#56 of 718 2003 dodge durango - engine light on by mtone Jan 06, 2006 (6:10 am)
Engine light went on and truck would not start. Gas cap was not properly closed (it had been loose for a couple of days). Once we "fixed" that problem, it took a few minutes and the truck re-started. Although the truck now starts without any hesitation, engine light remains on(I've been told that the the cap being loose may be the culprit and that it set off a sensor)...any ideas? thxs.

Replying to: rickster3 (Oct 04, 2005 2:42 pm) Exactly the same, replaced o2 sensors, then informed PCM module needed replacing, but found out this was not the problem, dealer talked with Dodge tech support & now they tell me the wiring harness needs replacing. Due to the power steering sensor leeking oil on the harness. I can not believe oil on a covered wire would create a short. Repair est. 1900.00, I will seek other means of repair.

#58 of 718 99 Durango..check engine light by pas379 Jan 11, 2006 (4:32 pm)
previous posting #47.... took the Durango back to the dealer. they now said it could be a cracked head.Had them pull the head and "YES" the head was cracked. saw it myself. hopefully this will fix the problem.....at a cost of $1400.00! For some reason the heater seems to be working better now also.
#59 of 718 Re: '99 Durango dash issues [ericstratton] by gheinonen Jan 13, 2006 (7:09 am)
Replying to: ericstratton (Nov 16, 2005 5:27 pm) ABS & Brake light caused by a ABS wheel sensor. I drove a '99 D for almost a year like this without any problem - ABS never worked on the D anyway. The speedometer problem (I'm told) is a vacuum problem on my truck caused by a leaking head gasket and I can't recall if the O2 sensor is also responsible, but I know its also getting replaced. I have been going through 2 quarts of oil between oil changes since this problem surfaced. My speedometer won't operate until the D reaches 20 MPH. Before this problem surfaced my D was doing really loud engine noise at start 0-20MPH (perhaps higher engine revs) until I reached 20 MPH when it would quiet down to normal engine noise. During this time my transmission would downshift when I made left hand turns at ANY speed. Then one day, the transmission quit down shifting at left hand turns, the engine noise at start went away and it ran normal for 6 months, but then the noise returned. Dealer head gasket repair $1,200 & ABS sensor $300 approx. Replies to this message: adriennet (Oct 30, 2007 11:08 am) tidester (Oct 30, 2007 1:54 pm) adriennet (Oct 30, 2007 3:26 pm) and 1 more...
#60 of 718 KEYLESS REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS by jules469 Jan 13, 2006 (8:41 pm)
I need instructions on how to re-program the keyless remote(FOB), for a 2003 Durango SXT (SPORT). I lost my manual during a move, and am trying to avoid the dealer's $40 charge for re-programming. Can anyone help?   Thanks, Replies to this message: ka9nyn (Jan 16, 2006 4:06 pm) big2thumbs (Feb 11, 2006 8:45 am)
#61 of 718 Durango Overheats and shuts of the Engine by halil Jan 14, 2006 (8:38 pm)
I have a 99 Dodge Durango.. Summer time in Florida it was overheating and cutting the power of the engine, after the engine cools of. you can start again, for this problem Mechanic changed the Gasket set, water pump. Took of the radiator and cleaned the radiator holes. Changed the spark plugs. But I am not sure if this fixed the problem? Because 1 month later I got my car from mechanic shop and the weather was colder because of weather was colder I did not see overheating. But I still have engine power cut of problem and I am thinking when the car was overheating it my damaged to some sensors and mechanic can not figure out the problem, Now when you drive the car about 15 miles it stops while you are driving. engine lights comes on.  After finely if I can pull the car to save side of the road before have a crush I stop. and try to start the car but there is no power goes to starter, I can have head lights and parking lights on everything is on ok.  But no power for starter and spark plucks, but if you wait 10 -15 minutes I can start the car again, So after the mechanic changed all those parts I thing still doing overheating but can not tell because the weather is colder now. And I thin when it was overheating summer time before all those parts chanced I thing overheating damaged some of the censors.  But I do not know what censors that could be. It cuts of the power only from starter and comes back on after it cools down and I know there is no problem with starter and the battery or any fuse. and there is no problem with the fan If anybody can help me with this problem I will be very thankful Replies to this message: scooter18 (Jan 24, 2006 10:42 am) adriennet (Oct 30, 2007 10:49 am)

#64 of 718 Re: High pitched noise under hood. [mitch10] by jules469 Jan 17, 2006 (8:57 pm)
Replying to: mitch10 (Nov 29, 2005 4:34 am) the same happened just days after I bought my 2003 durango. As silly as this may sound...more than likely it is the handle of your oil dipstick. the techs at the service center were baffled as to what was causing the noise...and finally came up with that solution. the handle of the stick is vibrating on the underside of the hood and wind---from the acceleration (beginning probably around 45-50 mph--getting worse with more speed) is causing the very loud and annoying whistle. try bending the handle of your dipstick down/off to the side. That may be your cure.
#65 of 718 Durango fuel filter by mviteo Jan 19, 2006 (7:48 pm)
I am having a problem with hesitation and would like to change the fuel filter,but,Dodge has made them unservicable.There is not one to be found anywhere on the vehicle,so I am assuming that it is in the fuel tank itself.My question is,has anyone tried to change one or found a way to remove it from the tank and replace it in line under the vehicle or under the hood?Thx.
