2001 Dodge Stratus R/T: Sudden A/C problem; light on a/c flashing on and off.

The other day, my husband noticed the light near the rear seat window had remained on all night without our knowledge. 2 days later I drove the car for errands on a 90 degree day. The A/C unit worked fine for the first 30 minutes of travel. Then, the A/C light began flashing and warm air replaced the nice cool air that had been coming out of the vents, what could the problem be?

A flashing AC light is usually a sign of a slipping belt which is almost always caused by a worn belt tensioner

SOURCE: On hot days A/C light flashes and blows out hot air

check and see if both the ac and heat are on at the same time .i suspect the connections to the thermostat are wrong .if it is a 4 wire system .then red is your 24 volts .green is your fan .white is your heat and yellow is your ac [.if there is a r-c and a r-h lug on the thermostat .jump white to r-h and jump yellow to r-c .but only if you still have a problem after you install the 4 wires

well what I see you have two problems with you A/C ..1- if the compressor is cycling very fast , the system is probably low in freon , this ban takes like 4lb of freon, now, 2-if we have the right amount of freon and the rear A/C don't work and all the vents are working fine back there for sure the problem is the expansion valve located close to the rear evaporator , that valve get stock open allowing to much refridgerant get in to the evaporator and no cooling at all ,in the back,... you can also have a bad low pressure switch located on the accumulator, making the compressor cycling very fast ..the first you have to do is check the pressures if they are OK , change the low pressure switch..then go to the second problem

Where it's located the air bag sensor on a dodge 2001

the impacts sensors are located on the front near the fenders.
messing with an airbag system is dangerous.
leave it to a qualified technician.there are many other components other than the sensors.

Fuel filter location

Dodge Stratus fuel filter location, 2001-2002, access top of the gas tank from under the rear seat. Remove the sending unit with filter attached, replace in reverse order of removal. I found having plenty of lighting in there made a difference. Be careful of the gasket and seals and they can be re-used, dont bend the sensor parts or your gas gauge will will be FUBAR. Use proper tools for removing the retaining ring, don't get stupid and start making sparks with a hammer & a screw driver.
