* Engine Options: Dodge Stratus models from 1998 and 1999 had various engine choices (2.0L, 2.4L, 2.5L). The wiring harness may differ depending on the specific engine.
* Model Variations: There might have been slight changes in the wiring layout even within the same engine depending on trim levels, options (like ABS or air conditioning), and other factors.
* Minor Revisions: Car manufacturers occasionally make minor changes to wiring throughout a production run. A 1998 and 1999 Stratus could potentially have different harnesses due to these revisions.
To find out for sure, you'll need to do the following:
1. Identify the engine: Look for the engine code stamped on the engine block.
2. Compare the harness: Find the wiring harness diagrams for both a 1998 and 1999 Stratus with the same engine code. Compare the diagrams carefully for any differences in connector locations, wire colors, or overall layout.
3. Consult a parts catalog: Check a reputable online parts catalog (like RockAuto or a Dodge parts dealer) and see if they list the engine wiring harness as compatible across the two model years.
Important Note: It is always best to use genuine manufacturer parts or high-quality aftermarket harnesses. Don't assume compatibility based on year alone.
