Hi, I got a problem with my stratus: My transmission was acting weird: It downshift sometimes from the third to first when it drove for a little while on the highway and take an exit (so was driving @ 100km for a while and slows down to around 30-40 km) When this happens, I put it on neutral, shut down the car and start it again and it resets the transmission to the right gear. But last time I did that, it would start and had to tow the car. I've verified the starter motor by jumping the solenoid and it turns A1. The battery reads 12.5V and did a check on it and the amp is good. The break pedal is hard and breaks barely. The power steering is off and hard to turn the car
The day light goes off while I turn the ignition switch and the night light not. While turning the ignition switch, the break light stays on (light looks like a (!) light on the dash) I've replaced the ground wire from the motor to the body recently and verified it. Seems it's A1. All lights in the car works so no fuses issue. What else should I verify? Could it be a distributor ignition system problem?
What happened couple days ago: I had to change the ground motor wire because it was rusted. I've levelled the battery liquid with distilled water Changed the water pump and changed the starter
That's the best I can think now. PLZ take a moment and write me if any other tests need to be done. Thanks
