    The battery needs a proper load test done (most auto parts stores do this for free) to see just what capacity is left in this "relatively new" battery. As I stated once, "if mine, I'd get a new battery". ALSO in the little over 2 years since you got this present battery, the battery posts and terminal ends should have been cleaned and a film of dielectric grease used on them to help prevent oxidation/poor connection. YES I know the battery is in a tough location, I've been there and done that even with a bad back for a 62 yr old fellow.

    Good to hear that "so far" all seems good! At a bit of a loss as to the "rf and fr modules", I understand the rest of replaced components. YUP, gotta be careful with these computer sized wiring cars now.

    And like Paul Harvey ... and now the rest of the story! I have to agree with member larryl. The battery/electrical system can only handle so much drain, time to change your habits.

    Seems a little soon for another battery to me. But there again as to maint/care/temp conditions/whatever else is on(uconnect/ other electronics). I take it you don't do much of the "nasty" maint work, but how clean are the battery posts and terminal ends? Do you leave a phone connected(that draws power) ? The audio on these draws more than you'd think what with all that's turned on to play the radio on Acc. This ain't the '70's car systems anymore. BUT due to it not cranking up as you post, ,YEAH if MINE I'd get a new battery, (BUT NOT FROM A DEALER).

    There's no way to give you a "time" answer, as there are too many variables that affect "drain" time. Todays cars(yes even your '13) draw a lot of power thru the battery, and they don't last like they used to with older cars. Your posted use times are just about at the limit of what I've noticed for having a "too low to start" battery. I'd suggest starting it up and letting it run for a while about mid cycle of your listening "pleasure times".

    Well 3 months ago my daughter traded her Kia Spectra in for same year SEL and LOVES it. I hope it will serve you well. I'm a fairly big guy(280lbs)and with a bad back, and find it a bit of a tight fit, but comfortable. Not near the cargo room of the older DJ like our '11 ,model.

    WOW! I feel for you, getting same problem someone else has already messed with. Been there. Not a lot left except to check the electric pump for the power brakes and may have a shot brake booster. The 3.6 uses a pump and not manifold vacuum. I have not run into this situation yet, but there are a lot of posts here of same problem and on another forum for Dodge cars that use the same system for brakes that I frequent, most do not respond to the actual fix other than figuring out improper bleeding. From your posting of talents, I'd assume you did it right.

    Surprising that they can replicate the fault yet have "no clue" as to where to go with a fix for it. That seems to be a common failure of many auto techs that rely on the cars computer systems to show the fault for diagnostics rather than using the "tech's" BRAIN POWER training. I appreciate your patience about the situation with them AND here on the forum. GOOD LUCK and keep us posted!

    I understand completely about noises from performance exhaust. AND yes sometimes RA has great prices for a part, but shipping is prohibitively high. I was once going to buy a replacement fender for my 04 T&C for $22. till at checkout to find the cheapest shipping was $240. I cancelled that part! It was not long after that I "retired" the T&C and replaced it with my current '10 Lucerne.

    So, my being a relative newbie to the site...... Just what year / engine is your DJ? tried looking for that info from your profile and postings and could not find it. I've gone to using rockauto for most all of my parts needs including exhaust
  11. 5rebel9
    YES the B1S1 and B2S1, they are the "upstream"(in the exhaust manifolds). The "downstream" B1S2 and B2S2 are in the converters. Cracks in exhaust or in the exhaust manifolds can set these codes along with other items I posted.
  12. 5rebel9
    Please repot back once you change the coil.
  13. 5rebel9
    Welcome to the Forum. How many miles on this DJ? IF over 100k miles I'd suggest start with exhaust system check for leaks between the up stream and downstream O2 sensors. Then most commonly would be UPSTREAM O2 sensors. They are the main use sensor for fuel system trim control AND are recommended to be replaced every 100K miles. Your codes indicate that it is running too rich on both banks. Not knowing just how it is running or maint history, there are a number of things that can make an engine run "rich" from worn plugs to intake leaks to bad fuel injectors. Good luck and I hope this helps.

    Is this an ACTUAL dodge dealership? Is this also the dealer you bought it from? IF SO, I'd suggest locating another DODGE dealership in your area. There is only so much we as a forum can offer in help. My sympathies as to your situation.
  15. 5rebel9
    Sounds to me like a different problem altogether about the dome light. UNLESS you are having an electrical draw that's killing the battery. LOW battery state can cause a heap of engine drivability concerns. What kind of driving are you doing with the car? Short "hops" or more than 10 miles 1 way?
  16. 5rebel9
    So, have you tried running a can of Sea Foam Fuel system cleaner thru with a fill up of gas in the tank?
  17. 5rebel9
    This will also work on the 2011 - 2013's BIG IF that you remember to use the 2014 and newer oil filter cartridges at installation and subsequent oil changes. Our '11's has not needed replacement yet, but it will be the one that goes on when that time comes.
  18. 5rebel9
    OUCH! Glad you're OK! Good luck to you for your replacement ride, but make a last post as to what you do get! AND, I'd lay bets that when salvaged by the insurance co., that it may all or major components of it will be back on the road again!

    sorry to her that the Dodge(?) Dealer has not been able to figure it out yet. Actually I've been wondering about the transmission torque converter clutch solenoid not releasing the overdrive and letting it downshift to keep power and momentum. Been seeing this quite often being posted here on this forum and others that use the same engine/transmission package. BUT a good dealer should be able to figure that out. Good Luck and keep us posted.
  20. 5rebel9
    Well PLEASE update us on just what is found out , for the benefit of all readers here.
  21. 5rebel9
    Come to think about it, there are a couple of different codes for various computer concerns relating to camshaft position sensors, some do NOT mean that replacing them will fix the problem. Would be best if your problem persists that you get those exact codes from your repair invoice or the dealers records and post them here. THAT WAY, there can be little room for guessing and incorrect suggestions. Spark plugs are still recommended..... read your maint. guide in the owners book.
  22. 5rebel9
    Nice notice to an almost perfect all 7's display! BUT the vehicle is hardly broken in yet! LOL
  23. 5rebel9
    And that is why I suggested the 2 things for you to do. These 2 items will not throw an engine light or codes, until they get REAL BAD. lack of power on hills is a first indication of things needing attention. I see you reside in the "US Southern Plains area" could you please describe closer your area (for terrain purposes) of use? And do you drive with a number of passengers and "gear" in the vehicle? My sister has a 2.4 engine model and says the hills (we have many large hills here near Buffalo, NY) drag down speed/power. And is envious of our V6 model after I took her for a ride in ours.
  24. 5rebel9
    check with your "Dealer" to see that the spark plugs have been replaced, they are due, look at your owners maint schedule in the owners book. Gosh 300 miles a month, we do that in a week. I'd suggest a can of Seafoam fuel system cleaner in the next fill up. Yes the 4 cyl. model is no powerhouse on large hills and such, will do OK on the level. IF you still get engine light, please post the codes in the P _ _ _ _ format, so we get a better understanding what the computer is seeing that it does not like.
  25. 5rebel9
    Which size engine, the 2.4 L4 or the 3.6 V6 and FWD or AWD? How many miles on it and what maint. BESIDES oil changes have been done?
