Where is the shift solenoid on-in a 2000 Dodge Stratus 2.4L?
How to fix multiple cylinder misfire in a 1997 dodge stratus?
A cylinder misfire can be cause by a bad spark plug or a bad fuel injector. Replace the spark plug to see if the problem is corrected.
Starter fuse keeps blowing in 1999 Dodge Dakota?
Fuses That "Blow" Repeatedly
Without being able to "hands on" troubleshoot the circuit served by the repeatedly blowing fuse, none of us can identify the specific defect which is causing your problem.
Therefore, the following generic answer can be applied to any electrical circuit, whether in a vehicle, or in a building, whether direct current [DC], or alternating current [AC].
Fuses [and Circuit Breakers] are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] and other components from short circuit conditions and/or overload conditions which cause an extremely large flow of electrical current [measured in Amperes], which causes overheating of the conductors that results in damage to the insulation and the conductors.
And in a worst case scenario, the probability of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle, house, or other structure in which the circuit is located.
When a fuse or Circuit Breaker [and replacement fuses, or repeatedly "tripping" Circuit Breakers] "blow," especially if it happens repeatedly, is an indication of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit, usually a short.
The fuse or circuit breaker is doing what it was designed, intended, and installed to do; that is to protect the conductors and components of the circuit which it serves.
The proper "fix" for this issue is for a qualified technician, who knows what he or she is doing, to troubleshoot the involved circuit, find and identify the defect, and make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse or before resetting a circuit breaker].
Some ignorant few people will suggest installing a larger fuse or breaker to solve the problem, BUT that will only increase the hazard, not correct it.
Do not follow "bad" advice by installing a larger fuse in a misguided attempt to correct the problem. To install an oversized fuse would almost guarantee damage to the wiring and the probability of an electrical system fire.
What is a P0513 trouble code for a 2004 Dodge Stratus?
Trouble code P0513 means:Incorrect immobilizer key
How do you change camshaft sensor 2003 stratus 2.4 liter?
Follow the below steps to replace the camshaft sensor 2003 stratus:
1) Loosen the two bolts securing the air inlet resonator, the large plastic component that the air filter outlet tube connects to, using a ratchet and socket. Now, pull the air filter outlet tube from the air filter housing.
2) Pull the oil separator tube from the air filter outlet tube using a slight twisting motion. Remove the air filter outlet tube and resonator from the engine compartment, exposing the camshaft position sensor.
3) Unplug the camshaft position sensor's wiring harness. Remove the screws securing the camshaft position sensor using a ratchet and socket.
4) Remove the screw securing the camshaft magnet to the camshaft using a ratchet and Allen-bit
socket. Then, pull the magnet from the end of the camshaft.
5) Line up the dowel pins on the new camshaft magnet, which comes with the new camshaft position sensor, with the locating holes on the end of the camshaft; then, place the camshaft sensor back onto the cylinder head in the same position it was in prior to removal.
6) Press the air filter outlet tube onto the outlet on the air filter box, then tighten the hose clamp to between 20 and 30 inch-pounds.
Guide the resonator's hose onto the inlet on the throttle body and tighten the hose clamp to between 20 and 30 inch-pounds.
7) Set the resonator in place on top of the engine, aligning its bolt holes with those on top of the engine.
What is the transmission fluid capacity of 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan with a 3.3L engine?
5 quarts for filter service, 9 quarts approx for dry fill.
Where is the blower motor resistor on a dodge stratus?
It is next to the blower motor underneath / behind the glove box. It is held on by two screws and has a 4 or 5 wire electrical connector plugged into it. you will find it in the air box, inexpensive to replace. I jury rigged mine for a month by driving a screw through the area that had the break in the printed circuit resister. High speed bypasses the resistor pack so at least that is always available in the meantime.
Is a 2006 dodge stratus a good car?
it depends on how well it was taken care of, being a 2006 yes it is new and should not show any problems whatsoever but it is new and long term tests couldn't be finished by now because it jsut came out. make sure to read the warranty and change its fluids often. do that and it should last 15 + years
How do you remove the rear speakers in a 1997 extended cab dodge Dakota?
Do all 1999 dodge stratus have a reset switch?
Dodge does not use inertia/reset switches.
Dodge does not use inertia/reset switches.
Why would 01 Stratus have transmission leak after wheel bearing replacement?
When the wheel bearing was replaced did the axel get pulled out of the transmission ? it might not be all the way in ,or it could of hit the seal and tore it !
What are the set points for the timing belt on a 2001 Dodge Stratus?
On a dual overhead cam: the marks will align at 3:00 on the left cam to 9:00 on the right cam. The lower crankshaft gear will line up at 12:00 with the arrow on the engine corresponding to the arrow on the crank.
Where is the oil sending unit on a 2003 dodge stratus?
The oil sending unit on a 2003 Dodge Stratus is located on the side of the oil pan. It is under the heat shield.
P0610 Control Module Vehicle Options Incorrect PCMs typically fail for one of two reasons: voltage overloads (often due to a short in a solenoid or actuator circuit) or environmental factors (corrosion, thermal stress or vibration). If the shorted solenoid or actuator is not found and repaired, the voltage overload it creates may damage the replacement PCM, too. As for environmental factors, water is the main thing to avoid. If water gets inside a PCM, it can short circuits and set up irreversible corrosion that ruins electronic connections. Most remanufacturers will not even attempt to repair a PCM if the vehicle it came out of was submerged in a flood. Replacement is the only option. Thermal stress and vibration can form microcracks in circuit boards (which are repairable). This often has more to due with the ruggedness of the circuit design than operation factors in the vehicle itself. Because a powertrain control module can be very expensive to replace, almost all aftermarket replacement PCMs are "remanufactured" units. A PCM is not rebuilt in the same way that an alternator or water pump is rebuilt because there are no mechanical parts that wear out. Remanufacturing in this case usually means testing the powertrain control module, isolating and repairing any faults that may be found, then retesting the powert5ain control module to make sure everything works correctly. A remanufactured PCM is typically sold one of two ways: on an exchange basis from stock, or on a custom rebuild basis. If a particular PCM is not in stock or is unavailable, you may be able to send an old PCM to a remanufacturer for repair. Turn around time is typically a few days and the cost is about the same as an exchange unit except there is no core charge). The hard part is finding a remanufacturer who can test and repair your powertrain control module. Hope this helps, from website.
Which car is faster the Dodge Stratus RT or the Pontiac GTP?
Take it from someone who owns both: 1999 GTP and 2001 RT
The R/T has no where near the amount of acceleration the GTP has. This is not even debatable.
I love both, but speed wise? The GTP by a land slide.
AnswerGTP for sure.Fastest R/T in DragTimes database is 15.6 sec. 1/4 mile, and the slowest GTP is 15.4 sec.
Answeri just recently purchased a 03 RT (5spd), and i traded in a 97 supercharged 3.8l Buick (same exact set up as the gtp) and i think the rt is faster and alot funner. AnswerThe gtp is faster due to the fact that it has a power adder (supercharger) and the stratus does not. Answerthe GTP is alot faster it has a supercharger on it and is getting 240 horsepower stock. Answerchryslers break faster then any other car on the road, so i wouldn't suggest racing or anything that might strain the engine, even daily driving. from my experience with there products just about everything is of low quality...transmissions, engines, paint, and the entire fit and finish. i have seen a dodge ram go through 3 transmissions, 2 driveshafts, all sorts of interior finish problems all in 30,000 miles...the list goes on.-EDIT- Generally, the Stratus R/T may be using the 3.0 liter engine. This engine and transmission combo is made by Mitsubishi and is the same on the Mitsubishi Eclipse of the same year. It is NOT a Mopar engine and doesn't tend to break like one.
--EDIT: Only the 2.7 has major mechanical issues (Sludge). The 3.5L, 5.7 and 6.1 are fine.
AnswerThe new gtp has 260 hp and will easily beat the rt Answergtp for sureIs it difficult to replace the front shocks on a 1998 Dodge Stratus?
It doesn't have shocks, it has struts. Yes it is a very difficult and possibly dangerous job, that is best left up to the experts.
the "DUD: that left the reply up here needs to be banned.
improved error here:
not really a difficult task. time TOOLS and a little know HOW.
TIME about 1-2 hours depending on your tools ans expertise( along with your garage set up.)
TOOLS.. tire remover, standard sockets and wrenches, and spring compressors.
how to:
1. jack car and open hood.
2. remove tire.
3. under hood "loosen" the NUT holding the top of the strut.
4. remove the nuts/ bolts holding the bottom of the strut.
styles differ here, so the description is vague. SORRY.
(could also be a structure to remove)
5. remove the assembly from the car.
6. apply the spring compressors to the spring and compress evenly.
7. finish removing the NUT loosened in step 3, remove the strut from the center of the coil spring.
order the pieces for reconstruction, for later
8. make NOTE of the location of the pieces, sometimes there is a particular direction the parts need to be in for best results.. ( see 99 grand am)
9. re assemble in reverse order, with exception to the NUT. feel free to snug it up as tight as possible during "exterior" assembly.
10, now that you have re assembled the shock/ coil spring/ and top half of the parts and dust cover. put it back in the car and finish assembly.
11. double check your work.
12. attache your tire and remove JACK. torque your wheel to correct foot pounds. about 100.
SEE YA.
