Two problems related to battery cable have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Durango. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Same problem as hundreds of others, 1999 Durango shuts off, has been doing it for about 1 month now. No particular rhyme or reason as to when it is going to happen, as it will do it while sitting still or going 55 mph. Getting the no bus reading in odometer, usually restarts within several minutes. I can not let my wife or teenage son drive this vehicle. Have replaced battery cables,disconnected electrical connections going into ecm and cleaned, and made sure same connections are tight. Will probably end up replacing ecm, but not too confident about the outcome. Now that winter is coming, this may get scary !!!.
