2020 Hellcat having confusing battery issue please advise.

[Selminus]

I have had mine for about 18 months and it's often been very annoying to get the car to actually turn off in the past. You seem to have to press the button more than once sometimes. Last night, I noticed the screen was on behind the steering well saying to press the brake and press the button when I went into my garage. I got in, toggled it and made sure the car wasn't expecting to start. Got out, locked it. Battery dead, again, this morning. What gives? Why is this so complicated in 2023?

What would cause a vehicle to stay on when there is no fab, no phone or human in it and it's locked? I have zero accessories that use power.

What does Delray Beach and Indian burial grounds have to do with a dead battery?

BTW, he needs to take it to the dealer, so they can check it out.

He lives in Delray Beach (famous burial grounds for thousands of slaughtered).. Blackfoot and Seminoles..and they just might not like the sound of his HC...yer right ..the dealer may be able to confirm this

I just learned something. Never knew about the slaughter. Who killed who?

Meanwhile, the Sirius has stopped working in the 'Cat at some point.

They said they'd send a refresher signal, so yesterday I turned the ignition on. No radio, but for a split second it had what looked like a keypad on the screen...then it wanted me to start the engine.

Does it really want me to cold start it for no reason?!? I can do without the music, but will not cold start the engine (even if it sounds far better than most of what's on the radio).

We canceled Sirius when they kept harping on getting vaxxed. We now use pandora and put up with the ads.

I usually cancel it (and the insurance) over winter, but this time I forgot. It's as if the radio and the 'Cat are angry because sittiing the garage they haven't been able to communicate with anybody for a while.

The on air "personalities" kept saying it over and over. I tired of it.

 

[Jimmy N.]

On music channels??

Never mind. I now see that they have an NPR channel.

I could see that. Don't recall the station I listen to them saying it but if they did my brain didn't hear it

I’d say take it to the dealer. I had a battery drain issue as well that seemed more software related than hardware.. I updated my u connect and its magically working now. My symptoms were totally different but you never know. You guys are hilarious btw😂😂

there can be a little talking here and there but nothing like regular radio
