Replying to: chan1 (Jul 08, 2005 8:22 am) I would think your dealer would have some experience with the clockspring and what problems it causes, I know there was a recall and replacement for earlier year Caravans as our 1996 was subject to this recall, so I would talk to the service adviser specifically about your symptoms and suggest that you think it might be related to the clock spring, especially since the airbag light going on and off is related to turning the steering wheel.

Replying to: badgerfan (Jul 08, 2005 9:22 am) I just spoke to the dealer and they are telling me there was a recall between 1998 through 2000 vehicles. Well my van is 2001. Their attitude is it's your problem not our. I guess I have to pay for this myself. I also emailed the Chrysler Corp and explain my problem and my dissatisfaction. I hate to say this but what happens after the sale is customers problem. I probably never buy another Chrysler again.

Replying to: chan1 (Jul 08, 2005 9:41 am) Clockspring is not that big of a deal. Part is not expensive, and you can install it yourself if you're handy. Replies to this message: chan1 (Jul 09, 2005 5:50 am) dennisctc (Jul 09, 2005 7:24 am)

My company manufactures Clocksprings, we've quoted them to DCX. We charge about $10-$15 for one!!! talk about markup!!! We don't supply this specific Clockspring to DCX, and they're all soo very different or I'd send you one for free!!!   I think a company by the name of Methode makes them for DCX.

Replying to: scamper225 (Jul 07, 2005 2:20 pm) It could be something as serious as a blown head. If you have a lot of miles on the engine the engine may need to be replaced. Usually loss of power and popping noises in the engine signals that the engine is about to go out. I had that same thing happen on a vehicle before, not a minivan, but the vehicle had over 200,000 miles on it. It started putting out and making a popping noise in the engine. I would take it to the shop for a diagnosis asap. You may also want to check and see if you are losing oil. If you are losing oil or the oil has water in it then you may have a blown head.

Replying to: chan1 (Jul 08, 2005 8:22 am) This is about the clockspring and what it controls. I hope it helps you.   http://dodgeram.info/tsb/recalls/982.htm
#2995 of 4276 Power Outlet Fuse by cto Jul 09, 2005 (12:00 pm)
I have a 2001 Grand Caravan. It appears that I have blown the fuse in the outlet that has permanent power (not the switched one above). The two outlets are located to the left of the storage area in the center console. The fuse for the switched outlet is in the relay/fuse box next to the battery but the one I am trying to locate is nowhere to be found. The Edmunds book for this year does not show the power outlets in the wiring diagram... Any suggestions?
