Windows stopped working

2013 Dodge Avenger Sedan 119000 miles
First my passenger side window stopped working now the driver's side has stopped working I was wondering if it could be a fuse or if it is the motor inside the door for the window

I started having that issue. I decided to remove the door window controls themselves and cleaned them while disconnected and thoroughly cleaned all parts after disassembling. Works great now. You should have seen all of the crud between most contact points.

Wipers malfunction

2014 Dodge Avenger 120000 miles
My wipers only work sometimes. They will be going normally, then stop in the middle of my windshield, jerk ahead a few times, then fly downward to starting position. Then they'll wipe at high speed for a couple revolutions, then do the jerking then again. When I turn the switch off, they will continue to move and stop in the middle of my windshield. It doesn't matter how hard it is raining. So it's not due to a dry windshield. I've also replaced the motor and it's still happening. The linkages looked ok while I had the cowling off.

Had to replace wiper switch
Sinister J from United States 5 months ago
I decided to remove the window and door locking control box located within the driver side doors arm rest to examine it closer. Easy to remove as a single pice but consists of 3 interlocking segments. O discovered after disassembling the unit completely with YouTubes guide and noticed a build up of grimmy residue mainly where the toggle pieces rest causing the inability to make necessary contact needed for operation. After cleaning the assembly and reassembly, the issue has been corrected. Keep in mind all door have this insert with the rear doors not as complex. I believe it possible that any or all inserts could cause this issue so do not dismiss this possibility until all inserts have been cleaned. Cost...1 hr of research and 1 hour to clean...$0 dollars!!

Passenger door lock

2013 Dodge Avenger SE 6493 miles
When I pull the passenger side door lever the door allows me to open it but when I go to close it the mechanism is already locked back in place. It is unmovable and I have to take the door apart to get it to unlock just so I can close the door. Why does it do that?

High Idle RPMs & completely dead battery

2009 Dodge Avenger 2.4 4cyl 90000 miles
My Avenger starts good wen it starts but wen it sits without me driving it for bout 4 days battery goes dead n have to jump it. So it started a few days sgo, i was warming it up, idling in driveway, got out of drivers seat, put a box in my trunk, and heard my car idling real high all by itself, all of a sudden, it freaked me out so i quickly shut it off, about 20 sec passed n i tried to start it n it just made clicking noise n wudnt start at all. Ive had it hooked up to a battery charger for 2.5 days n nights now n the charger still reads at 25%. Is anyone having this problem? idk wut to do. Thank you so much for any advice you can share.

Changed TIPM fixed some issues and caused others

2008 Dodge Avenger 2.4 260000 miles
My A/C went out at the beginning of summer and a mechanic told me it was the fuse. I didn’t know it was ONE fuse so I changed the entire box. Now my A/C works! But I have a “no fuse” message every day, the interior light doesn’t work unless the car is on and same for the door locks. I know that the key fob is making contact with the car because the headlights flash, but I can neither lock or unlock the doors with it. What in the world did I do wrong?
