Asked by Amena Jun 08, 2019 at 08:44 PM about the 2010 Dodge Avenger R/T FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hello my 2010 avenger battery died when i was leaving
work i tried to start and no start no crack and no power
from battery. I left for work at 5 am car started fine then
went on lunch break at 12pm car was fine still . Well when i
came out at 4pm to leave car wouldn't start like battery was
dead. I got a jump (from the jumpstart piece thats under
the hood near the fuse box )  and car started after 20 mins i
drove 30 mins home and stopped at store on way home
and left car running once i got home i turned off and try to
turn back on immediately and no power so i look at battery
and noticed negative wire was snapped so i got it replaced
and still no power so i took battery to autozone to charge
for about 3 hrs when i picked it up they said it was good
battery took it home and put back in car and lights came on
i tried to turn on and battery was completely dead again i
tried to jump from another car and it started after 10 mins
so i turned off after a few mins then tried to restart it no
luck .   everytime i put jumper cables on positive cable no
lights no power at all but when i try from jump box lights
come on and when i turn key it clicks but when on battery.
Could this be the battery or something electrical ?

I had something similar, you have to take your car to the dealer for repair, if it is the computer system which is what my problem was.

Try having the battery charged...than load tested. That's true test of battery. Batteries can read 12 volts or higher but under load read defective/bad

@ shecam i dont think it's the computer because it started with a jump and the computer wouldnt allow it to drive 30 mins & @Mikbek i will have a friend do that .

It’s is a wire issue most likely a ground body wire near the drivers side headlight.
