#2931 of 4276 Fuse for Power Outlet and Radio by rrichers Jun 25, 2005 (7:55 am)
My wife has a 2001 T & C. She recently pulled her cell phone charger out of the power outlet (the upper outlet, not the one run directly from the battery) and a fuse (an old style small glass cylinder with metal caps on both ends) attached to a spring, and a ring-like part popped out. Now the radio doesn't work. I checked on the cover of the Integrated Power Module and it says nothing about the radio.   I assume this fuse is for both this power outlet and the radio, but I have no idea about how to get it back in.   Can anyone help?

#2932 of 4276 2001 town and country battery/radio by bbmom Jun 27, 2005 (3:25 pm)
The battery was replaced today but it somehow stopped the radio/CD player from working. The bass/mid/treb lights flash continuously. The mechanic (not a dealership) thinks it is due to the anti theft system but can't remember how to get the radio working again. No info in the manual. Mechanic checked all fuses and they are fine. Anyone have this problem ? What do the flashing lights mean ? How do I fix this ? Thanks ! Replies to this message: jpholden (Jan 30, 2006 11:03 am)

concerning post #2932 above... forgot to mention that this radio does not need a security code to reset... I confirmed this info with the dealer. Replies to this message: pfutz (Aug 17, 2005 8:17 am) bbmom (Aug 21, 2005 12:19 pm) pfutz (Aug 23, 2005 7:21 pm) and 3 more...
#2934 of 4276 Re: Rear Brake Light Bulbs are good, but do not work [westfork] by tasturgeon Jun 27, 2005 (8:12 pm)
Replying to: westfork (Jun 23, 2005 6:52 pm) We had a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan, which is essentially the same vehicle, and something similar went wrong with it. The brake lights stopped working just as you described. The turn signals didn't work either, even though the indicator and blinking sound in the dash worked fine. The dealership worked on it twice and finally replace a computer module that controls those lights and it worked fine again. Hope this helps sorry I don't know exactly which computer module. We have since traded up for a 2005 D.G.C.
#2935 of 4276 1990 grand caravan transmission by ckattherock Jun 27, 2005 (9:15 pm)
My transmission went out suddenly ( a 3 speed with overdrive ) and it was suggested that the problem was something along the lines of a " forward planetary or cluster gear" that may have broke. The engine is 3.3litre/ 6 cylinder, but I dont even know what the transmission is and that makes it difficult to locate a replacement for it. Can anyone help? Thanks Ck Replies to this message: lastwraith (Jun 28, 2005 7:48 pm)

Replying to: KarenS (Oct 25, 1999 6:01 pm) I own a '96 DC 3.8L. It has 160K+ and is working fairly well for its age.   The problem I am having is with the rear window water sprayer. It does not spray water anymore. I tried cleaning out the tiny water outlet with a water hose, but it did not solve the problem.   Does anyone know how to fix (troubleshoot) these types of problems?   V/R Ray
#2937 of 4276 Re: 1997 Grand Caravan no power to instrument panel and gauges [marine2] by paumonok Jun 28, 2005 (2:10 pm)
Replying to: marine2 (Jun 26, 2005 9:30 pm) It's not surprising at all. I have a 1990 Volvo 240 that had an alternator failure. The first symptom was that the SRS idiot light came on. After that, the fuel gauge indicator and temperature gauges both took a dive, then the speedometer starting doing a dance. This was all because of low voltage (<10.75V), which is insufficient to drive the gauges and their logic boards.

Replying to: paumonok (Jun 28, 2005 2:10 pm) I too went to autozone and had the same code in the computer, 1698. So, i cleared the computer and then we took a 500 mile trip this weekend, same result. The instrument cluster is still intermittent.   So now I'm looking for a insturment cluster form a junk yard. if that doesn't work, then I'll try replacing the Body Control Module, then ?? hate to be just a part changer but unsure how to diagnose whjich it is with out access to another one.

My mom has a 2005 Caravan and the rack and pinion steering went out on it. I think that can be considered a major problem.
