Has anyone had any luck finding a good service manual for the latest generation of vans (01 and up)? The newest I've seen is a Haynes manual, which is for 96-2002, which I don't fully understand as the last gen. ended in 2000. There are some Chrysler factory manuals on ebay, but I'm not sure how friendly these would be to a driveway mechanic. Jason

Just about everything I've ever needed to do on my Accord is in the Helm OEM Manual. The service manuals are worth the search, I've had Haynes and Chilton and they don't begin to compare (though they aren't really aimed at the same audience). But just recently in fact with the Haynes manual.....it was just plain wrong about something I needed to do and even the picture was wrong for my year even though according to the book it should have worked. Get the service manual and you will be able to figure it out. good luck! |

I live in SC, but my wife is taking care of her father's funeral in MI, so I am trying to diagnose this problem long distance. The radiator was recently replaced due to a crack in it, but some similar problems/symptoms are occuring. Sometimes (not all the time, but too many times to ignore), at highway speed (70+ MPH), with the a/c on, the temperature gauge slowly inches up past the normal range. It does not reach the point where the engine overheat dash signal comes on -- yet -- but it does go up too high and too freqently for my liking. The a/c will start blowing warmer air. (On the way up to MI, she was stuck on the highway for over 2 hours due to an accident, in hot weather, and at the beginning of this stand-still, w/the a/c on, the gauge started creeping up. She turned a/c off and gauge went back down to normal range for duration of stand-still.) My brother-in-law just yesterday replaced the upper radiator hose, saying there was a crack in it. My wife drove it immediately after that with no problems, however later when she drove it that day on the highway, the same problem occurred. Any help/suggestions would greatly be appreciated. gabhanjacisa  peoplepc.com

| I have a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan. While driving it one day not far from homeit jerked twice and the transmision blew up.Parts flew out of the bell housing on to the road. It did'nt have 40,000 miles yet.I know that the warranty ran out at 36,000 I contacted Chryslers help line. They wanted the original reciept, sounded fishy,I copied it at Kinkos and sent it off.Chrysler got back to me stating that there was nothing that they could do. I'd like to know if this happened to anyone else.What do I do now? | |

Replying to: gabhanjacisa (Jul 14, 2005 5:59 am) Considering it still heats up on the highway, I guess you can nearly rule out a cooling fan problem. Does it lose coolant at all? You could check the thermostat for proper operation or just go ahead and replace it. Takes about 15 mins and is usually a cheap part. It could be failing intermittently and trapping coolant. check back if you figure it out

My '96 Grand Caravan is blowing warm air on the AC when the car is stopped in traffic. However, when we are moving - either city driving or on the freeway, the AC is blowing cool air. Any suggestions on what is causing this and what can be done to fix it. Thanks
