2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Battery Temo sensor

[TGriffith]

Hi,

I'm having issues with my batteries charging, I 've tracked it down the the battery temp sensor being bad. my questions are



1. besides direct from the dealer, any suggestion on where to get one? most of the generic parts store have no clue what I'm asking for, and the dealer is very expensive .



2. second question is, my Jeep has a module under the battery that looks exactly the same. Any one know if they are? To me it makes sense that they would be (production cost savings for DC)



Thanks

Terry

... the dealer is very expensive ...

I don't know what you mean by very expensive - the following is from an online dealer:

It's likely that they are.

Just unplug it. It will simply slow down your charge rate.

The price that I was given by the local dealer was $58...

I guess I need to find a different Dodge dealer.

Thanks
