Sorry for your loss, man.
If you live life worried about the what ifs you're gonna have a boring life, just my 2 cents.
You could die of a fall while walking out your front door, doesn't you ever will.

Just like anything else in life its a calculated risk.

Situational awareness is key, along with being seen by drivers so they know who, and what you are, i will ride with my high beams on so a person does not mistake me for a car that is farther away than i really am. That one change has completely stopped the "OMG i didn't see you" quotes people use, cause they are used to looking for cars and not motorcycles. Listen, i may piss some people off with the use of high beams, and my life is more important than your discomfort for a few seconds, and i see other bikers doing the same thing as me and have no anger towards them as i fully understand what it means to ride as safe as we can.

in Either i didnt use the dmm the right way or its more complicated than i thought lol. My dmm read 11.5 v on the battery while car completely off. Figured the battery was fine and something technical was wrong. Scheduled an apt at the dealers and a towing from AAA. Aaa said they could come take a look at it and see if they can help any. They hooked up a charge and the car started less than 10s after they hooked it up!? Lol wtf. The guy said the battery was really low, around 7v!? He said his machine simulates the car starting up or something, thats why my dmm read 11.5v but his charge machine read 7v??? Whats the deal wih that, can someone explain how that works just so i know a lil more.
His machine also shows the alternator is fine so he thinks i mustve left a light on or something and thats why it was dead in the morning. Glad thats sorted out for now. Hopefully thats all it was. How do i make sure my battery is good? If it went down to 7v is it gonna be able to hold this charge? After a few mins of being hooked up it was back to 12v. seems super fast .

Yah i was checking out that video. Apparently the cheap walmart dmm i got wont be good enough to get accurate readings, testing the probes on ohms it was all over the place and high. So just gonna wait till im off to go get a fluke dmm. I also got a battery charger so ill be charging the battery the checking for a parasitic draw. Hopefully its that easy to find.

I can tell you right now that dodges of that era had a shit load of wiring problems, ask me how i know......
Mine ended up being a bunch of faulty wiring underneath the dash.
Take it to a GOOD auto electric shop and let them figure it out.

Thats messed up broke lol. Yah ive gotten several "recall" notices over the years and had to take the car in. The best shop i think i have around here is the dealership. I have an appointment with them on Wednesday if i dont figure it out by then.

pens agaDamn car crapped out on me this morning. Went to leave for work this morning and the car wouldnt start. Could it be because my battery is low? I dont know if its low but its never not started.
Since my rear seat is removed i can hear the truck compartment where my stock battery and fuse box is. When i turn the key over the dash lights come on and the trunk area makes a "click click click click click click" sound really fast for a couple seconds then everything goes off, then if i try again it does exactly the same but shuts off even quicker. What do ya'll think it is??? I gotta try to fix it when i get home from work.

Yeah check battery first. Next would probably be a starter solenoid. I only work on older vehicles so I'm not even sure if newer ones have the solenoid.

Alright ill pick up a digital multi meter. Would the dmm be able to tell if my alternator is putting out sufficient power to charge the battery? My coworker brought up a good point to check the alternator. I dont beleive the battery should've died. I think maybe becuase i dont drive alot (works less than a mile away, maybe even a mile round trip) that my battery weakens a lil from not being driven for long periods of time to keep it charged. The car is running for maybe an hour- hour half total per week on average.
