Stage 1 battery light and WGA - SRT Forums

texwill · 03-05-2008, 01:58 PM

I was under the impression that when you buy a Stage 1 PCM from an 05, for an 05, and send it to Flight systems to have it reflashed; you will not get the battery light. Well I am getting the light. I put it in yesterday. I checked the battery with the volt meter but all was good, I was worried about the battery being over charged of course! Anyone able to help with what I should do?

Lastly, I want to put my Kinetics WGA on but is there any thing special I need to do? The Mopar WGA has the crooked bar on it and the Kinetics has the straight adjustable bar. Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

You should NOT have a battery light on. The only reason for the battery light to be on as a result of a stage kit is installing a kit from an 03/04 into an 05. Not the other way around, or for the correct year.

Did you make sure your battery warmer was plugged in? When I put in my Stage 2 I for got to plug it in and had the same problem. Just my experience.

There is a blanket that goes around the battery. The sensor is connected to this blanket. Is the blanket not there?

His is an 05.... no battery warmer. The only way you'd have a battery light is using an 03/04 PCM in an 05 car.

So there, I have a $20 fix for that.

Paypal $20 to speedandpowerdevelopment@gmail.com

We have the battery light fix.. just put "battery fix" in the comments.

We basically need to wire in a resistor to mimic a temp. This does affect the charging of your battery.

DAMMIT!! Oh well, the price we pay for buying over the net, grrrrrrr!! Thanks for the replies, and the help. Are the full instructions included, and is it somewhat easy to do? Does it take anything away from the car? Money is sent.

I sent you that link to the how-to I believe.
