See if that will reset everything but make sure all the fuses are installed properly.... Moparmike (in reply to dodgegirl67) Post #: 2

Moparmike is probably right. Searched other forms and it seems at times the smarts on these cars is just plane stupid. Some with this problem have let their car sit and after 20-30 minutes it started right up, no indication of what the problem was. Another go figure or pure frek'n magic (PFM). Hope this is all it is... good luck and may the Mopar Gods smile upon you. (in reply to moparmike) Post #: 4

We're going to hit 102+ today and I'm sure it gotta be hotter down there. Hope you got that baby under shade or in a garage. Sure hope it doesn't have to go the the stealership!
