Then you need a shop that canDid they do a Parasitic Current Drain Test?

Here's an article that may be helpful. Not sure of the bolt size, I'd just put a few sockets on and see what fits best.https://itstillruns.com/instructions-replace-thermostat-dodge-stratus-6720842.html

Right think the problem is the heater core is blocked with corrosion ,now remove the bottom hose from the rad and the heater hoses then flush every which way you can including through the heater core reversing direction then ,refit all the hoses fill with water only and see if heater works if so the remove the bottom hose again and drain ,then add a minium of 3 litres of antifreeze ,its a anti corrosion agent as well as antifreeze and without it the internal of the engine will corrode and the slurry will block the heater first then the radiator ,

My 2000 jeep started doing this and found it was the driver door wiring , it goes used a lot and the wiring goes bad , also stereo speakers on the same line started to go bad. I just removed the fuse to the power lock and all is ok. Just dont have power locks anymore unless you want to pay $$$ to fix it or you can fix it yourself. Mine started to unlock and re-lock, something you dont want......hope this helped a little.

The crankshaft sensor is behind the timing belt cover just above the harmonic balancer

pully, no. You will need to loosen the motor mount however. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=011TSb4UEc4

Did you test for B+ voltage at heavier gage wire on the back of the alternator ? Also pin 1 at the connector, a orange with dark green stripe wire should have B+ voltage . Fuse #25 20amp in the under hood fuse box. The heavier gage wire has a fusible link in the wire , comes from starter solenoid . The last wire in the connector , a dark green wire comes from the PCM - engine computer . You can replace the alternator how ever many times you like , but if there is any B+ voltage at the place's I mentioned it's not going to charge ! Plus if the PCM is turning it on it's not going to work . There are videos on youtube for testing charging systems.

ITS THE SWITCH! New Ac Control switch worked out great for my 02 Stratus.. $150 on rockauto.

were is fuel filter st on a dodge stratus 2001 4dr 2.4L DOHC

You will get your solution and all info on service info, repair info, parts info, wiring/electrical/fuse diagrams, error/fault codes, torque specs, PCV, , owner's/service/repair/parts/maintenance manuals etc everything this website www.reliable-store.com

check acc fuze and cig lighter check to see if anything else is not working, check for power to switch.

An engine needs 3 things to run...air, fuel, and compression....but they also need to happen at the correct time. If you have verified that the engine not only has enough fuel pressure to operate the injectors, but that the injectors are firing. That all of the spark plugs are getting fire, and that each of the cylinders have enough compression to run. I would think you have to check your timing marks.

My thought would be to look at the u joints and drive line. When driving the car and it makes the thumbing sound shift to natural, if the sound stops it is probably in drive line.

Probably loses either gas or spark. So check fuel pressure when it won't start, and check for spark on a plug wire. If fuel pressure is low, probably a bad pump. If no spark, diagnose the ignition system: coils, ignition coil control module (ICM), crank position sensor, etc. An easy way to see if you lost gas, is to spray carb cleaner or starting fluid into the air intake while cranking engine. If it rumbles and tries to start, you know it is a fueling problem.

Sounds like the air conditioning system is low on refrigerant. Low pressure switch is causing it to stop working, OR, the HIGH pressure switch is doing it. I have seen OVER CHARGED systems act this way, also.

Change all your relays,especially in the engine bay,check your idler control valve/servo for faulty or short circuited.Also check all the fuse boxes for contamination,Spray with circuit board cleaner or something similar.

It depends on why it is stuck,. There is a cable in the door that raises and lowers the window. IF the cable is misfed on the roller or it is jammed on a pulley then you cannot move the window at all by pulling on it. If the cable is broken or has slack then you could raise it but it will fall back down.

Do the basic tests. If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the plugs. If spark everywhere use a gage and check proper fuel pressure and fuel injector pulse. Any applicable trouble codes?
