Try unplugging the actual abs module. Salty water and the green crusties might have had there way with it. May even be one of the sensors that connect to it. I would continue to unplug things until you find the root cause.

Hey, I  like the 2.4l 4 cylinder

Cut it out with a Sawzall and demo blade. Then replace with a new cam bolt,  cam washer and rear toe link. I did this last spring couldn't get the cam bolt out.

Yes on the 2.4L its cluchless. It starts and stops by changing the pump displacement inside the compressor.

I finally had this U70 recall done! I have a new catalytic converter and the latest software update.  So far it runs much quieter and smoother, the transmission seems to work with the engine better. So far I am happy we had this done.

If it isn't leaking, I would simply leave it as is.
 

Was it a private sale or from a lot? Go back and ask for help or get your money back.

Time for a new thermostat. Easy diy job on either 2.4l or 3.6l.

The problem could be as simple as the hoses are reversed connecting to the heater core.

No timing belt to worry about on this 2.4l.

Make sure you take the time to clean up the 3 ground connections on the firewall as well as the positive connection under the red cover.  I found mine on my 2013 already corroded.

Probably the engine oil cooler under the intake manifold is leaking the oil into the coolant. The transmission cooler is part of the ac condenser. Not in the radiator on the journey.

I did this repair on my 2014 van. Just one rocker failed the others were still in good shape so I left them alone.  The hardest part of the job was getting the rear cover bolts off. They and the wiring are tight at the firewall.

Is it possible to get  the codes with out a reader. My 2014 ram van still allows the key dance method.
