What could be draining my battery? 2014 Chrysler 200 LX

Had the battery changed twice, had alternator changed twice. Now the battery is testing bad. We could rule out the voltage regulator because that, on this car, is connected to the alternator. Could it really be bad battery cables? My mechanic says no but he hasn’t checked the inside of the cables for corrosion. He’s just assuming they are good based off of the outside condition of the cables. I’m having it checked out professionally soon for a diagnosis, just wanted to see what you guys thought and brainstorm. (There is a recall on it for the occupant restraint control module also….) Not sure what that is.

2002 Sebring 2.7

I’m having the issue where blinkers/wipers don’t work unless the car is in auxiliary. I replaced relays and fuses, replaced the multifunction switch and still nothing. It seems to be a common problem but the common fixes haven’t worked. Any ideas?

2012 Town and Country Rear A/C leak

My A/C went out and took it to a shop. They are quoting $3000 to repair. They have the rear evaporator core ($700) expansion valve ($240), all new rear lines ($1150) plus labor and tax. To me this makes no sense if it’s the lines why would they also replace the evaporator and the expansion valve. If it’s the evaporator and the expansion valve why would I need to replace the lines?

Looking at parts on rockauto I see the evaporator for $50 and the valve for anywhere from $12-$25. I also see valves for $125 but these seem to be the front system. Similar I find evaporators $370, appears to be the rear with expansion valve but says valve not included. Am I wrong or are the parts I need closer to $75 for the evaporator and valve than $940?

I have also noticed adds from a company offering replacement rear lines that are high pressure hoses vs metal. Seems risky and easy to nick or cut. Anyone with knowledge or experience, are there any good?

I am fairly handy but I am limited in my knowledge of cars and hvac, how hard is it to do myself? I’ve watched some videos on replacing the evaporator and valve and that seems well within my skill. My concerns are running new lines and charging the system after. Any advice or places to look for this would be appreciated. I’m not sure I’m watching quality YouTube’s.

Is it worth just changing the evaporator and valve myself and seeing if it holds a vacuum before even considered the line?

Alternator and Transmission Issues

I have a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country Van with a 3.8L engine. Recently the alternator went bad but at the same time I started having transmission issues (wouldn't go into high gear). Is it possible that the transmission is fine and just getting the alternator fixed will solve my transmission problem?

Chrysler Centennial / Century of Chrysler

Under Chrysler and DaimlerChrysler, everyone knew Chrysler was born in 1924. Fiat moved the date to 1925 somewhat arbitrarily... but to celebrate this year, I've written a book, called Century of Chrysler, about the first hundred years. It starts with the creation story and moves on through the years, drawing on interviews, my time at allpar, and so forth. The best buy is the IOS version on Apple Books, but there are Kindle, hardcover, and softcover versions too, the later only at Amazon.

I invite you to take a look... https://amzn.to/3Bdmmcw

Stupid Town and Country

My 2015 Town and Country minivan needs a new engine. This feels like bullshit. It only has 100k miles. Is this what we have to accept these days? It will get donated but feels like I've been cheated out of at least 50k miles, maybe 150k. Grrrr Chrysler.

Misfire on cylinder two in a 3.6 Pentastar

I’m trying to figure out a cylinder two misfire in my wife’s 2014 Town and Country. It’s slightly noticeable at idle, it’s still drives well. I’ve replaced all of the plugs, coils, and injectors. Last year I replaced a couple of bad rocker arms, and checked all of the ones that I didn’t replace, so I wouldn’t think that would be an issue. I don’t have the rocker tick either. What are my next steps, a compression test?

Sorry also for the format of the post, but only one URL can be put in a post in a normal way. Thanks in advance for any help :)

Chrysler Sebring backlight

Hey y’all, I’ve got a 2007 Chrysler Sebring and the backlight went out again after I got it fixed, the place tested the cluster over and over again and determined the cluster itself isn’t the issue, it’s likely something wrong with the car. I’m no where ready to get a new car or get this fixed, I work night shift which means I need the light. Is there anyone who can recommend some button lights or something I can put under the cluster itself so I can at least see? Something that’ll get me home. Thanks.

1989 lebaron project engine issue

Edit: Sorry I somehow made the post wrong.original post Here's a link to a post on my profile of the issue with video but... It didn't start without fluid and didn't stay running longer than about a minute. So I went to replace the pump, ended up replacing the pump, sending unit, lines, filter, fuelrail, injectors-etc whole fuel system minus the evap system and charcoal canister and such. It now starts and runs but very rough. It's surging when it gets full throttle but sounds ok when it's got partial throttle.

2006 Chrysler Town and Country electrical issues

I have a 2006 Chrysler Town and Country. Heat and AC in the rear, but nothing in the front. It is not the blower motor as that was just replaced. Any suggestions/advice. I’d love to be able to defrost my front windshield before the snow flies.

Drivers and front passenger doors lock and unlock with automatic lock as does trunk, but rear doors do not. Radio, cd player, and cassette deck work fine. Wipers are good.

But no heat or AC in the front. And it’s not the blower motor.

Advice?

I want to change the engine assembly from my Chrysler 200 3.6L V6 2014 to a 2015 and up engine assembly. I can weld can do mechanical work and can learn electrical work.

I know it’s possible, but I need a guide on how to do it. I’ll film everything along the way. My plan is to take measurements of both 2014 and 2015 models, or any models after 2015, and see which one is closest to the 2014. Since I’m doing it all myself, my costs will be really low. Yes, safety is a factor, but I think it’ll work out. Plus, I’m only swapping the engine assembly, so it shouldn’t be too complicated. If it does get too crazy, I’ll just go with a different engine and say ‘fuck it.’

CAR DETAILS It’s a Chrysler 200, 3.6L V6, with 213,219 km.

ENGINE PROBLEM The rollers slipped and the rods aren’t working properly casing timing issues and such, causing a knocking and ticking noise. This means the timing will be off and could cause misfires, eventually destroying the engine.

WORK DONE ON THE CAR I’ve already replaced the oil cooler, but I should have taken care of the spark plugs and other things while I was down there. When removing the engine head cap, I was told the threads might come off with them, which would mean I’d have to replace the engine anyway.

OPTIONS FOR FIXING

1.	Take apart my current engine, which is manageable, but I have to hope there’s no long-term damage.
2.	Buy a new engine—but if I’m getting a new one, I want to upgrade it.

CONSIDERATIONS The car has 210k km, and I live in Alberta, Canada, where winters can hit -40°C (-40°F) and summers range from 25°C (77°F) to 30°C (86°F)

Pacifica performance mods

Hi

I want to do some performance mods that are not too expensive. I know there is gonna ton of people that are gonna respond to this with anger but I don’t care . Yes I get, it’s Pacifica but I’m stuck with this car for a very long time so I might as well make it enjoyable. I’m 18 so anything helps. If you don’t have anything useful to say then please don’t leave a hate comment.

P0344 Codes and Camshaft Sensor Replacement

Hey all, I’m having some trouble with my engine and have come to the conclusion that changing the camshaft sensor is the best fix although I’m not sure.

So yesterday, my engine started sputtering on the highway shortly after the check engine light came on. Checked the codes and it threw up a P0344. I had been running it on low gas for a while as things have been rather tight lately but after fueling up and putting some gas treatment in it the sputtering calmed down and doesn’t seem to happen anymore. The engine light is still on though. After watching videos of what to do, I’ve come to the conclusion that changing the Sensor is the best bet. Any thoughts or idea?

Edit: I have an 07 Chrysler Sebring Touring with a 2.7

Issue with starter or heat?

I started having a problem with my 2.7 liter, 2006 Chrysler Sebring. If I drive it, I might not be able to turn it over again when I need to leave wherever I went. I still have power, I can turn on vents and roll the windows down. I've seen a common issue is fuses, or the bushing on the transmission cable. But I'm able to start the car either the next day or several hours later. My aunt who gave me the car recalled there was a starting issue before, but can't recall what it was.
