Best Answer

your oil pressure is lower when the vehicle is idling, could be low do to lack of oil, when was the last time the oil was changed? could also be fuel in the oil. any other problems? I've also had this problem in a 1998 Stratus, and the oil is not low. I'm suspecting the oil pump is going bad, but I haven't looked in the manual yet to find where it is/what it runs off of. -jb9081

First step is to have the code read by a reader. Whatever the code refers to needs attention. Try removing the negative terminal from the battery, waiting 10 minutes and putting it back on - see if it goes away. If it stays on, or reappears later, you have an issue somewhere.

How do you change wiper blades on a dodge stratus?

The first, important step is to buy the correct-fitting replacements. Dodge changed the wiper configuration over the years as well as on different "trim's", for example sedan vs. coupe.Additionally, the installation process is simple. The replacement wiper blades will come with step-by-step, illustrated instructions and once you have the instructions and the wiper blades/arms in your hands and in front of you, it will all make better sense and will an easy maintenance task. Essentially, the old blades snap right off easily and the new blades will snap back on just as easy. Very simple and takes 5-15 minutes usually not requiring any tools.Also on a 2002 -2006 stratus the blade sizes are,driver side 24",passenger side 21".On 1995-2001 wipers size is 22" for both.
