Maybe the earlier Crossfires won't do it. But my 06 roadster and 08 coupe, as well as my 06 Jeep Commander will all shut the lights off if I leave them on or leave a door open. It takes a little time, maybe 15 or 20 minutes but it should never drain a battery.

 

I beg your pardon, TJ has turned over a new leaf, offering to repair my RCM, even when I told him, MY CAR IS BLACK!!!

 

Told ya not to tell!
Deal is off!


(not really, it's on it's way)

 

DJ... the BLUE boys wont be happy when they see that you are secretly supporting BLACK cars...

 

I have heard of this happening before. Someone on this site. If I remember correctly the HVAC fan motor resistors shorted out and the fan would constantly run even with the key turned off.

Worth a look see ...

 

------Oh, just kidding right, ,Pheeew

 

I recall having a bad alternator diode (high leakage rate) that drained the battery overnight, I think it was on my 1970 Dodge Charger.
When I bought my used '05 Crossfire, it was still under the original warranty. The warranty stated that a loaner would be made available during the first 36000 miles/3 years. I never used the warranty.

 

Basically after 5 hours, i know it is more than two. I came out of my college class which takes two hours and the car turned on fine.

 

Guys i deelply appreciate your help. I think ill go to the dealer and start checking by myself with the "fuses trick" i i have no luck at all i will try a private shop. I'll just make sure to have those beer goggles before i start jaja.....

 

onehundred80, the several hours its about five i would say. since a tested the car after two hows and it turned out fine.

I believe i will go to the dealer and start doing the "fuses trick". I'll make sure to do the beer googles thing in order to make thing look better lol.

Thank you very much for your help guys i will leet you know when i bring my car back.

 

My lights shut off automatically as well, after a certain number of minutes. The main lights don't, but the interior lights do.

 

Guys i finally got my car back (with the same problem though) from the dealer so i will start checking the drain myself. I just thank god i didn't have to pay a cent. I got my multimeter, but in order to begin i should know how much current should the crossfire read without a drain (which current number am i looking for). Ive already seen verious videos on u-tube of what i have to do, so ill give it a try.

And another thing, in the case i found the fuse related to the drain, where can i find the car's wiring diagram? This will be very important if i want to find the specific spot of the drain.

Thanks alot guys!!!!

 

Do a search for battery drain it should be around 50 miliamps I think, also go to the srt section and down load the service manual and this will show you the electrical diagrams, hope this helps keep us updated.
