Trouble starting and other electrical issues
Hi, I've recently switched both vehicles from Chevy to Dodge. My wifes 2006 Durango Limited Hemi has been acting strange. Occasionally, she finds herself in a parking lot having a hard time starting it like there's no power. After persistance, it fires up but seems to be in some sort of power safe mode (basically no accessories will come on). The probelm hasn't happened to me so that's all the description I have. The battery light comes on but I do not suspect this to be the problem as it is never low when I check it and the problem is intermittent. Thanks in advance for any experienced advice.

Easy things first
is the cel ?
any added electrical- if remote is it OEM?
Wish this were easier to check, there is a TSB with a similar sympton- no crank/no start- no communicaton- it referances a problem with FCM -(Frt Control Module), units dated before oct 3 2005- julian (2765)... need to be replaced.
will need to check date on FCM located on front of IPM (intergrated power Module).

Sounds like a classic bad battery or bad connection. Clean the terminals and have the battery load tested at Auto Zone or Cheaker for free. Personally I go to Auto Zone and they have the best battery warranty.
