So looks to have been a loose relay/fuse, wonder why the dealership didn't even check that. Seems to have been a simple fix. Really annoying when they don't even look.

I know I said I was done here, but! Hey D33K, where'd you get those fog lights that fit into the wide section of the bumper slot? Very nice, are they aftermarket?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, it failed to start again last evening. I turned it off, opended the hood and relay/fuse box lid and re-seated all of the fuses and relays. Most of them didn't seem to move much. I closed it back up, and it started.

:shocked: Now that you know where it's time to find out which one. Next time it does this try pushing one at a time and start in between each relay.

Have we tried disconnecting the battery? Then trying to start after you reconnect the battery.

Dig deeper into the PDC and check for burnt/loose connections.

Do one at a time to isolate the problem.

Can I get to the TIPM without special tools? I know it's in the bottom half of the fuse box.

Not yet. It's the same story at any Dodge dealer. If it doesn't exhibit the symptom for them they want look at it. Its intermittent, So we'll just drive it till it fails, I guess. I don't know that I have any other course of action I could take.
