I own a 2009 Dodge Journey. Recently if my head lights are on and I am using my turn signal, my Dash lights will brighten. They return to normal once I have turned the signal light off. Any suggestions as to what the issue may be?

 

It could be a poor ground path for either the instrument
cluster or the turn signals , I would you should visit a good
automotive electrician or a dealer you feel confident in.
Have you had the wiring recall done on your 2009 as per Chrysler?

 

To go along with the dimming dash lights, yesterday while driving over a rough, icy road, the electric trottle light came on and the car felt like it lost some power. I stopped and read the manual which instructed to put the car in park and restart it and if the light did not remain on, it was OK to drive. I did this and the light went out. I drove home then later went out again and the car lost a bit of power and the battery light came on......WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?

 

The battery charging system should be checked. Does the vehicle have the original battery?
