Hello all,

My girlfriend has a 2006 Dodge Stratus SXT. Last night when we went to dinner, it ran fine. We came out two hours later, and the car would start, then die about 2 seconds later. It did that about 3 times. Then it wouldn't start at all. The little red light in between the fuel gauge, and the speedometer started blinking red. We towed it home and left it sit. She called the dodge dealer ship, and they said to have the battery checked. It was taken out and showed as fine. We put it back in, and it started fine, and has ran fine ever since.

Has anyone else had this problem? What does this light mean? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like disconnecting the battery possibly 'reset' something. Sometimes you can reset codes in your computer by doing this. Does the car have an aftermarket security system? I'm wondering if that is what you red light is and possibly removing the battery reset it. Just some thoughts, without looking at your car.

Also, if your car has coded keys, and you tried to start it with a key thats uncoded, it would act exactly like that. Start for a second, then die.
