Ignition On

Glad you got that fixed before it left you in a lurch, like I was.

All they did was recharge the batteries and tell me to drive more, use a trickle charger, or put it on storage mode. Oh well, at least the ignition will stay on for 4 minutes now. I will readjust my "wake-up" setting if I can like someone suggested. When the service advisor kept saying "oil life monitor" as opposed to "oil level monitor", I knew it wouldn't go well. Unfortunately, there just isn't much out there on these cars yet.

Lot of stuff running when you shut car down and it all runs off the small 12 volt battery. Later RJD

I would like to see Dodge offer a charge system like what's offered on Corvettes. There is like a cig lighter plug in trunk and you plug the charger in to that and the other to 110. Easy and simple and we wouldn't need to drive the cars all the time. Later RJD

UPDATE: Recharging failed. After an extended drive, the ignition only stayed on for two minutes and shut off again and I even turned off the "wakeup" mode earlier. It showed the same error messages also. The guy will call me back with Plan B.

After plan B fails tell him I have a plan C: new battery.

While car is running, and while car is off, what does the 12v battery gauge show?
