#32 of 41 cruise control problem by gcsexton Apr 21, 2008 (4:47 am)
I have a 2005 Chrysler 300 limited. I recently took it to a dealer to have my computer reset because of flickering lights. (There is a TSB about this) However, when I picked up my car my cruise control no longer works. Any body else had this problem?
#33 of 41 Chrysler 300 dead battery by shiron Mar 15, 2009 (6:00 pm)
Our 2005 Chrysler 300 has had the battery replaced twice under warranty. Dealer advised dead cell each time. 13 Jan 09, it died again and I replaced the battery with a larger, stronger after market battery for half the price. The dealer wanted $270.00 for a new battery and $80.00 to install it. 15 Mar 09 after sitting for five days I now have a dead battery again. Has anyone found what is wrong with these vehicle to cause so many dead batteries?
#34 of 41 2005 Chrysler 300 dead battery by depete May 15, 2009 (9:41 am)
I have my car towed in 6 time in the last 4 months. The dealer has replaced the battery 5 times and one alternator. If the car sits for more than 48 hours it will not start . Two dealers have run every test they know of and cannot find the problem. Anyone have any suggestions? Replies to this message: smithed (May 20, 2009 7:30 am)

Replying to: depete (May 15, 2009 9:41 am) You have a short somewhere. The dealer is not the best place to have this looked at. There are auto electric shops that are more experienced than the techs at the dealer in finding this.
#36 of 41 Rear Center Brake Light by silverflash Jun 23, 2009 (1:14 pm)
Simple question - Have an 07 300C - Have had a large moth and a few flies get into the rear center brake light receptacle, and quietly pass away! In order to give them a decent burial I need to get them out of there, but no one, not even the dealer, seems to have a clue about getting inside there. Are the insects smarter than us? Need some help!!!

Replying to: xtec (Apr 13, 2008 10:46 am) It is very unlikely that you got 2 bad batteries. You probably have what is called a "parasitic" load. That means something is drawing the power from the battery AFTER you turn off everything and leave the car. You can test the car yourself for a parasitic load with a simple 12 volt test light.   Disconnect the NEGATIVE battery cable and hook up a test light BETWEEN the cable you just took off and the battery post. You are going to need a helper to do this test. Attach the test light clip to the battery cable you just disconnected and the other end to the battery post. This puts the battery back in service but only for testing purposes. If the test light comes on and it most likely will, then you have a parasitic load which confirms why the battery is going dead.   Now, while the test light is ON, start removing fuses one at a time until the light goes off. Also, remove any relays if the problem isn't found with the fuses. When the light goes OFF, that is the circuit that is killing the battery because it is still drawing power. Have that circuit checked if you don't know how.   If all testing fails to turn offf the test light, the Alternator could be the problem. If you know how to get to the Alternator, disconnect the large power wire from the back side. (This is a live wire when the battery cables are both attached). This large power wire is usually held onto the Alternator by a #10 Metric nut. Disconnect the wire and if the light goes out, you need an Alternator. Good luck!
#38 of 41 cd/navigation problem by jlb182 Aug 07, 2009 (5:43 pm)
i recently purchased a 2006 300. The radio, screen, and navi all work perfectly, but when i try and put in a cd i'll push the load button then the disc number and all that comes up on the screen is "Disc Error" when i haven't even put a cd in the player yet. Has anyone had this problem or maybe know of a solution? Replies to this message: lacade (Aug 11, 2009 1:35 pm)

Replying to: jlb182 (Aug 07, 2009 5:43 pm) Had the same thing happen to me just yesterday. It seems like a mechanical problem. I gave mine a good whack (and I mean good) and it loads, ejects and plays CDs again.

Replying to: kass1 (Jan 23, 2007 6:00 am) Did you ever find out the problem, I have an 05 Chrysler 300 with electrical problems that will not stay charged for more than an hour or two, and none of my dash lights work, and sunroof has a short in it to.

Replying to: rprice0036 (Oct 27, 2009 6:22 pm) While under warranty, the dealer could not duplicate the problem, thus could not find a resolution. The battery seems to hold a charge now, as long as the car is driven every few days or so. I took the car into another Chrysler dealer after a two week vacation and coming home to a dead battery. The battery was recharged before I went to the dealer and low and behold, they COULD replicate the problem...noting that the battery continued to have a drain when the key was off and removed from the vehicle. Unfortunately, the dealer informed me that they would need to remove the panel & dash to investigate further and it could cost upwards of $1500 to figure out which component was pulling from the battery and to repair. ...I now carry jumper cables everywhere I go.
