Dashboard's red light

2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser 116398 miles
In my car's dashboard, a red light turns on right in the middle, where the gas and temperature needles are located. My doubt is, what does it indicate?

That red light is the central locking's response. It turns on the moment you introduce the key and turn the ignition. It is the signal that the key is recognized. When you close the car, the light remains blinking, meaning that the alarm is activated.

Check engine turns on and stalls

2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser 176000 miles
Hi everyone, I have a 2004 PT Cruiser 2.4 Turbo and after 2 weeks of usage, the Check engine light turned on. It kept working for a while but suddenly stalled. I tried to start it back but was not able; it seemed as though there was a fuel deficit, even though 3/4 of the tank were full. After waiting for 30 minutes, the car finally started, with the Check engine off. But the following day, it turned on again and this same thing has been happening for almost three months. Spark plugs, ignition coil, spark plugs wires and TPS valve have been changed; the oxygen sensor has been cleaned, the wirin… Read complete

Mine is a 2005 non-turbo which «kicks» and then stalls. MAP sensor has been replaced THREE times but the «cure» is always short-lived and failures occur randomly and in very inopportune locations like the fast lane of a major highway! I'm now told that replacing the MAP sensor was not what «cured» the problem but the RESET of the computer (which is part of the MAP sensor replacement process) is all that was necessary. I'm now looking for my own Diagnostic Device so I can reset the computer when it has its next hissy-fit.

'05 Cruiser; paid $3k in Dec '21 now I've got $7k in it for AAA' tos

2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser Automatic 2.5 124404 miles
Bought this 05 cruiser from a snake oil salesman from a craigslist post of $2985.00 with who claimed it would last me a long time as long as I took it easy. Instantly dismissing the shaking that I felt in the steering wheel at approximately 30+ mph from the first test drive. Said oh that lil shimmy, it's no biggie I just drove it to ___ (city 1hr away) and it drove fine. Then the very last thing he showed me before I drove away in my newest craigslist investment was how the ignition would lock the key unless I jiggle thr gear shift (then it releases the key it like a normal ignition does when… Read complete

kicks, p0562, p0218

2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser 90000 miles
I usually drive without any problems in the morning, but suddenly I start it and, when trying to speed it up, it feels as if the car kicked. I then drive for a few meters and Check engine is indicated. When scanning it, these two codes appear: p0562 and p0218. Both the battery and alternator have been checked but they are ok. I have been told it might be the computer that is failing. Has somebody had this problem?

Your problem must be in your fuse module, that feeds the transmission computer. You should check this.

I don't know how to fix the. Code 0401

2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser Hatchback 180000 miles
I have a 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser with the check engine light on. The OBD-II scanner shows codes P0108, P1294, P1193, and P0401. I believe there may be a MAP sensor issue or a vacuum leak causing incorrect load readings, and the EGR system is showing insufficient flow. I’d like you to check the MAP sensor signal and wiring, inspect all vacuum lines for leaks or blockage, and diagnose the EGR valve and EGR passages for carbon buildup or failure.

ASD/FP 20A fuse blows only on revving the car will idle fine

2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.4l Automatic Dream series 1 80250 miles
Changed the alternator since it gave a code for not switching power. Engine light is gone but wont rev past 2000rpm only light on dash is a solid red light and prior to the alternator the car would misfire at higher rpm around 5000+rpm. Also changed the coil,plugs,wires to try to fix this but the ASD fuse will continue to blow
