Hello, my 2006 Dodge Charger (3.5 RT, 130,000, automatic transmission) was driving good recently when it suddenly turned off when accelerating through an intersection, I noticed the red battery warning was on.
After getting it towed to my local shop, I told him I discovered a clicking in the fusebox when the car broke down, he swapped out the battery and after getting charged for a diagnosis he tells me there is a wiring problem, but the car starts when we pull the relay from #31 in the fusebox so you can drive it home (This was his"fix")
Now the car only stays in first gear and I cannot go past 40mph, I've tried talking to the dealership and they wanna charge an arm and leg to discover the problem and I'm already out $500 for nothing except a temporary fix to drive the car locally.
Attaching picture and video, thanks in advance for your help I love my Charger and have had it over 10 years now.
Thanks - R

And here is a video of the clicking when the relay is plugged in.
