I recently bought this vehicle. As I was driving, the digital info and the gauge needles began to flicker and when I stopped the elect system acutally shut down. By tightening up the battery clamps the problem went away except now I have flashing amber lights for the pushbuttons for the rear window wiper, the A/C*, and the recirculate. What can I reset to stop the flashing? The functions all work normal. Thanks

I would do this, test and replace both ground and power terminal ends. Leave the negative one for last. Always unhook the battery neg. First. And install neg. Last. The way to test and reset the modules are with an electronic scan tool, like any Chrysler DRBIII or equivilent.
Also you could just try removing and using a wire brush to clean up both terminals. The tool is called a battery terminal cleaning brush, and it is cheap.
Both may reset after a certain amount of engine starts. Or be fixed by a scan of the BCM or module for the ATC system.
