Good advice Mike, I hadn't came across that before (never had the light come on though, either).

My thoughts exactly.

When I went to pull my SRT6 out of winter storage, it just clicked, too. I tried jumping it with my wife's car, but no success...still clicked. Went home and got a booster unit and let that run for 5 minutes and she started right up. Took her home and hooked up a trickle charger for 2 days and have not had a problem since. The slow charge seems to have revived the battery. Next winter I park it in my garage with a float charger.

PS - Did get the BAS/ESP light (and lost my s/c each time), but the lock-to-lock reset seems to have cleared that up, too.

Now that it starts fine, you need to check the charging system. You should have 13.8 to 14.2 volts at the battery while the eng is running. If you don't own a volt meter, have it checked at one of the auto stores.

I seem to have a battery issue as well, at least I hope that's all it is. Never had a problem, although I drive the car only once a week or so. Last drove it a couple of weeks ago, no issue. Jumped in it a few days ago and no go.

I was able to jump start it without an issue, and thought driving for an hour or so would recharge the battery. Came home, turned it off. Sat for a minute and tried to turn it back on and nothing. So I'm guessing it's the battery since I have jump started it three time now with no problems.

The funny thing is, and I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but every time I jump start the Crossfire, the wing goes up on it's own. Must be that boost gives it a little, "SCHWING!" as Wayne and Garth used to say....but it's happened all three times.
