Stumped! Died idling, 100% loss of power.
Thanks. I certainly will. After resetting the computer, the problem seems to be gone, but if it comes back, that's what I'll replace first. I just wish this would cause a DTC, but I never got a check engine light or any DTCs. I'll definitely let you know if I do end up replacing it though.
The problem came back, but now, the idle is fine. When I go to start it, it clicks once then everything dies. If I jiggle the negative terminal though, everything works again and the battery reads 12 volts. But, I go to start it, click, dead. Finally got it started, and everything seemed fine. Turned it off after 10 minutes and went to start it, click, dead. Jiggled the negative terminal and everything came back on. What the hell?
Exactly what your telling me has happened to my durango also.. I guess its common for these durangos. Unfortunantly i havent figured out that problem either.. So when you do please post it here and let us know what you did.. Good luck
if jigglilng the battery cable is 'solving' the issue (temporarily of course) you have your starting point, new cable and clamps with clean terminals, you are not getting a solid connection there (id replace both battery cable personally)
I was going to try that, and it also had the same TPS issue as well. O'Reilly's said the battery is weak, but I want to try to get it load tested as well. I'll try the cables also.
