100% electrical loss - 5/6/2008 9:19:49 PM    erichodges   Posts: 1 Status: offline I have a 2001 Intrepid with the 4 cylinder engine.  About 6 months ago, I came out of a store and when I went to start it, the electrical system went completely dead - - no dome light, clock, radio, everything.  We jump started it and it ran like nothing was wrong.  No more problems until this week 6 months later.  We noticed the dome and all other electrical seemed normal until I started to turn the key and then dead - - immediately jump started and all seems normal again. The batter is only 18 months old and no warning lights come on before or after the problem. A friend had a Pathfinder that had same symptoms due to a faulty relay.  The Dodge mechanics said they couldn't tell anything without the problem occuring.  HELP!!!! Post #: 1

Since it works when u jump it, I dont think its a relay issue or anything like that, Im guessin maybe a Lemon battery. _____________________________ 1999 ram sport 4x4 single cab V8 5.9 (in reply to kurts2) Post #: 3
