How do you reset a check engine light on a 1997 Dodge Intrepid?

Pull the codes from the computer, match the code to the troubleshooting procedure, follow the procedure to find the source. Repair the source, light will go out if that was the only problem. There are "monitors" or self tests the computer runs the car through a drive cycle, if a problem occurs, it may not run all of the self tests until that problem is taken care. Therefore, another problem may exist. It is emission related. OR hook up a scanner that is capable of clearing codes, and hope that none are still active.

Unless you have a code checker with a reset switch, the easiest way to reset the light is just to remove the negative battery terminal for several minutes. That will usually do it. Also, you don't actually need a code checker to pull the codes. With the engine shut off, you can quickly turne the key back and forth twice between the OFF and RUN positions. On the third switch from off to run leave it in the run position. The engine light will flash one or more two-digit codes. For example, if the light blinks twice, then pauses, then blinks three more times that's error code 2-3. Answer Use a Auto Scanner tool,fallow easy step by step reading,note witch code number "show as " defected,possible sensor fail,after replaces,erase code using your Auto Scanner.Do it the same if another code number come out until none code number appear.You finish.

How do you change your tire on your 97 Dodge Intrepid took off all nuts and you can't pull it off?

The problem you describe is not uncommon on any vehicle on which the wheels have not been removed for a long time. Usually, the cause is RUST which has formed in the small space between the back side of the wheel and the surface of the axle hub wheel mounting flange. This thin layer of rust tends to bond the two surfaces together, sometimes making it almost impossible to break loose by hand. There are several ways to "crack" the rust film bond, releasing the wheel. I will suggest them in order of least violent to greatest. Regardless of method, before trying to break it loose, for the sake of SAFETY, reinstall all the lug nuts. Do not screw them down all the way, only 3 to 5 threads on. This will capture the wheel and prevent the possibility of the wheel "flying" off the vehicle when the bond breaks loose. It also will help to protect the threads on the studs. 1. Try kicking the tire at several places around its circumference. DO NOT kick it violently enough to knock the vehicle off of the jack or stands. I suggest that the jack be "backed up" with some kind of blocking beneath the axle or a-frame. 2. If 1 is not successful, take a hammer and carefully [so as not to damage the lugs or deform the wheel] tap all around the hub area [only where the wheel contacts the axle hub flange] of the wheel, which hopefully will break the rust film. 3. If 2 is unsuccessful. try applying something like penetrating oil, WD-40, Rust Buster, or a similar liquid product [available at all auto supply stores] which is designed to penetrate, loosen and free rusted parts. Follow the label directions, and make sure to apply to the cracks and crevices around the lug studs and the hole in the center of the wheel. This will enhance the penetration into the contact area between the back of the wheel and the axle hub flange. After allowing the rust treatment several minutes to penetrate and work, take the hammer again and carefully tap all around the wheel in the area between and around the studs and therefore over the area where the wheel and hub are in contact. At the same time, if you have someone else to assist, have them gently "rock" the tire while you tap the contact area. If none of these methods are successful, I suggest replacing the lug nuts, tighten them properly, and take your vehicle to a TIRE SHOP where the professional personnel are experienced in solving this problem. Good luck ! j3h

Where is the 2000 Dodge Intrepid cigarette lighter fuse?

OK.. at the very left side of the dashboard (where it butts up against the driver's door) there is a cover. Remove this cover and underneath is the fuse panel, called the "junction block".

Fuse #6 of this block (top right corner) is the fuse you need to check. The fuse might be installed into either 6A or 6B (if installed into 6A, the lighter has power all of the time. If installed into 6B, it only has power when the key is on). If the cigarette lighter socket is physically intact, but not working, then most likely this fuse is blown. You can pull it out and look at the small filament underneath the clear plastic. It should look like a small wire stretching from one terminal to the other. If it is burnt or broken then the fuse is bad.

These fuses are very inexpensive, usually less than a dollar or two, and any parts store should carry them.

Also keep in mind, a bad heating element in the cigarette lighter itself, loose change dropped down into the lighter socket, or a malfunctioning accessory (such as a cell phone charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket) can cause this fuse to blow, so if it blows again you need to pay attention to what you did when it happened so you can take the appropriate action.

How do you change a headlamp in a 2000 Dodge Intrepid?

This is easier than you think. I too thought I would just open the hood and twist out the old lamp from the housing. Then I realize you can not access the back. So this is how you do it. You will find two screws that look alike on each end of the complete housing. One is located just behind the leveler and the other is located close to the fender. When you unscrew them, you will find they are about 7"long. The the whole housing will come right out and you change the build like you would expect to. Dont call an expert...you can do it.
