Drivers side running lights front and back will not go off after turning car off and removing the key.lancerymer - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire - Preventive Maintenance - 5/19/2013-
5/19/2013 HouseCallAutoI would say that the most likely cause here is a bad illumination control module. Also known as a "headlamp switch". Unfortunately, this part costs almost $500 and also is a fuse box. Takes about an hour to replace if everything goes smooth, maybe longer if something beats you up. The part # is 5098638AA and is only available new from the dealer parts dept. Probability here is greater than 99%.

2003 VOYAGER HEAT GAGE SPIKED, THEN BACK TO NORMAL. NOW SPORADIC HEATrceverertt - 2003 Chrysler Voyager - Preventive Maintenance - 2/8/2013Yesterday( 2/7)had no heat after 10 minute warm up. while driving heat gage spiked at red, soon as i stoped it went back to normal and has stayed there for 2 days. however, after the iitial spike had no heat. checked coolant level..had about 4 inches above ...-
2/8/2013 HouseCallAutoIt sounds to me like you are adding coolant to the overflow tank and not the radiator. if this is the case then that is why you have this going on. (there is no "max line" visual on the radiator) and I aso believe you have a coolant leak that still remains undiscovered. Check the cooling pipe that go to the rear heater if it has a rear heater. Those pipes rust out just behind the R/Front tire. And yes, a bad stat is always possible. But my gut feeling says that is not your cause here.
2/9/2013 rcevererttThanks. i did add coolant to the radiator itself as well. Checked it the next day and was still visible to the top..yet no heat from inside vents. Additionally noticed much longer for engine to warm up ,once it did the aux fan came on. ref leak. I,looked,found fresh leaked coolant around the undercarriage and inside front right engine compartment , cant see exact where its from and while running nothing shows. Monday appt w/shop.
2/9/2013 HouseCallAutoLikely water pump or heater hose

The check engine light doesn't have to be ON to store a fault code.
Check the vehicle for fault codes to see if there are any sensors were involved to the malfunction of the engine.
1.Local auto parts stores such as Autozone ( not in California) or Advance Auto parts will scan and retrieve any diagnostic trouble codes ( dtc ) stored in the powertrain control module for free of charge..
2. Amazon.com has the code reader for less than $20.00 dollars.
3.Re-post the dtc's in here " answer question " for further assistance.
Note: we need the dtc's to identify the sensor, there are a dozen different sensors to operate the car.
Visit this site and see all the different sensors.

I hear like a dragging sometimes from the right front tirejazzyjet2 - 2002 Chrysler Sebring - Preventive Maintenance - 1/4/2013had new brake pads and rotor installed in June and struts. It happens when slowing down and not all of the time.-
8/15/2012 Oberth1Is your plastic fender well touching the tire at all? Your brake caliper might not be bolted on tight and shifting ever so slightly, or the material its made out of is noisier than your used to. Another option could be something (little rock) wedged between the pad and rotor (it happens) and your hearing that rub.

1/4/2013 jazzyjet2My check engine light came on after I turned the ignition off but the car kept running and even idled. It took several tries to get it turned off. Please help me with this -
1/4/2013 rickBefore we can do much you need to have the check engine light checked . We need to know why it's on . It might tell us everything we need to know .It can be done for free at most parts stores .

1/7/2013 jazzyjet2Many codes came up! They said the codes meant nothing really and he had never seen this before. My issue is that it never happened until they fixed the catlic converter.
