Its had other electrical problems not related to the HIDs previously. Im not saying the warranty should cover it, Im just not understanding why it caused all these problems
Fuse should have blown. Very strange take it to a professional installer like senior stereo or anything like that and have them look at it. They will know why it blew
Ran aftermarket HID's on my 07 300c (essentially the same wiring) for three years, no relays used, just Capacitor Adapter Harness's. Ran fine, never had any issues.
OK, just so I understand this, you or someone else installed an aftermarket part and you claim that the aftermarket part caused the problem. But you want your warranty to cover the damage crated by your use of aftermarket parts.
Then you admit "I shoulda known to have taken the kit out and went back to stock before towing it in". Why? To commit fraud against Dodge and the dealer that has to put up with you.
Then you state "Im just really pissed off this challenger seems to continuously have electrical problems." It sounds like you have caused and created the problems.
For newer 2008+ Dodge cars do not add electrical loads to the TIPM unit. All factory adjustments are programmed into this unit. Adding anything non OEM and not programmed ensures it will go boom - if not now eventually in the future! Run new wires from battery and make your own fuse box for a few bucks.

yeah they said it was the TIPM, so this thing is to blame? I got the kit thru ddm tuning website, so what I'm gathering is if i don't do something to adjust this, if i were to add an aftermarket sound system which will surely cause voltage fluctuations then this thing will short out again?
and also I've had some issues electrically related to grounding problems
It was an aftermarket kit as i don't have projectors. Ive had hits for years like I've said in my truck and never once encountered problems with a kit or fuses blowing. but I've had several problems with the challenger and these damn hid aftermarket kits, I shoulda known to have taken the kit out and went back to stock before towing it in. Im just really pissed off this challenger seems to continuously have electrical problems.
Just a thought here but if you had not modified your Dodge by adding aftermarket HID headlights, maybe it would not have so many electrical problems. Maybe the next vehicle your purchase will have factory installed (and warrantied) HID headlights.
