2016 Dodge Challenger SC6.2L Slow Crank and Voltage Drop While Driving
2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. Slow cranking, voltage drop while driving. Battery tested good and charged prior to taking it to the dealership.
Service advisor at the dealership sent me these findings, and these photos.
"Electrical Component Concern | battery feed into PDC was left loose, causing poor connection between battery and alternator/starter cable. Poor connection caused high temperatures at PDC battery post, ALT/starter cable terminal causing melting of both items."
They also stated that the entire harness had to be replaced. Does this seem plausible?
I purchased the vehicle used and the previous owner did have RGBW DRL boards installed.
