I have that problem also, with the windows and stuff. I also had a starting issue but that was due to the system being poorly connected to the power distribution center and a faulty starter. But anyways, back to the windows, radio, etc. I thought it was because I needed a new battery also but I got my battery checked and they said it was fine. So if you ever get the problem fixed, please update. Thanks.

sounds like a parasitic drain...the new battery will be dead-as-a-doornail as well until we figured out that we left the map light on, or the hood courtesy light isn't switching off~...anyways a parasitic drain, because of the description~

...so we've got air, fuel and spark valve timing is going to be there because of the design of the 300~ fuel? spark? hey-yo we're still here y'know~

About 1 month ago my 2014 chrysler 300 would not start, it ended up needing a new fuel pump ( under warranty took it to dealership, all good). I went to start it today and it would not start, neighbor jumped started it and it went right over, I drove my daughter to and from work (40 minutes round trip) drove car back into garage and shut it off. Went to turn it back on and again it would not start. Today is Saturday evening so since it is under warranty they will tow it for free to dealership and check it out but stuck now until Monday uggg. This car has only 1900 miles on it and is kept in the garage and not driven a lot (obviously). could it be that the battery is just dead? Why should it be will only 1900 miles on the vehicle and kept in the garage ???

I had an issue with my 06 300 getting power to windows, headlights and such, but when you turn the key to on the motor would not turn, the starter made no sound. I thought a low battery replaced, replaced starter, spark plugs and a couple of other odds and ends. Then I took the negative battery cable off. At first glance it looked good. But the center of the wire was corroded out, that green with white dust kind. So I replaced the negative terminal and I have not had an issue with starting the car since.

On mine i switched relays with a known good, same relay as starter relay, no dice. Not every one has has the same problem on all their cars. Im no 30 year mechanic but i work on cars every week end. Had a saturn having the same issue last week. Getting power but nothing at key turn. Was a weak pump, you can hear it but not enough to get through fuel line. But i guess when you can fully diagnose a car with out touching or seeing the car dieselman every body else must seem like newbies with no experience.

It is possible that you got a bad alternator. I have a Mitsubishi endeavor that I got 2 bad alternators back to back. I kept chasing other issues thinking that there was no way that I got 2 bad ones in a row. I took the first bad one back to autozone and they said it was good. took it again and on the second test it failed. Then next one was kind of the same, but i had them test it 5 times back to back and the second one failed tests 3-5. I guess the QA guy was on vacation.

My wifes Chrysler 300 would not start with less than 60,00 miles already had to pay $1500 for new struts. purchase new battery and two days later again it would not start. took it in ti the dealer and they could not find anything wrong. after 3 days it again would not start and again took it into the dealer , so far after 1 1/82 weeks they still can not find the problem but agree it does have a drain on the battery. Who knows if they will ever fix it and at what cost!!!!
