electric short under the hood
05 srt6 roadster.My battery goes dead in a few days time.I can hear an electric hiss/burning sound coming from the base of the windshield dead center between the glass & firewall not the firewall & rear of the engine.What the heck in down in there???? I cannot hear anything from inside the car.Anyone come across this problem? Thanks & have a great holiday.Tom,so. florida

Re: electric short under the hood
Most likely that is the alarm module.
Sometimes when the batteries in it go kaput, they leak stuff on the circuit board and you are hearing all those components screaming.
You have to remove the windshield wiper arms and the plastic cowling cover to get to it.
Unplug the module, and take the opportunity to clean out all the trash from the cowl drains.
You can replace the module if you want, but it's OK unplugged, just no alarm anymore.
