the truck is a 2000 durango r/t. went to leave to run errands saturday and the battery was dead, its less then a year old so i figured i musta left the dome light on. put it on the charger for about 20 minutes and she fired right up. we headed out and after about 5 minutes of driving the dinger dinged and the gauge cluster went through the same motions as if i just started the truck. then they dropped to zero, once in a while they would bounce the fall back. then they would work again and the dinger dinged and they fell back to zero. now on the odometer (electronic) it went from shoing the mileage to "NO BUS".
never heard of it before. took it to autozone and everything checked out, alternator, battery, fuses etc so he called a buddy of his. the guy said he thinks there an inline or fusable link somewwhere in the wiring from the alternator. does this sound right? the truck ran fine and started up great between stores. then this morning the battery was dead again. how should i approach this? i looked along the wiring for the alternator and didnt see anything rembling a fusable link or inline bus fuse. id like to fix it withough taking it in cause i cant really afford it. thanks in advance to whomever helps out
