HI...
I have a T&C 2001 with similar problem. Did you find a cure?
Mine has a throaty sound at about 2,000 rpm's goes away pretty much above 60 mph.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

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:)

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

1997 Chrysler T&C studders occasionally by eenns

Plugs and wires are all new as well as fuel filter. But our van studders like every five minutes or so at random. Any ideas before I start dumping money in again?

Have you run some fuel system cleaner through it? It might clear up the injectors, if one or more are gummed up at all.
