The computer! Disconnect the negative of battery, put the key in the ignition like you were to start the engine and press the gas pedal 3 times, take they key off and connect the negative of the battery again..

I think is like that, maybe someone will verify/correct this....

It sounds like your Central Timing Module is shot. This controls most electronics in the cab and when it goes out crazy things like this happen. Unfortunately, there is really no fix other than replacing it and getting it reflashed. Dakota Raven is on the rich track and you might get lucky by resetting the PCM and it will reset the CTM.

To do this process, it's a little different than Raven states. To do it on the Durango take the negative connection off the battery and clear out of the way. Turn the headlight swith on and turn the key to START as if you were going to start it up and hold it there. Once you've held it there for 30 seconds turn the headlights off and take the key out of the ignition. Replace the negative cable and start the engine.
Leave it running for 15 seconds and turn it off. Turn it back on and you can drive like you normally do and everything will now be reset.

Hopefully this works for you!

Widow knows exactly what's going on, your CTM is done. It also controls the wiper delay timing based on vehicle speed so it's connected to the wipers too. Your wireless key fobs are also talking with the CTM directly.

On my 98 model you don't have to program the CTM except for making it learn the old key fobs, on your newer 2002 you probably have to take it into the dealer for them to program it and they will get the key fobs programmed for you too.

If you're lucky just go to a salvage yard and pull the CTM and install it yourself, you'll save at least $350 right there.
