Two problems related to battery cable have been reported for the 2007 Dodge Nitro. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
No more than 200 ft from my driveway my 2007 Dodge Nitro horn just went off by itself for 15-20 minutes unable to go in gear or turn off truck after removing the battery cables it still ran on its own with no battery cables connected or key in ignition. Not will not crank at all or turn on but all lights, radio, and windows work. Happened chrismas day and now without transportation for me and my wife as it gets colder everyday. I need some serious help fast, I have been searching online and many causes that seem to be prevalent are the skreem or sentry key remote entry module or wireless control module on my model of vehicle and year of 2007 can this be fixed. What a great way to spend christmas stranded in a paring lot, if you can assist with help I would be apprecieated more than you know.
I stopped and pulled over to move my seat andtruck shut down in the middle of the street, wipers, horn and lights going haywire for 15-20 minutes removed the battery cables truck kept running and removed the key from the ignition still kept running, I proceded to drive to a gas station for help by a mechanic and stopped in a vacant lot and the vehicle finally stopped making noise. Turned the vehicle off and tried to start it and nothing no crank over or start, so I have been stranded since christmas day on the road and now with no vehicle.
