2001 Dodge Durango Electrical problems

In the past year my entire electrical system has gone haywire. First my passengers all lost their ability to use window controls, only the driver has control, but every once in a while it will work, pretty random. Then my left headlight went out. Not the bulb, the entire headlamp stopped working, and if I switch to my high beams the right one won't work. And now my read passenger break light won't come on. Also after I turn off my car completely, once in a while about 30 seconds later the radio will come back on by itself! We cannot figure out how to fix any of it. We've tried everything! All of this happens while car is in motion, parked and stationary

As I am driving my blinkers and radio stopped working randomly . Causing safety issues while on the road . This happens while in motion and on the road

Headlights, dash lights, and tail lights flicker intermittently. Starts slowly when lights are turned on and frequency gradually increases.

I had a fire start in my ride from a electrical wiring that located under the middle seat front .It burnt my seats floor n person items .Me n my son 5 yes old was getting out at walmart when this happened. Had 2 guy help put out the fire. Now I have no radio in lights dash lights cig lighter for phone charger .

One day I was out shopping parked my car got out tried to lock doors they would lock unless I manually did it. The next day I noticed my headlights, inside lights, windshield wipers, and volume control on staring wheel would not work. That same day when I started my car it started great as always but there was a clicking noise on the driver side by the front wheel. I took it to midas they diagnosed it and fixed it, 3 days later my car did the same thing he told me to take it to the dodge dealer. I've tried they...

Driving down the road and all of the sudden all lights interior and exterior are blinking off and on like in rapid succession. I have a seizure disorder and strobe/flickering lights are a trigger. This is extremely dangerous. Along with further investigation myself and my mechanic figured out it is the ctm which is not uncommon because there are hundreds of complaints about this and I've already dumped hundreds of dollars into this repair!

Headlights, overhead dome, instrument lights all flash on and off when headlights are turned on which is impossible to drive at night without serious being a serious major safety hazard. Checked forum for dodge products, there is also a service bulletin in your database there are many complaints of people with the same malfunction, and mechanics told everyone same thing power train or body control module (bcm). *Tr

This vehicle and just about every other durango and similar make dodge from 2001 to 2005 has a blower relay and harness under the dash that overheats. It melts the plastic causes smoke in the vehicle and can cause a fire. Chrysler has a fix for it for about $100.00 Just for the part not including labor which is about 2 hours. When it happened to me the relay had fallen out of its place in the blower and landed on my wife's burning her foot. Why should the consumer have to pay for a defect that can cause injury or...

While driving on the freeway my headlights started flickering" on and off as well as my dashboard lights..When I applied the brakes they also seem to blink on/off . I exited the expressway fearing the car would shut off and cause crash..Now I fear driving after dark. It has happened several times again but short distance from my home ,i turned the a/c/off and the light failure seems to stop..I googled my problem and it seems a dodge problem still unresolved.My car has less than 50,000 miles n never had problems except for brakes..After reading most of complaints I feel it is a defective electrical factory problem . *Tr

The power front seats after time come loose in the 20001 durango and move back and forth on the tracks. Seems like they are moving more and more every day. I read so many other complaints on this web site. Another problem which is common is the wiring burning up connected to the resistor pack on the blower motor. I read stories about how people have to replace the blower motor, resistor pack and plug at the end of the harness. The manufacture should have used thicker wire to handle the current draw for the motor...

Bought vehicle about 1 month ago and my horn and cruise control were working at time of purchase. Took car home and went out the next day and found out that horn didn't work after almost getting into and accident, so now I no longer have a horn or cruise control on my car. *Tr

Car just stops and doesn't give you any warning, loose steering and brakes makeing it hard to get tothe side of the road. Having to take off battery cables and remove relays and replace hoping that it will start for you. I'm afaird to take any where thinking I will get stranded. *Tt

The headlights on my 2001 dodge durango blink on and off when they are turned on. This problem renders the vehicle inoperable to drive at night. I read on the internet that thousands of other drivers have also experienced this problem. It has something to do with the central timer module. Dodge should be made to issue a vehicle recall to fix this unsafe blinking headlight problem. *Tr

Airbag light comes on when steering wheel is turned to the left. Horn becomes inop. When steering wheel is returned to the right, airbag light goes out. Horn operates again. Suspect fault with the clockspring. *Kb

Headlights flashing: high beam to low beam, windshield wipers not working, variety of warning lights coming on and off during driving:security, low wiper fluid, service 4wd, engine light, interior lights coming on during driving, I am told it is the central timing module and have spoken with many having same prob. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2001 dodge durango. The contact stated was driving at 10 mph and below in inclement weather, the lights, windshield wipers and door locks failed. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer and they advised that the failure could have been caused by a fuse. After having the fuse replaced, the failure recurred a short while later. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and they advised him that there was a failure with one of the computer components but they were not sure of the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

The headlights, interior lights and windshield wipers will flicker on an off intermittently. This can occur many times in a row or not for days. It happens when it is rain, dry, warm or cold. I can find no common denominator to what causes the issue. A search on the internet finds many other incidents of this for the 2001 dodge durango. *Tr
