Hi Mike, Thanks XXX XXXXXXXXX. Money has been extremely tight and charging the battery twice a day for two months has been a hassle. My brother is a MB tech but Dodge are a nightmare for him so I thought I'd get him some help. He's in another city so it's not like I can ask him any questions for you.... but he did put a voltage checker on the battery and other places (Don't know where exactly) and the reading was about10 and just under the OK.

I thank you XXX XXXX advise and i would like to accept it. Is there any other possibility in case the wiring harness is in good shape?
