How do you adjust the headlights on a 1998 dodge stratus?
park your car/truck right in front of outside wall or garage door. Leave enough room to walk between bumper and wall comfortably. Now with lights on make small mark on the wall right in the center of light (best if done in the early morning or evening so lights spots are clearly visible yet not to dark to see.) Now back your vehicle 25-30 ft. Rite behind the headlights are adjustments screw/s one screw for dim/bright on same bulb, two if separate bulbs for dim/bright settings. Then you simply turn those screws until the marks you previously made on the wall are again in the line of the beam (best if 1 to 2 inches below mark so oncoming traffic isn't blinded

Why would a 96 Dodge Stratus make a clicking sound when you try to start it?
Cleaqn tha battery cables and make sure there is a good ground between the engine and body. Also the battery could be bad. First of all, make sure you dont have a dead battery. Second, make sure when the car is on, that the alternator is working and recharging the battery. If the connection to the starter motor is loose then your car will just click and no turn over. If the car does not start, then it could be merely anything... but if your car does start and it is clicking then you have a lifter problem, often found with most 1996-97 Dodge Vehicles, including the Stratus and the Earlier Caravans. This is not serious, but can be annoying.
2001 Dodge Stratus SE what type of oil does is require 30 or 40?
Listed in your owner's manual. I can tell you it is not a 40 weight oil. It will either be 5w30, or 10w30.
Answer5W-30 unless you live in the most southern states or Mexico then 10W-30Both bad Answers above!
Note: Oil is 5w30 the first number is the weight of the oil the following number after the w is the temp of the oil when the weight was taken. so the 40 is not the weight as stated above it is the temp when the viscosity of the oil will be number 5w or 10w etc. It should be 5w-30 for northern areas and 5w-40 for southern areas. I would not use 10w-30 or 10w-40 as this oil is twice as thick as 5w-30 or 5w-40, except in very extreme situations like living in death valley.
Where is the thermostat located on a 2004 dodge 2.7 l V6 engine?
It should be in the housing right behind the alternator. If you have a Sirrus or Stratus take it to the shop! If it's a Concorde or Intrepid you can fight it out of there but it's not fun, and usually you have to pull the alternator. Chryselr put the thermostat on the inlet end of the cooling system(lower radiator hose) to help reduce emissions on the engine. Nice spot for it!

How much does it cost to replace a computer in a 2001 dodge stratus?
The computer for a 4 cyl 2000 model is around $650.00 - $700.00. So I would guess about the same for a 2001 The computer will also have to "flashed" or programmed to fit you car's specific model and options. This usually cost another $100.00. If you take the car to the shop then your going spend $1000.00 or so. As far as I know, you can not purchase a new computer for this car. They are all refurbished. If your 2001 is a v6 model then the cost may be slightly different.

Dodge does not use inertia/reset switches.
Flush radiator for dodge stratus 2000?
Take the Drivers side "fog light" out(only 2 screws), and access the bottom raidiator hose behind the light. Loosen the clamp and pull the hose away from the raidiator until drained completely, put hose back on, refill with water, then drain again.(repeat as much as needed until flushed to your desire) I prefer to run the engine a few minutes between flushes, but "YOU MUST MAKE SURE ENGINE HAS COOLED" before draining the fluid.

How do you reset the oil light on a 2001 Dodge Stratus?
this probably not the way the dealer would do it but it will save you about 100 bucks disconnect the ground wire to the battery now you dont have to actually disconnect it from the battery itself disconnect it up top where the jumper leads are and leave off for about a minute then reconnect and the oil light should be off bad thing is that you have to reset all your fav radio stations but it beats paying the dealer an arm and a leg to turn it off for you!

How do you change plugs and wires on a Dodge Durango?
Changing spark plugs on the 4.7 liter engine is relatively straightforward, and in some ways much easier than other engines. The plugs are vertically oriented which makes them a lot easier to get to. This engine is unique in that it has a coil on each spark plug. The coils slip over the spark plug and have a retainer that goes over a stud on the head. The coil must be removed to gain access to the plug. The image below shows a closeup of the coil of the #1 cylinder. The Factory Service Manual states that you should ONLY use spark plugs with a copper electrode and with the same number and heat range as the OEM plugs or detonation will occur. The factory spark plugs are Champion RC12MCC4. All plugs should be gapped to 0.040" Remove the air hat from the throttle body (8mm bolts on the hose clamps between the air hat and air box, another one on the hose clamp around the throttle body).
# EACH plug has a coil on it. Use a compressor or a can of air to blow all the debris from around the coil.
# Unclip the electrical connector by pressing down on the clip on top of the connector and then pulling the connector off.
# Use a 10mm socket to remove the bolt that holds the coil to the block (CAUTION! Don't drop the nut or you may never see it again!)
# Twist the coil slightly while pulling up and remove it from the plug. There is an O-ring around the coil. Make sure it is not damaged. If it is nicked or torn replace it. The Mopar part number for the 2000 4.7L engine ignition coil O-ring is 05015297AA and the cost (on 12/03) is about $3.30 each.
# Use a compressor or a can of air to blow all the debris from around the plug. They are deeply recessed into the head and vertically aligned. Anything in the recess is going to fall down into the cylinder when you pull the plug!
# Use a standard 5/8" spark plug socket (I highly recommend that you use one with a foam insert that holds the plug!) to remove the plug.
# Install the new plug and torgue to 20 ft lb. BE VERY CAREFUL when starting the plug and make SURE it does not cross-thread. The plug recesses make it a little hard to mess up, but be careful anyway. The heads are aluminum so do not over-tighten the plugs!
# If you have some, spread a little silicone grease on the coil O-ring. Reinstall the coil, and the coil retainer nut. Reinstall the coil electrical connector.
# Repeat steps 2 - 9 seven more times.
# Reinstall the air hat and reconnect the tube to the air box. The number 8 cylinder is the tough one for me. The dip stick tube for the transmission gets in the way of removing the coil and the plug itself is tucked back under the firewall slightly. You'll need a swivel for that one. Cylinders 3 and 4 are also slightly tough. There are some metallic hoses going across the block (A/C or something, I never really looked). You will need to unclip the retainers that hold them down, and then spread the hoses a bit to be able to get the coil between them.
