Johnny MrNevermind Wright Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Hello, I'm new to the forum and not sure if this is a regular issue. I've had few problems with what I can only think is a lazy start. When I put key in car and turn it over it's like it can't be bothered, after a while it starts, apart from this morning, it's a definite bad battery that I've only had for about 8 months in the car, it was new about 12 months ago from mopar and sent to me in the UK. I've read some things about the stock cd player isn't that good and can drain the battery and just to note yesterday in the UK we had serious rain and I parked up with radio on, wipers on and the fans too. Got in the car this morning and everything comes on, turn key and just the click and nothing works, few more tries and nothing on now, all very much dead.. I know I'm going to have to slog out for a battery and I was contemplating getting rid of the stereo and getting aftermarket one fitted.. Any more ideas on what you all think it could be before I waste money on the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 My battery did the same thing. One day good; next day dead. You have a lot more options as far as a radio replacements go, with the old style dash. But, I have never heard of any issues concerning the old style radios.

Johnny MrNevermind Wright Posted June 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 It's only I've read a few story's concerning the fuses regards the radio, what else could it be, did you get yours sorted? dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I bought a new battery. Check your glove box light, to make sure that it is going off when you close the lid. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
