I had that happen with mine. Just take it for a bit of a drive and the light should go away. That's the easiest way to reset the system..
Seems like the factory starter is nothing but a piece of **** on these vehicles. Me along with quite a few other Mopar owners in town have nothing but problems with them.
Mine sometimes it'll run for 10 minutes, sometimes it'll run for 1 minutes, sometimes it wont even try to start despite the fact that the horn honks signifying it got the command.
However I can't justify the price for an aftermarket starter so I've just lived with it.
