Replying to: chryslerfan2 (Nov 09, 2005 7:36 pm) Have you had your fuel pressure checked? Sounds like either a pump failure or filter problem to me. Replies to this message: chryslerfan2 (Nov 10, 2005 8:21 pm) chryslerfan2 (Nov 11, 2005 7:34 pm)

Replying to: gindo (Nov 07, 2005 4:26 pm) Gindo:   I have a 2001 T&C LXI; same thing is happening with it as with your Dodge GC. I saw something about a module. I also read something in Popular Mechanics about a Doge p/u truck with the same problem. A burned out module under the dash on the passenger side.   That is all I know at this time as well. If I hear, I'll let you know. I hope someone has a solution!   dawg81

Replying to: jjtj (Nov 09, 2005 10:00 pm) Thanks for the imput!!   ORIGINAL FUEL PUMP lasted 13 yrs, 1 mo. 2nd PUMP lasted 16 mos. 3rd PUMP lasted 6 wks. Now 4 wks into 4th PUMP.   TODAY, went back to my local GOODYEAR Service Center which has done majority of recent repairs including FUEL PUMP, CAT, SENSORS, etc. They put in NEW IAC MOTOR.   Car was fine after repair for most of day NOW SAME DAMN PROBLEM again but Hesitation, Back-fire, etc is much less than before.   Any other ideas??   This is getting frustrating with a vehicle that until now, 14 yrs, 8 mos, has been extremely realiable Replies to this message: chryslerfan2 (Nov 11, 2005 7:34 pm)

Replying to: chryslerfan2 (Nov 10, 2005 8:21 pm) Some further info   Back to GOODYEAR today-- discovered that coil not putting out proper voltage & 2 cylinders misfiring.   After replacing coil & MAP Sensor again still same problem   CONCLUSION-- bad computer. Outside badly corroded & electrical harness connection not in great shape either   Seems computer is mounted on firewall in such a position as to get constantly soaked in rain or snow   What the hell were the design engineers thinking on this one?   At least the computer is supposed to be less costly than the fuel pump

Replying to: hershberger (Jul 26, 2005 4:00 pm) 2001 T&C Limited/80,00kms-I occasionally have the same problem with my ignition key. So far I have been able to just remove the key and insert it with the opposite side of the key. This has not happened for a few months now. Replies to this message: ltchatty (Nov 29, 2005 6:48 pm)
#3404 of 4276 Re: water leaking into interior [michael700] by tisnart Nov 13, 2005 (2:15 pm)
Replying to: michael700 (May 23, 2004 10:43 am) 2001 T&C LImited-You are exactly right. Without that longer drain tube installed the condensate is forced back against the firewall where it penitrates the drain opening around the tube and leaks inside on the passenger carpet area. Mine did the same thing until DC techs put the extension tube on the factory drain tube. There is a TSB regaurding this problem and your DC techs should be consulting these factory buletins before trying to make any repairs. I am certain that I won't have the wet carpet issue again.
#3405 of 4276 Re: Seat Warmer [crossedfire] by tisnart Nov 13, 2005 (2:30 pm)
Replying to: crossedfire (Feb 18, 2004 2:53 pm) 2001 T&C LIMITED 80,000kms -I too have had problems with the driver's heated seat since I took ownership at 21,000kms. Under warranty, they replaced the seat cushion heater grid a few times and when I insisted they repair this problem properly, they finally had to order and replace the whole seat back portion of the seat which retailed at $1700 Canadian. Further investigation on my part revieled that this was a common factory problem and the seat back heater grid is sewn in the assembly and can't be replaced separatly. The cost of the seat back is so high because,my van is equipped with side air bags which are part of the seat back assembly.

Replying to: nikita2 (Nov 04, 2005 9:56 am) After having the car in the shop three times, this is the progress report: 1. Repair shop claim on my receipt that they found the short by doing the following. 2. Repair shop install a new ignition switch. 3. Repair shop install a new safety switch. 4. Repair shop install a new starter.   After having the car for 20 minutes, Once again the car won't start, so the vehicle is tow, this time: 5. Repair shop removed my car alarm b/c they claim that was the problem.   I get the car back Friday night park in my garage the next morning, guess what...Saturday morning the car is back on tow to the shop!   6. Since Saturday the car has been back in the shop.   If anyone had this expirince with this vehicle, please let me know. Replies to this message: chryslerfan2 (Nov 14, 2005 9:42 pm)
