07 4.7 issues starting after a thorough detail and wash
I took my Durango in to be fully detailed (my wife is the worst on cars) and everything was running and working great - no issues ar all. Once I got the car back it will not start without me holding down the gas and turning the key. Also 2 lights now show up on the dash - ESP/BAS and traction control.
I am more worried about the starting issue, from what I can tell the ESP/BAS and traction control lights are from excessive water on a wheel speed sensor.
any ideas? The car runs fine once started.

Hello... I have been having the same issues with mine EVERY time it rains.... Water is dripping off the plastic that runs along the bottom of your windshield....it drips right onto the TPS sensor.. very easy to change.. the TPS sensor throws up the TCS and other lights... it will keep doing this anytime water drips onto it.. DODGE has made a new piece to divert the water off of the sensor to fix this issue.... however here in Ontario the part to divert the water off costs 360$ which is bs.. as DODGE is aware of the issue and obviously well enough to create a part to fix the issue and at a very steep cost to the customer..I hope this helps with resolving your issue..
when ever rain gets on the sensor it makes my vehicle turn over and turn over and eventually start.. then it wont after that... a TPS sensor will fix that issue... I would look at putting some silicone greese in the sensor to keep water away..
