There are a few companies which make a bracket with a pulley to eliminate the A/C. There are some concerns when you do this because the engine controls for the idle speed may still engage an increased RPM because the Defroster setting is made to activate the A/C compressor in the Fall to lube the internal compressor parts. If you eliminate the compressor, there will be no drag to slow the engine.Replacing the A/C clutch. Some can be changed on the car without losing the Freon. Some allow for just the bearing to be replaced without replacing the clutch also on the car.The bearing may be cheaper than the eliminator bracket and pulley. Some autoparts stores have Loaner tool programs with pulley tools. Just watch for Left-hand threaded components when you try to disassemble the Compressor.You might try to blog another site for the removal of the A/C clutch on this make and year vehicle. Fixya has some data, but year to year variations are not guaranteed. You need a real Chysler guy to help you on this.

Yes, starter relay or battery charge. Is good to know that you solve it.

Do not go back to any " mechanic" who told you to re-set the map sensor. Those are some baaad mechanics, giving you a schuck job. That is outrageous . If the clicking is coming from the relay and fuse center by the battery, you probably need a new $10 starter relay. If the clicking is coming from the starter solenoid on the new starter you put on, then it's not a bad part, but likely a loose connection at the battery, or at the starter where the big cable wire attaches. Are your battery cable connections corrosion-free and clean and tight? Did you happen to remove a ground wire and forgot to re-attach it? Check your battery ground, the negative cable where it attaches to the frame of the car, or to the engine. That should be clean and tight also. If the starter solenoid is clicking, it means that the starter is getting a signal from your ignition switch to turn the starter motor on, but the starter motor is not getting full battery power from the battery to start turning and thus cranking the engine. The starter motor gets its full battery power from the positive positive cable. One end is on the battery, and the other end is on the starter. If your battery is still charged up enough to start the car, all connections are tight, you have a new starter, and the solenoid just clicks, it may be a bad battery cable.I will stop here, and wait for your response . Hope you find it, just keep looking. There is no such thing as re-set the map sensor, period.

Did you get fuel recently, might have something in fuel e.g water? or even the fuel filter getting clogged.

The "Check Gauges" light means pretty much what it says. When this light comes on, it is because one of your gauges is not operating within the "NORMAL" range. You need to look at all of your gauges to see what is going on. It could be low fuel, low oil pressure, high temperature, low battery voltage, or whatever else your instrument cluster may be equipped with for gauges.Most people do not pay a lot of attention to their gauges because bad things rarely happen. This light is designed to get your attention and MAKE you look at your gauges because the computer system has determined that SOMETHING is not right with them.

If you want fuel economy then dump this beast and buy a nice peugeot or citreon picasso diesel manual then you will get around 30 mpg around town and anything up to 70 mpg on a run ,try paying our fuel prices and this nice typical american petrol gas burner would be delegated to the classic car sunday drive out like my jag with its 4lt engine i can only afford to take it out once a month or so on a jaguar club run around ,other than that its my ford diesel manual escort with its 0 to 60 in 15 minutes but it only uses one tank of fuel a month.

This would have to be obtained from a Transmission shop or directly from Chrysler Corp.
