FCA no-crank after service: auxiliary battery and power-distribution checks. See the manufacturer document, vehicle conditions, exclusions and questions for a qualified shop before assuming a repair.
This is a research summary of a manufacturer communication, not a diagnosis for your car, a DIY repair procedure or confirmation of warranty or recall eligibility. No qualified technician has approved a repair for your individual vehicle here.
This historical communication is conditional. The current revision, VIN/build eligibility, measured diagnosis and any warranty or recall decision are not established here. Ask the manufacturer or a qualified shop to check the complete current document.
Read the FCA US original: No crank: auxiliary battery and fuse connections · Check open recalls by VIN at NHTSA Source date: 2025-04; research checked: 2026-11-01.
What prompted this manufacturer document
- No crank/no start
- Stop/start unavailable after service or jump-start
- This STAR experience record asks the technician to inspect main/auxiliary battery connections and power-distribution fuse paths. It does not establish a diagnosis for every similar vehicle.
Which vehicle conditions must be checked
Each row below retains its own conditions. Do not combine engines, years or models across rows to create new applications. A listed model is not proof that a particular VIN is affected.
- FCA US · year not established
- No explicit model/year applicability table was found; public model pages are blocked.
Codes recorded in this document
A root listed only as an appearance has no separately verified meaning here. Preserve every suffix and module name; a shared root does not transfer a repair branch to another vehicle.
| Root | Raw form | Meaning in this source, if established |
|---|---|---|
| P00FD | P00FD-00 | Battery B state-of-charge performance indication |
| P2AF5 | P2AF5 | Starter relay 3 appears stuck on |
| P2AF6 | P2AF6 | Starter relay 3 appears stuck off |
What an owner can record safely
- Exact work or jump-start preceding the problem
- Full code suffixes
- Battery replacement history
Editorial safety boundary for this system
Smoke, hot wiring, melted fuse area, stalling or loss of vehicle control requires stopping and assistance.
- Use current model-specific service information, calibrated equipment and a qualified technician for the selected diagnostic branch.
- Do not bridge fuses, increase fuse rating, probe unknown high-current circuits, or permanently disable telematics.
This is a conservative editorial policy, not a manufacturer safe-to-drive decision for a specific vehicle.
What the source does not prove
- Do not map this source to Jeep, Ram or a specific model from a logo alone. Do not upsell a starter without circuit diagnosis.
- A code or message alone does not establish a failed part, a safe-to-drive decision or an approved repair for this VIN.
- A service bulletin is not automatically a recall or free warranty repair. Confirm current eligibility directly.
Questions for the repair shop
- Which current manufacturer procedure, VIN/RPO/build gate and test result determine the diagnostic branch?
- Does a later revision or a current recall change the source's original advice?
- What measurement or inspection confirms the cause, and how will the repair be verified?
Open source-review issue
- Q3-03: STAR record lacks a model/year table. Internal research only; never assign to Jeep/Ram/Dodge models from brand familiarity.
The uncertain field is not used here to claim a current fitment, repair or market-wide failure.
