I drive a 2007 dodge magnum sxt....
it is having some sort of electrical/computer issue. The lights blink on and off even when they are turned off....the blinkers blink erratically and not on "beat" as they used to. there is a 1 sec pause before the car starts when u turn the key which is unusual. basically the electronics in the car are all acting goofy......
here is what i ve done so far. I took it to the dodge dealer the first day the blinkers were blinking funny. i called my dad and he said i might need the cpu 'flashed' ...well when i went there of course they were blinking fine but i left the car there anyway. after 2 days they gave me the car back and said they couldnt find a problem.
5 days later the car went dead and wouldnt start. i took it to another place and they had it for 5 days and basically said they couldnt figure out what was wrong....basically all they did was put a new 150 dollar battery in it and said it was fixed....but as soon as i was driving it started the exact same things.....
im afraid whatever the problem is will eventually ruin this new battery as well, but i dont know what to do....anybody ever have a similar problem?? i thought it must be the alternator but they're saying it s fine....any help or suggestions would be appreciated...

Obviously some drunk and high employee at chrysler assembled your car and some wires are crossed. Go buy a Ford.
