300M --- Electronics go mad?

Hi,



first I think the battery is empty when my 300M is not starting and the radio needs a code input. But something else seems to go wrong...


1st.: If I drive about 160 km/h and i switch on the high beam light it's like a smash on the whole car and it is driving 20 km/h slower...


2nd.: The ABS-Light is going on


3rd.: The lights (inside and outside) is flickering

Can this be solved by a new battery? Or do you think I need a new electric generator?



Did you let your battery changed by chrysler? I think this is rather difficult...



Regards, Eckhard

First you should check cable-connections, battery-cable terminals, generator terminal and ground cable to the engine.

Start with ensuring both the positive and negative remote terminals are good, clean, and tight. That's a known trouble area and only takes a minute to fix with a wrench. Then check the battery connections. Then consider testing/replacing the battery.

Hi,

I know found out that the battery was dead. But fixing the contacts is not sooo easy. For removing the battery we needed to dismount the right front wheel...
