Hey all,
I have been a steady reader of this forum for about three months now. I purchased four months ago an 05' alabaster roadster with only 2800 miles. Im in love and drive it every chance I get. However, today after having it sitting for about two weeks the battery is totally dead. I had AAA do a voltage test on it and it is totally dead. Nothing was on but I have been having problems with my radio not saving stations. Im assuming that the previous owner just let it sit for so long that it just slowly lost its charge. Does that make sense? In any event the deed is done. My question is are there any specific settings that need to be "reset" once I disconnect the battery? Any special battery I should go with? Thanks!

 

Make sure your trunk is closed all the way. Seemed to be a problem for me in the past. there is a light on the bottom right inside corner that does not go off unless you have a good latch.

 

Last Tuesday, my daughter was driving my SRT after a track meet and at 9:00 pm she calls me to tell me the car died. I had it towed to the dealer, which was closed. They replaced the battery. When I went to pick it up Friday, they said the alternator was nonfunctioning. It was ordered from Orlando along with valve cover gaskets.

Needless to say Orlando did not have the Alternator, but shipped the valve gaskets. Had to reorder the Alt from Detroit. It is suppose to be here Wednesday.

I drove my daughters SRT today just to calm my withdraw symtoms.

 

off topic question, but why would your daughter drive your "plain" srt

 

Glad to hear im not the only one who has had this problem. Thanx

 

Here is the thread I did a few months ago...might be the same issue.

thanks for the thread. Has it been problem free since you changed the battery? Im going to Autozone tomorrow.

 

Hers was at the dealer and I was driving the rental car since Enterprise frowns upon 17 yo renting cars. lol
