Sounds to me like the ignition-switch is bad. Unless you are a good amature mechanic, you should take the vehicle to a shop to get this done.

I know it seems that way when you turn the light switch on but the brake light doesn't work off the light switch in the vehicle. It only comes on when you press the brake pedal. Your problem is both of your bulbs for the brake light have blown. One brake light may have been working and then the other when out and that's when people probably was yelling at you that your brake lights were out! Lol. I recently ran into the same issue with my daughters car. I hope this helps.

this is a 1999?
2.5 is the V-6 and are SOHC
2.4 are 4-cyl and DOHC

Could be the key switch ?

Probably, the master cylinder has plugged passages, due to dirty or contaminated fluid, lack of proper maintenance. Test Master cylinder and flush system purging air from circuit. Amclaussen.

Have the rear suspension checked and fixed and an alignment done. If someone did this already take it to a different shop

Probably needs a new starter motor, have it checked at a auto parts store. Make sure good connections at battery of course first. Those motors don't last forever. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/michael_2496c4f07ad24453

Its one of two things stuck horn relay or stuck horn pad I have replaced both in the past on this model car.

Is none

Is none Never been on anything but ford & mazda Well known fact for decades

dodge had a bad run of circuit boards. the interior of your car must have become extremely hot and some of the traces of the instrument cluster have become disconnected because the solder melted. it is a known problem. the only solution is a replacement unit which will have to be done by a dealer to program it.

I had the same problem. It's the ignition cylinder where you put your key in. The switch for the start position is shorting out, in some cases when you move from park to reverse and then through neutral to drive the starter will engage and grind on the flywheel while the engine is running. I would deem this an urgent problem and the repair should be around $60-$120 depending on the shop you go to.

check for codes in the PCM just because the sensors are plugged in doesn`t mean they are working. check for power getting to the coil packs if this is good then check to see if the ground circuit is good and reference voltage is good at the coils. the PCM grounds the coil packs and monitors the reference voltage the power is supplied when the key is turned on. just some places to start

there is a code set in the pcm(computer). it could be a problem with the vehicle speed sensor(VSS) that would cause the speedometer to stop working turning on the check engine light to get things checked out.

Check your fuses first, or could be a burnt resistor on the gauges circuit board.

freeze plugs are located on the side of the block. first get a pressure test done on the cooling system to pinpooint the source of the leak

after it cuts off will it restart? if it does the fuel pump might be losing pressure. check to make sure your pressure is right

just change the crank sensor,You have an inntermitent fault with it,

You will need to check for a crank signal at the starter solenoid.
