#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?

Replying to: johnbender (Jul 09, 2005 8:05 am) oil levels are perfect. always have. it only does it for a few seconds. (less than five) but i will bring it to the shop to be hooked up. could it be the oxygen sensor? also it only has 100k on it. not bragging but is in showroom condition. sharp!? if you dont reply, thank you for your time.

Replying to: scamper225 (Jul 09, 2005 9:06 pm) I don't know if it could be the oxygen sensor or not, but I think you should definitely take it into the shop for a diagnosis. A blown head can occur at any mileage, but if you only have 100,000 miles on it, chances are your engine is still o.k. Although, I did see someone on these forums that was complaining they had to replace their engine on their caravan after about 80,000. All I know is the popping sound followed by a loss of power is a symptom of a blown head or a weak engine. Like I said you may want to check to see if there is water in the oil. Just pull out the dipstick and check to see if there are any tiny water droplets sticking to the oil on the dipstick. If you do see water, then that is not a good sign. If you do not see any water, then you probably do not have a blown head. Your best bet is to take in to the shop and have them look at it, at least then you'll know for sure what the problem is.

#2999 of 4276 A/C compressor problems on '02 Grand Caravan by bryaninoregon Jul 10, 2005 (9:19 am)
My dad has an '02 Grand Caravan and has had 2 A/C compressors installed already, both under warranty. Warranty is now off and he is concerned about future failures as these are not a cheap part. Are there any TSB's or other notices out about this. His van has the 3.3l engine if that matters. Any info is appreciated. Replies to this message: masterpaul1 (Jul 11, 2005 8:00 am)

The power for the powered outlet on the front console comes from a component named PTC7 is listed as a 13 amp fuse. I cannot locate it on my van either. PTC stands for positive temperature coefficients, and I suspect it is a circuit breaker relay type.

Replying to: pasi100 (Jun 18, 2004 12:54 pm) I have a 1998 Chrysler Voyager and recently went to start the engine and nothing no dash lights and just a clicking noise. After three attempts it started and was fine for a couple of days. My local garage said that something was probably draining the battery. Now the car will not start and I had a friend jump start it and after three pushes accelerator it just cut out. I have been told that the internal locking door switch has been touched and activiated the immobliser. Had this same problem 15 months ago and a new battery was fitted.   Any views?

Replying to: daz1 (Jul 11, 2005 1:44 am) Sounds like the battery. I just replaced the battery on my Voyager myself. I don't know why, but it seems like these Voyagers burn through batteries faster then other vehicles. If it has only been 15 months, your battery is probably still under warranty, just take it back to the place you bought it from. As far as the internal locking door switch problem, I'm not sure how to fix that problem, but my guess is that your vehicle will reset when a new battery is installed. Once the vehicle is disconnected from the battery for more then 5 minutes, the vehicle resets everything when it is hooked back up. Replies to this message: sully68 (Aug 05, 2005 3:37 pm)
