patriots have all kinds of cooling problems,make sure that you have enough tranny fluid in it and remember your torque converter uses about 4 quarts,the tranny has a cooler in the radiator,replace the radiator with one that has 2 rows of cooling,your radiator is going to die just like the rest of patriots

Heavy steering is an indication that the drive belt for the power steering is loose or missing. IT may be that that is the reason for a flat battery as the belt will also drive the alternator and the battery has drained down trying to supply the power to the electrical parts.. With a flat battery there may be a problem with the CPU program so use a code reader to reset it and then see if the light comes on.

I think so it is because of the battery.....

Most if not all scan tools have an option to clear or reset codes without the use of any tools or touching the battery. Consult your tool's manual for information on how to do it with your particular model. If you want to try the fee way ,, unhook the battery , turn on the headlight switch for 10 minutes, then reconnect your battery , the codes should have cleared , if not you have to h ave them cleared with the scan tool

I would love to know the answer to this question too.

you need to use a window crank removing tool and remove handle. Make sure window is all the way up before reinstalling handle on splines.

check fuse make sure wire under steering wheel is contacting metal and check horn with voltage to see if its good and also use voltmeter to see if there is voltage present when the horn is depressed

To run any wire through the firewall, find a spot that is both reachable and unobstructed on both sides of the wall. I generally use a very short bit so after penetrating, it does not accidentally plunge into other wiring or components, or I use a collar over the bit (a small piece of tubing, leaving only 1/4" of bit exposed) I sometimes also "cheat" by poking a hole in the rubber boot where the steering column goes through.
Whenever passing a wire through sheet metal you must install a grommet. (if none are available, you can make one by using a piece of rubber tubing or the cut off end of an old tire valve.)
When tapping power from the battery, you will need to use a relay and switch attached to the "accessory on" side of the ignition switch, to prevent whatever you are installing from remaining on after the vehicle has been turned off. Use fuses in all new power sources as well to protect the vehicle and your new install from damage.
In creating a new circuit, you have the opportunity to use shielded wire, which will prevent stray electrical "noise" in your set" not a bad idea to do that.
good luck
