Mopar battery and the parts person indicated that the only one they had was offered with only a three year warranty. I expressed some disappointment about that and he said I could go to Interstate for a longer warranty as the Mopar batteries were made by Interstate and just had Mopar stickers added to them. I took the Mopar but will probably make a different choice the next time.

While I had all the cables off I also connected a harness to the battery terminals that allows a simple plug in of a Battery Tender. I may have to buy one or two more to keep the different vehicles connected and charged.
