2000 Dodge Stratus electrical system problems

“MY DODGE STRATUS STARTED BLOWING HORN WITHOUT ME TOUCHING. EVERYTIME I TURN THE WHEEL THE HORN BLOWS. THEN TWO DAYS LATER THE LIGHT CAME IN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OFF. THEN LOCKS START GOING UP AND DOWN AND DOOR MAKE BEEP AS IF A DOOR HIS OPEN. I HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSES TO STOP HORN FROM BLOWING, CUT INSIDE LIGHTS OFF AND STOP LOCKS FROM GOING UP AND DOWN. THE CAR STILL MAKES BEEP NOISE AS IF DOOR OPEN WHOLE TIME DRIVING AND STOPS AND START BACK WHEN I HIT A BUMP. MY FRONT WHEEL MAKING A NOISE AS IF THE WHEEL IS GOING TO BREAK OFF ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT IS ALSO DRINKING GAS AS IF IT IS LEAKING. I DONT SEE ANY GAS ON THE GROUND BUT I CAN SMELL FUMES OFF AND ONE AND SOMETIMES UNDER THE HOOD. IT IS LIKE I AM LOSING GAS PRESSURE BECAUSE CAR STALLS AND I AM LOSING GAS SOMEWHERE. *TR”

“HAD DODGE STRATUS 2000 ES FOR TEN YEARS. MILEAGE AT APPROXIMATELY 53,000. THIS YEAR WHEN INTERIOR HOT THE FOLLOWING DO NOT WORK: WINDSHIELD WIPERS, DASH GAUGES, SECURITY SYSTEM, DASH INDICATOR FOR TRANSMISSION GEAR, COOL AIR THROUGH AIR CONDITIONER. SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING THIS PROBLEMS HAPPENS AND AM UNABLE TO SEE WHAT GEAR CAR IS IN, WHAT SPEED, FUEL LEFT, WIPERS NOT FUNCTIONING ALL WHICH ARE SAFETY ISSUES. WHEN INTERIOR COOL, ALL FUNCTIONS RETURN. WORKED WITH A GOOD MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED FAULTY BODY CONTROL MODULE ALSO CALLED A MULTI FUNCTION MODULE. $750 DOLLARS LATER, CAR OK. *TR”

“MY 2000 DODGE STRATUS SE I HAVE HAD FOR ABOUT 5YRS NOW EXCELLENT RUNNING CAR BUT HAS STARTED MAKING ITS OWN DECISIONS WHEN IT COMES TO COLD AIR IN THE SUMMER,MILEAGE,DOOR LOCKS & SPEED. IF YOU WANT COLD AIR IN THE SUMMER TIME THEN YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE YOUR WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN AND YOU ARE PARKED IN THE SHADE. IF NOT YOU WILL DRIVE AROUND UNTIL THE SUN GOES DOWN AND THE CAR IS COOL ENOUGH FOR THE GAUGES AND AIR TO KICK BACK ON. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL MECHANICS ABOUT THIS AND NO ONE CAN COME UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR IT. I LOVE MY CAR AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON!!!!!! *TR”
