OBD light
hey fellow srt-owners!
ive been away at school and just got home for spring break. not gonna lie but eyes watered up when i got home and saw my skittle chillin in the driveway.
i have a little problem. i turned on my car today and saw the OBD light turn on and stay on. i read thru the manual and was a bit unsure as to what it could be. i know that it can be triggered by a dead battery. my dad told me that last week he went to turn it on and it wouldnt start (loose battery cable). last time before that was about 3 weeks ago. im guessin it has to do with the battery but i trust the people here more than anyone else. any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

RE: OBD light
don't take it in unless you need to. if the engine light is on that means that you've thrown a code. turn the key to the "on" position three times while holding down the key lock without actually turning on the car. the code will pop up on your odometer. let us know what it is and we'll take it from there.
