Problem overview

Some Dodge Durango owners report experiencing electrical malfunctions that lead to engine shutdowns and continuous wiper operation. These issues may stem from intermittent wipers that have previously caused engine shutdowns. Additionally, owners have noted problems with the battery, including sudden draining or failure to hold a charge. Common electrical system problems include water intrusion in the rear lighting, which can cause shorting out of the lighting system. The prevalence of reported electrical issues suggests a significant risk of malfunction. When troubleshooting these concerns, it is advisable to turn off all accessories before attempting to jump-start the vehicle to ensure maximum power availability for the starter. Prompt attention to these electrical system issues is crucial to prevent further complications.
