#2142 of 2155 Chrysler T&C 2002 AC problem by sgange May 27, 2008 (9:14 am)
I have a Chrysler T&C 2002 and every so often when the AC Compressor kicks in there is a loud klunking noise. Sounds pretty bad, but it is momentary and does not happen every time. In fact it seems to happen more often when backing out of my driveway. Should I be worried that the AC compressor is about to go. Or is there a known issue out there for this year/make/model. It has about 78,000 miles on it.

Replying to: chantel0206 (Dec 10, 2006 7:07 am) I have a Chrysler T&C if the van you want to buy is shifting ok now go ahead and buy it if you are willing to take it to the dodge/chrysler dealer for a transmission ATF+4 fluid change and filter. Go to the best Chrysler dealer service department in town pay up and have the fluid change done right. At this mileage your tie rod ends and front disk brakes and spark plugs are also probably worn out. The tie rods, brakes and plugs do not need to be done at the dealer but the transmission work should not be trusted to others who might put in the wrong fluid to save money. So this work all together will cost you about $600 and the van should last you another 60,000 miles with regular oil changes. These are good vans if you maintain them properly. Maybe the seller will knock down the price $300 if you can prove in advance what service work needs to be done.

Replying to: 97xpresso (May 17, 2006 1:14 pm) I am so happy I found this forum. Many thanks for sharing your solution--it worked beautifully! I just recently replaced the sway bar bushings and end links on my 2002 T&C (hitting 70,000 miles) by the dealer (on the advice of my neighborhood mechanic) thinking it would be covered by the warranty before that expired in a few weeks. It ended up not being covered and costed about $300 So, I was frustrated when I noticed that my speedometer "pegged out" two weeks later and coincidentally after my warranty had already expired. I was considering either spending the estimated $800 the service advisor at my dealer said it would cost without an warranty or spending around $2,500 to get another extended warranty. SO there lies the reason for my excitement for finding this wonderful website!!! Should I still get an extended warranty, though? Through who? Thanks again:)
#2146 of 2155 Compass and Temperature T/C by ravenaussie May 09, 2009 (12:13 pm)
I just purchased a 2002 T&C Limited. The owners manual isn't too clear on this and i hope someone who has this model can help me. Reading the manual gives me the indication that I should be able to not only receive the Temperature and Compass heading on my overhead console, but also give me the information for mpg, dist. to empty and other things. It lets me know if doors are ajar etc...and allows me to change to metric and other things as well.   This one i can only access the T/C setting not the message center information. Is that the case with this model or should i be accessing both? When i hit the C/T it gives me a service requested or needed message and it does it calibration process then i get the compass and temperature readings...when i press the step button...it just gives me my options of any settings i wish to change...am i doing something wrong, is there anything wrong with the sensors.,...or do you just get the C/T or the Message Center...hope this isn't too confusing, any help will be appreciated.   By the way, very nice van, loaded to the hilt and extremely comfortable. Using it for mostly work but wife is slowly taking it away from me. Replies to this message: joepeterson56 (May 09, 2009 12:33 pm) ravenaussie (May 09, 2009 1:01 pm)

Replying to: ravenaussie (May 09, 2009 12:13 pm) There should be 3 buttons on the console. one to change from standard to metric, one says reset, and one marked STEP. Just depress the step button. Each time you press it it moves to the next topic in display. Replies to this message: ravenaussie (May 09, 2009 1:01 pm)

Replying to: joepeterson56 (May 09, 2009 12:33 pm) Thanks for the prompt reply.   Actually it has 4 buttons, not including the homelink and the auto doors open ones...   left side is the : Menu : Reset Right side is the: Step: C/T   when i press the step button it just says perform service and then begins the calibration of the Compass...   I'm thinking the Mini-Trip computer is not with this model...or...

#2150 of 2155 Re: T&C owners. It could happen to you [ccundiff] by 98minivanowner Aug 05, 2009 (3:24 pm)
Replying to: ccundiff (Mar 08, 2005 2:55 pm) I have been fighting the same probem for more than a year now. Nobody can tell me what is wrong. I found this and thought I might finally resolve it but the dealer has no Idea what an "Ignition Recall Switch" is. It was suggested it is a part on the instrument cluster but they want to replace the whole thing. Does anybody know what this is or where it is located. I don't want to throw hundreds of dollors of parts at the problem just to find later that it is still not fixed. Replies to this message: srs_49 (Aug 06, 2009 2:38 am)

Replying to: 98minivanowner (Aug 05, 2009 3:24 pm) Sorry, never heard of an "Ignition Recall Switch".   Some cars used to (still do?) have a roll over switch that would cut power to the fuel pump in the event of a rollover or other severe accident. Problem is that, on occasion, those switches would open up on a very hard bump (think a deep pothole), disabling the car until it was reset.   I have no idea if the Chrysler minivans have something like this or not.
