RoseC Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 So my 2011 Dodge Journey r/t 3.6 is having some sort of electrical problem my cars battery light came on first then literally all my other dashboard lights came on a few days after and once all the other lights came on my car quit working tried to start no crank or nothing just dead my cluster would rapidly flash and the language also changed on the cluster screen while this was all happening then all the lights turned off to once again repeat when I hit the ignition button, then it stopped picking up that my key fob was in the vehicle I had a friend of mine pull it with a tow strap to the house then tried to jump it and it didn’t even try to start then the next day we had it on a charger for a few hours and still nothing no crank or anything just a few clicking sounds coming from the fuse box.

John/Horace Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) Needs trouble shooting if battery and or alternator are bad. Low voltage can cause all sorts of weird dash lights, normal. If battery is more than 5 years old I would probably just change it. Always charge a new battery before install. When it’s running check what voltage alt is putting out. Should be 13.5-15 ish volts with several accessories running. Edited June 16, 2023 by John/Horace 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
