How do you adjust the headlights on a Dodge Stratus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To adjust the headlights on a Dodge Stratus, locate the headlight adjustment screws on the back of the headlight assembly. There are usually two screws per headlight, one for vertical and another for horizontal adjustment. Park the car on a level surface facing a wall about 25 feet away. Turn on the headlights and mark the center of each beam on the wall. Use a screwdriver or a wrench to turn the adjustment screws, aligning the beams with the marks. The horizontal screw adjusts side-to-side alignment, while the vertical screw controls up-and-down positioning. Aim for a level, even beam pattern to ensure proper visibility without blinding oncoming drivers. Regularly check and adjust headlights to maintain optimal visibility and safety.

What causes the fuse for the dash lights and tail lights to blow on a 1998 dodge stratus?

Asked by Wiki User

Check the plug-in for the trailer lights, if it has one. If not, check the Headlight switch. It probably has a burnt wire.

Why does a 99 dodge stratus keep blowing 20 amp starter ign fuse when trying to start?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unhook the wires on the starter, replace the fuse, turn the ingnition key on as if you were going to start the car. If the fuse does not blow, it is your starter. I just had this problem with a 1996 Dodge Stratus. I replaced the stater and it now works.

Dodge Stratus Radio?

Asked by Wiki User

My wife has an '04 so I hope this helps you: get to the station you want. Hit the set button on the far right. Tap the number you want to set it at, or tap it twice to set it to the next number.

I mean that it acts like this:

1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10 (when the first number is tapped twice)

so that you will actually be able to program 10 stations.
Hope this helps, good luck.

The diagram of location of battery of 1998 dodge stratus?

User Avatar

Asked by Cassidy

I do not have a diagram, but I do have a '98 Dodge Stratus. My battery is in front of the driver's side front tire.

You have to put the car up on jacks and remove the driver's side front tire, then remove a plastic cover plate, and the battery will be behind that.

It's incredibly difficult and it makes no sense to me, but there you have it.

Have a water leak on a 2005 Dodge Stratus Need to know how to repair and where it might be coming from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This isn't easy to answer. It could be leaking from many places. Common places to check are the hoses from the radiator, the radiator itself, the hoses leading to the heater core toward the fire wall, the water pump could also be faling. Try putting the vehicle on a clean piece of cardboard over night. The next morning see where it is dripping and trace it back to the source. That is about all the advice I can offer w/o knowing eactly where it is comming from. Hope this helps.

If it is leaking into the car, it is from your air conditioner drain tube. There is a service bulletin on it. Check with your dodge dealer or try the following....

OVERVIEW:

This bulletin involves drying the carpet and dash panel silencer pad and installing a revised

HVAC drain tube.

DIAGNOSIS:

Inspect the front passenger side carpet starting at the bottom of HVAC unit, if it is wet

perform the Repair Procedure.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:

1. Use the procedures outlined in TechCONNECT to remove the carpet,

2. Hang the carpet so the front portion is at the bottom and let air dry (having a fan blow

on it will speed the process).

3. Use a utility knife or similar device to cut the dash panel silencer pad as follows:

a. Cut just below the bottom of the HVAC housing from the side cowl (kick) panel

across to the transmission tunnel.

b. Cut along the transmission tunnel from the dash panel rearward and to the end of

the pad.

4. Remove the cut portion of the dash panel silencer pad and squeeze any excess water

from the pad.

5. Hang the dash panel silencer pad and let it air dry.

6. Wipe up any excess water that may be in the passenger foot well area and dry with a

towel.

7. Raise the vehicle on an appropriate hoist.

8. Remove the HVAC drain tube from the dash panel by squeezing and pulling on the

tube near the dash panel.

2 - NOTE HOW FAR ADAPTER IS PUSHED ON PIPE

3 - FOAM SEAL IS LIGHTLY COMPRESSED

4 - SEAL DASH PANEL OPENING WITH P/N 04467708 SILICONE SEALER

9. Install drain tube adapter, p/n 05191188AA, onto the HVAC drain nipple, (Fig. 1).

10. Install the revised drain tube, p/n 05264688, onto the drain tube adapter so the down

tube is positioned at 7 o'clock when looking toward the rear of the vehicle.

11. Seal the opening in the dash panel where the HVAC drain tube passes through with

RTV sealer, p/n 04467708.

12. Lower the vehicle.

13. After the section dash panel silencer pad has dried determine if there is any

objectionable odor. If no odor is detected reuse the original pad. If there is an

objectionable odor, use the original pad cutout as a template to cut replacement pad

from p/n 04787422AC.

14. Adhere the dash panel silencer pad to the floor pan with a small amount of RTV

sealer, p/n 04467708, and apply duct tape to the cut seam of the dash panel silencer

pad.

15. After the carpet has dried determine if there is any objectionable odor. If no odor is

detected reuse the original carpet. If there is an objectionable odor, use the

appropriate MOPAR parts catalog to determine the correct replacement carpet.

16. Use the procedures outlined in TechCONNECT to install the carpet,

What should I do if I added 1 quart too many to my stratus 3.0?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You could remove the oil filter and depending on size would probably have 1/2 qt in it. Drain the oil filter and replace it and then run the engine, shut it off and recheck your level. If you are still over you could do it again. Otherwise you will have to take out the drain plug and when you think you got a quart out try to get the plug back in but this is a lot messier and you have to be quick and lucky to hit it beofer all the oil comes out. Try the oil filter trick.
