A couple weeks ago I replaced the alternator on my with a brand new one. The WTS comes on normally now, no delay. It's been working fine for two weeks. Hopefully that solved my problem. Happy, happy!

 

About a week ago, I also replaced all the battery cables (2/0), new crimped ends, all ground wires, and used military style battery clamps. This might also help since my original clamps and cables were looking bad. 

 

Much thanks to this forum for the great information it provides.

I did all that same thing, except I rebuilt and had tested my alternator.... Then I got a new ECM to remedy the wait to start

Make sure to test for the AC noise level out of the alternator. Then you want to do the W-T ground wire mod. While you there you might do the PCM protection fuse too.

Mopar1973Man,

Thanks for the suggestions. What is the W-T ground wire mod? Some time ago I removed the ground wire from the loom that runs from the passenger side battery across the alternator and re-routed it over the radiator and enclosed it in a metal braided hose. That didn't seem to solve any of the problems. Is that what the W-T ground wire mod is?

 

I don't know what the PCM fuse mod is? Can you enlighten me?

 

I sure hope I'm not hi-jacking this thread too much. Let me know and I'll start a new one if needed.

 

Thanks again,

Buzz

The original version from WT. He explains it well here. Some folks have hard time getting thru the in depth explanation so @Mopar1973Man shortened it. It is more involved than just moving the ground, but it is easy to do and worth the effort.

Well, the WTS light delay issue has returned. Based on the recommendations here, I called ACS, Auto Computer Specialists. I will send my ECM off to them.

 

I also got a P0122 code this time (APPS low voltage). Is that caused by the bad ECM?

 

Thanks,

Buzz
