What is your question?
Automatic 2004 stratus 2.7 T- Trying to find voltage loss in eatx circut. Opened solenoid connector and it had a small amount of liquid around the pins. Cleaned with qtip but residue looked like maybe wd40 was used, could very well be water though. Could this cause a short? Could the pack be inoperable due to this? What are your thoughts? Also, the top cover of harness side connector (where the wires are soldered to pins) was open slightly- bent like someone tried to pry it off without releasing the clip. Does anyone have the schematic/diagram for this circut? I don't have much money so I'm trying to avoid paying for alldata because i might have to buy parts. Unfortunately spent all my money on this car. It worked great, but three days later p0888 showed up. It's possible that my girlfriend ran over a chunk of ice in the road that hit the tranny (big enough to bend the bottom of condenser inward). I couldn't possibly afford to pay for labor or to throw parts at it. Thank you.
What makes this problem better or worse?
The relay works, but resistor is 6800 and reads between 70-90. Is this normal? Also it's a different brand than others in box. R06 sh111
How long has your 2004 Dodge Stratus had this problem?
Obd could have been cleared before i bought it. I should have checked.

Hello, I think we spoke about this vehicle the other day. What color wires do you have on the connector you pulled, and which wires correspond to the bent pin? AAMCO does free diagnostics for transmissions.
"2004 (sbec) dodge stratus 2.7 litre, dtc / mil P0700 - P0888 Solved" Figured I'd drop in and let everyone know what the problem was, and how I fixed it. If everyone posted their solutions it would be much easier to fix their cars. So PLEASE POST THE SOLUTION so that others can learn from your experience! There is a splice on the ground side of the "transmission control relay control" circuit (pdc cavity 2). There are two circuits in a relay -control side(pins 2-4) and switch side(pins 5-6). My issue was on the control side. The ground on cav 2 is spliced inside the pdc and runs to g108 (under the tcm there are 2 body-ground contact points, g108 is on the side closest to the air box). The problem is in the harness between those two points, i suspect where the harness is crushed between the ecm and the body, or the splice inside the pdc. I simply bent the ground pin (carefully) on the relay so it would stick out the side when plugged in, and ran a wire from that pin to a good (shiny metal) body ground. I made a new ground point for this purpose. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE GROUND CIRCUIT IS OPEN, AND AT YOUR OWN RISK! This is not a permanent solution, but a means to get by until I can pull the pdc and harness for repair. The manufacturer says that the pdc is not serviceable, and that the pdc and main harness need to be replaced. I know this is not true from my own experience. Someone knowledgeable in electrical science can easily repair the pdc in this vehicle. I am a cautious and careful "do it yourselfer" who takes care to do thorough research, and acquire reference material before taking on a project.
