Where is the safety switch in my 2008 Jeep patriot
Assuming you mean neutral safety switch, it's at base of clutch pedal in stick shift vehicles and can be a base of floor mount automatic shifter or on tranny itself. Chilton/Haynes repair manual for you vehicle where tell you where it's at and how to replace it. Given the redundant safety systems in newer vehicles I would definitely get a repair manual and go from there. Trouble shooting section is an excellent place to start.

My dashboard and gauges keep flickering on and off
sound like you have a lose connection it could be the cables on to the dash or the socket it fits to. you would need to remove the dash and clean the connection and re fit it. if you push on the dash does it stop. ? just check this first as some times its just a tiny amount of play in the connections that's the problem .

Front suspension mcpherson strut noise
that takes a live human to find.
a full inspection up front.
asking the deaf and blind here, is off the wall.
if motivated, use a $5 stethoscope parked, and 2nd person turns wheels. and find true source
or get it serviced like the other 99.9% do.
