2005 Dodge SXT. It won't shift up to the higher gears, it is not the turbo.

The turbo only crams more air into the cylinders for a bigger bang. You need an auto electrician with a professional grade scan tool computer. It can read DTC trouble codes and historical data, but they are also bi-directional and can instruct transmission solenoids to operate and verify that they did. It sounds like you are in Limp Mode. https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me ..

How do you clean the electronic throttle control

have 2005 Dodge Magnum and the ETC light goes on and my car dies down when... one 'trick' you should try: put the key in the "on" position, but don't start the car. Depress the gas pedal full to the floor, and then let go, all within 2 seconds. You should hear a "ding" sound indicating that the pedal travel distance has been reset in the PCM. Pedal position is electronically sensed at all engine conditions, and a misread can trigger the ETC code. You'll want to do this reset after you clean the throttle body, but try it first anyhow.

Therm. is being held open causing the engine to not heat up to a full 190 degrees. make sure you put in a 190 degree therm. and unhook the negative battery cable for at least 5 minutes to clear the code. the system could need a flush too, with over 100,000 miles or 5 years

The ABS and BAS lights are on in my 2005 Dodge magnum. What sensor does this point to?

It could also be a module failure. Normally I would take it to the dealer and when he tells you what is wrong you know what to replace.

2005 dodge magnium sxt abs ebs light is on and coding to a right rear speed sensor and it was just changed. didn't fix the problem

Broken wire...Usually happens around the sensor, but could be anywhere from the rear sensor to the abs module. Just a note. Most wire breaks are just behind the plug. Within 1/2 inch.. Of the sensors.

Car will not start.

Sounds like a wiring issue. I doubt that your computer is the problem. A loose or corroded battery connection can still supply power to your radio and lights and such but not allow the starter to engage so.. First check your battery connections where they clamp to the battery.If corrosion is present then disconnect, clean them good, and reconnect. Is starter making a click sound when you turn the key? If so then that usually means that there is a battery connection issue. Make sure the connections are not loose at all on the battery. It could also be your starter or starter solenoid. Tap the starter with the handle of a screw driver a few times and then go and turn the key to see if it turns over. If it the starter is turning over after doing this then replace your starter. If you don't know what your starter looks like just do a Google search for a picture. It will be attached to the front of the transmission usually on the side of the motor with a couple wires attached to it. Good luck!

I have a 2005 magnum front passenger window won't come down all other windows work properly I replaced the motor and it rolled up and stayed there won't come down I Cleand the connection nothi

Did you try direct 12vdc power to motor wires ? Reverse polarity should change direction of motor, then you'll know it's switch related or whatever. Did old motor do same? The switch reverses polarity, or is supposed to. If a motor goes in one direction, when wired backward ( reverse polarity) it should go opposite direction. That tells you motor is fine.

Wont come out of park

The first thing you do is verify the brake lights work, the park lock will not release unless the brake pedal is depressed and the brake circuit is energized.
