The solenoid was the culprit. I'm not sure exactly how, but it seemed to either Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:14:34 GMT wuzadoo http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6470 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6470 Well, it happened again. And there IS such a thing as the starter relay. It's in a separate compartment behind the PDC that is easily seen. I changed the Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:59:12 GMT wuzadoo http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6469 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6469 My daughter's '98 Breeze had a no-start condition last week. Upon examination, one 20A mini fuse (#8) in the PDC was burned out. A friend of hers replaced it Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:32:57 GMT tiztakman http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6468 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6468 I have to agree with the posts about working on cloud cars. I have a '98 Stratus with the 2.7 engine and I like to think of myself as a "shade-tree" mechanic.

I have an '04 Sebring with the 2.7. It is at the shop today for a new water Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:22:28 GMT cx04332 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6465 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6465 I have a new to me 97 Status. It developed the infamous #8 fuse burnout. I could not figure out what was going on with the factory manual. I put it in the shop Fri, 18 Sep 2009 14:55:14 GMT mygpw http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6464 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6464 I tried all key positions, push and holding mileage reset button 20-30 sec, nothing. I have done this on other Dodges and it does work, just not on this Fri, 18 Sep 2009 12:48:02 GMT mygpw http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6463 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6463 Thanks, Its worth a try. I'll post the results.

I learned a trick from one of the minivan forums that solved Fri, 18 Sep 2009 03:26:26 GMT mygpw http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6461 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6461 I'm not new, just don't post. seems everyone is bored so: The other day my RPM gauge spun completely around to the pin and my mileage indicator only works Fri, 18 Sep 2009 01:30:29 GMT wuzadoo http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6460 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/stratuscirrusownersclub/message/6460 I noticed the extreme lack of activity. I hope things pick up!
