Yeah i have a 95 dodge stratus es 2.5l i have the dtc 35, 53, 36 the car is stuck in limp mode. where can i find more info on these dtc. in my haynes manual 35 says its a open or short in the radiator fan relay which the fan kicks on and off every 10 seconds or so when the car isnt even hott. but would this cause this to go in limp mode?? i mean it kinda makes since that the tcm wouldnt let it go over a certain speed because it doesnt want the motor to blow up since the fan isnt working correctly. or am i just on the wrong track here

RE: Dtc 35, 53, 36
"53 Logic module internal problem" On the older cars they called it the logic module, than they started calling it the PCM.
I couldn't tell you where it's located at on your car. My only suggestion would be the go to a junk yard, pick up one out of a comperable car (that is, one with the same engine and tranny as yours, usually a vehicle within a few model years of yours will also work in yours, so you would not necessairly have to get one from a 1995).
Remember, when disconnected or connecting the connectors from the PCM / logic module, MAKE SURE YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY!! You could end of frying the replacement unit.
As far as the code "35 Rad Fan control relay circuit," I couldn't tell you for sure. I know that on my 1996 Dakota, the 2.5L engine is the only engine that has this relay (not the V-6 or V-8). The ground for this relay is provided via the PCM. When the PCM grounds the relay, the contacts close and send power to the fan. You should consult your manual to see what fuses the power comes from, and where the grounds are (for the PCM and for the radiator fan itself.)
It does sound, however, like you will need to swap out the PCM. When doing this, again, make sure to disconnect the nagative battery cable from the battery. Also, track down the actual ground the PCM connects to, and make sure it is in good shape. (ie. remove the bolt, and make sure there is no rust or corrosion) Also, when reattaching the connectors to the PCM, carefully inspect all the pins for corossion, pins being bent, etc. and repair as need.
