Q: my battery will not hold charge both the battery and alternator were tested and found to be ok. the check engine light is on but the scanner found no codes. any help would be awesome was the alternator checked on the truck the regulator is part of the engine control module. i believe the 90 still has a seperate regulator. .

check for any screws that might be holding it in. i just removed my dash trim today 2002 durango to get at my radio i installed a wired fm modulator for satellite radio. i had to remove the fuse area cover and knee panel before removing the dash trim. needless to say it was a pain. dont know how the ram is setup but take a crawl under the steering column to look for any screws down there as well. you might want to check your local library for the chilton manual for your model year. theyre pretty good with instructions. good luck. i was trying to remove the dash trim bezel around the radio and figured i had better ask before breaking it. i thought it was just held in by snaps but it does not want to release. does anyone know the secret of getting it off thanks myles .
