Default Newbie here, with questions....

Hi all,
I have a 2001 dodge stratus. I have some problems with. mostly electrical. 1st my dash lights flicker between light and dim, when i adjust the brightness it seems to stop for a while. 2. if i turn my dome light on it will also flicker on and off.
3. radio/cd player temp sensitive. this winter and spring radio started going nuts, would work fine for about 1/2 hour to 1 hour but once the inside temp got warm radio would lock on to station,and volume. you could not change anything. and all speakers would turn off except for the rear left speaker. Now that the weather has warmed up have not had much problem with the radio. Am I the only one that has a possesed stratus?
this car has been a problem child for the last year last august i had to have the tranny rebulit. that was not fun!
anyway any suggestions?
Thanks,Mike.

Newbie....My wife's 01 does the same thing, but I failed to get it repaired under warranty, and since she quit complaining about it, I'd forgotten about it till now. The turn signal stem and its wiring harness is a problem spot, and Chrysler dealer knew exactly what I was talking about...I believe they have an upgraded stem and harness, but since there's an airbag in the wheel, I'm not messing with it...call your dealer and inquire.
Can't help you on the radio thing, sorry
