    Hello! The problems you describe are indicative of the BCM (Body Control Module), this is a dealer repair item, it must be programed and calibrated by a dealer shop. Stop by your local Chrysler Dealer and ask the service manager about it. Good luck.

    Hello again! Am posting location, removal and installation procedure below, but be aware the dealer is pretty much the only shop with the program to test and re-calibrate this module, and they won't test it off the vehicle

    First: Disconnect Negative Battery Cable from Battery, so that there is no power to the electrical system at all!

    The bcm is located on the back side of the under-dash fuse box (junction block). You remove the lower steering column cover and knee blocker reinforcement. Then remove two plugs from the bottom of the bcm.
    Remove the bolts holding the junction block to dash panel mounting bracket. Remove the junction block from the bracket. Remove screws holding the bcm to the junction block. Slide the bcm downward to disengage guide studs on junction block from channels on bcm mounting bracket
    Remove bcm from junction block.

    Before any plans are made to replace any part, you must test and prove what is wrong. Each of these issues needs to be analyzed, and that needs to be done one at a time. While there is potential for some of them to be related, it should not be assumed that any of them are.
