My sprinter is a 2005 year but is on an RV chassis and is a 2007. From the first day I purchased the sprinter it has refused to start. I can go for several days with no starting problem then suddenly it will not start. Have been to three different Dodge-Sprinter service facilities and they are unable to identify any electrical problems. Have also been to three RV service centers, including the factory and they can detect no problem. The only comment is that I have a bad battery. I am now on the third battery and the problem still exists. The vehicle starts right up when electrical assist is hooked to the battery.
Typical occurance: Vehicle is driven for a period of time (one to several hours), shut it down to either eat or stop at a shopping center. Get back in and the battery is dead. Get a battery assist and it starts right up. Shut it off and it restarts without problem, until the next time.
My battery is not dead. Alternator has been checked out and Dodge says it is working properly. Does anyone have a similar problem or a good idea what might be happening? Any help will be appreciated. Dodge has been no help at all.
