ees

Here is my problem along the same lines - DOGE 2004 Durango hemi 5.7

1) Battery connected - clicking relays - flickering dashboard and gauge lights
2) Not able to jumpstart - zero cranking

3) Battery voltage disconnected 12.8v
4) Battery Voltage connected around 6.8 volts and lots of relays clicking

So sure maybe the battery is drained - due to something else sucking the life out of it This does not explain why a jumpstart does not work and based on item 4) something is shorted and pulling down the voltage.

So I need help to quickly diagnose this dude, before I get screwed on Monday taking it into the dealer. Wife blames me, of course, for the problem - jees


Any help needed please respond with any and all ideas - I have read others on this but "replace battery" is not the root cause if the problem again based on 4)

Remove the right kick panel and check the ground straps on the post. If the ground strap is looseit will cause the relays to make a clicking sounds and the lights to flash.
