There is not a jamb switch. Everything is built into the door latch.

replace the valve

the headlight switch is part of the change lane or turn signal lever handle that goes in the steering wheel assembly. You must replace the entire assembly because it is not easy to replace only the headlight switch. As it somewhat expensive, try to check to be sure it is the switch what has failed and not the wiring harness or other part of the circuit. Same situation for the high beams switch. Look for suppliers, as the original part is too overpriced. It is made by "VALEO" from France. Amclaussen.

if you push on the rear defrost switch and it doesn`t light up then check the fuses with a test light. if the fuse is good then the defrost switch is likely bad.

You don't WANT it turn run leaner. The computer constantly monitors and readjusts the mixture, and it runs LEANER at warm idle than any other time. Check the distributor cap & rotor. Is #3 spark plug gapped correctly? Pull the plug & inspect it for fouling. Try swapping one of the old plugs back in. How are you sure than the #3 injector is good?

If you mean steering properly I can only speculate what your Stratus is doing.Steering related if it does not have power assist and turns hard sitting still try revving the motor slightly while turning the steering wheel if it feels like it turns easier then you may have a pump issue if it isn't easier then you still may have a pump or gear issue.If when driving it wanders you may have a suspension or steering component wear issue the same if it feels like it's binding while turning.These were common for outer tie rod ends wearing first as miles accumulate.

Depending on your description of grinding could be power steering pump if whinning noise if tight on steering check steering rods tie rods and also check cvr joints for front wheel drive also depending on the direction of turning and which way is worse check the struts might be binding on

It would be best if you purchased a Haynes repair manual for your car. All the information will be in the manual. You don't want a piston making contact with a valve

relay could be stuck on or the horn button at the steering wheel may be stuck..

either your fuel filter or fuel pump is clogged from all the debris from the gas tank , you are going to have to change out the filter or empty your gas tank and pull your fuel pump out and change your filter on your pump out.

egr solenoid bad

Guessing you have the 6 cylinder 2.7 liter engine. You should be able to twist the coil in order to pull the ones that the intake (upper) is in the way and as it is part way out, you can bend it a bit just enough to pull the haed ones out. Hope this helps...

Remove the coils.
