Chrysler has isolated one possible reason for battery drain in these vehicles. The radio in these vehicles may not power down properly, causing the data communications buss to remain in the “awake” condition, which prevents that feature from turning off and going into a sleep mode. The continuous power draw drains the battery.
To confirm that the radio is the cause, enter the vehicle and close the windows and doors. Wait 30-40 seconds. Inspect the radio backlight. You’re looking for backlight flicker that occurs every 20 seconds. If you notice the flicker, proceed with the repair. If not, the radio is not the cause of the battery drain and you must pursue other possibilities.
To fix the problem, you must replace the radio. Return the old radio to the dealer and obtain an update replacement radio

Which one should YOU choose?
If you’re tracking down a wiring issue, Eautorepair.net is the better choice. Eautorepair.net redraws factory wiring diagrams in color and includes the component, splice and ground locations right in their diagrams. That saves a lot of time because you don’t have to refer back to the component locator or circuit locations. Alldatadiy.com, on the other hand, uses the factory diagrams. So you have to refer to the factory legends to learn the identification symbols and then refer back to circuit diagrams to find the splice and ground locations.
However, Alldatadiy.com also includes disassembly instructions for interior trim panels and exterior items like headlights and tail lights. If you need to dig into your doors, dash or console, Alldatadiy.com is the better choice because Eautorepair.net doesn’t any interior or exterior trim or body part removal.
