Re: 2000 Caravan...is this a potentially big problem? [lcraddock] by biff6

Wow! I've heard replacing rack & pinion is very expensive! The new dealer I brought the car to found nothing wrong (again, it was a warm day, not much creaking going on). I plan on bringing it in tomorrow (again) since it is cold and when we turn a corner or hit a bump in the road or drive through a small dip, it feels like we are dragging a dead body under the car.
 
It's a '00 Caravan (Sport model) with 53,000 miles. My wife absolutely loves the car, and I don't feel like going through the process of getting another car. It would really be a shame if something was seriously wrong.

Water Noise under dash by santhony1
Dec 05, 2005 (12:09 pm)
I have a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan. When the van is started I hear a running water noise coming from the dash. The running water noise continues upon acceleration of the van for about 5 minutes and then disappears. I have checked the coolant level as directed by my service department and coolant level is fine. Any ideas?

It may not be a problem. When you start up the coolant pump starts pumping fluid. It does travel through the hoses leading to the heater core inside the dash. Try turning the heat dial to cold before starting it. You should hear far less.
 
Alternately you might have water sitting in the cowling below you windshield wiper arms due to leaves etc blocking the drainage holes.
 
Try the cold start first.

Re: Heater is blowing smelly air [motoringmama] by justaskin

check your coolant level in the reservoir to be sure you haven't got a leak through the heater core. Do this over the next few weeks if the smell doesn't improve.
 
These vehicles are prone to smelly air exchange. I never turn off the blower fully. If you let it stagnate it will get musty and smell. Worse in the summer.

I agree with just4fun2. Check your brake fluid level. Your owners manual should tell you where to look. Fill it up with appropriate fluid, then if the light comes on again after a while and you check and the fluid is low, you either have to go looking for a leak or take it in to be fixed.
 
For the gas smell. Either get under the vehicle and sniff around the gas tank or take it in to your favourite shop and have them look for a leak. fuel smells are pretty distinct and can only come from a leak. they need to be fixed asap.

Re: Blower speed control failure? [mconover3] by justaskin

this is a simple problem to fix.
 
If you have a caravan you will find a plate about the size of a deck of cards bolted (on earlier models) or attached without any evident means, because there are two disposable plastic tabs similar to body moulding tabs, on to the fire wall on the left side almost in line with the serpentine belt. Either unbolt this or pull it out and replace it with a new one. Fairly cheap at a dealer. It is a set of resistors that turn down the fan speed. when they all burn out the fan can only run on high.
 
they stick into the air duct so they can be cooled by the air they circulate.
