I wonder if it's still under warranty. Sounds like an electrical issue?

the relay itself is the only problem i've had it make a clicking noise when i turn the car off that i'm told is from the relay if that helps... its not under warranty so should i takeit to the dodge dealer down here or would it be the same to just take it to a mechanic? will the dealer charge to look at it since its not under warranty?

I would NOT take it to the dealer. Take it to a mechanic you trust and know, if you can. Ask some people if they know a mechanic they trust.

simple answer.... the dealership will overcharge for anything and everything. Something they do. They will make you pay to bring it in and get it looked over.

Go the way das said. It is cheaper and they will work on it properly.

if you have to take it somewhere, take it to a corporate garage. dealers charge to much for parts and privet owned are known for fixing whats not broke.
