2021 Durango R/T battery warning light

[Paladin06]

The wife’s Durango battery warning light came on last week. Knowing we got the car new in Aug 21 I thought well it’s the battery. I replaced the battery. One week later the warning light is back on. Any ideas or thoughts appreciated.

Thx

I assume it did. Perhaps not!

I assume it did. Perhaps not!

I'd check that first...

 

[Paladin06]

I noted when I looked up the alternator at Steve White parts it’s called a Generator. That’s strange.

 

[Paladin06]

I'd check that first...

Can it charge it now? I have the equipment.

I'd just put a 10amp charge on it...

Does your Durango have that second battery for the Start/Stop function???

If so, perhaps the light is for the second battery and not the one you replaced???

Hey Bull,

Nope just the one.

My 21 r/t is having so many issues I'm about to get rid of it

Did you check or replace the battery sense sensor?

Ours has been good other than the front rotors, the recall on the exhaust manifolds and now this charging problem. What are you seeing?

I’m not aware of this part. Can you share some details? Location, test process and cost?

There's a recall on them?? I'll have to get mine done. Headlight turn signal went out requirement replacement if the entire headlight, service uconnect box message, and blown rear load leveling shocks

The battery cable connects to it and that clamps onto the battery terminal
