1995 CHRYSLER CONCORDE Electrical System Problems

MY VEHICLE DOES NOT CHANGE INTO SECOND GEAR. I FOUND OUT WHILE I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND BECAME A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS. WHEN IN REVERSE, IT HAS A "CLUNK" NOISE WHEN THE GAS IS APPLIED. THE PROBLEM CAME ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT WARNING. THERE ARE ALSO COMPUTER AND IGNITION PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS CRACKLING IN THE DASHBOARD WHEN THE HEATER IS ON, THE IGNITION SWITCH CANNOT BE TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE ON POSITION WHEN THE CAR IS ON OR THE ABS LIGHT WILL COME ON AND PREVENTS FUNCTION OF THE HEATER. *TR

THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING AND THE GASKETS WERE REPLACED. THE AIR CONDITION WAS INOPERATIVE, THE PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE SHORT IN A WIRE
