#3923 of 4276 Re: 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan alternator or voltage light and starting issues [hatemydgc] by mrbizness1 Apr 30, 2006 (6:28 pm)
Replying to: hatemydgc (Apr 30, 2006 1:03 pm) This sounds exactly like the problem I had with a Maxima alternator. One minute it was putting out 15 volts the next minute 11.5 volts. Three Maxima alternators I had Pep Boys install in a month all had the same problem, bad diodes. Took the car to a Nissan dealer and had them replace it with a factory re manufactured unit, End of problem. Caravan alternators are controlled by the computer. The a/c fan control lights could be on from the battery being disconnected or going dead. Mine came on when I had the battery changed. I think those lights can also be used to diagnose problems. Dealers can be expensive but the techs are usually more familar with the cars the dealers sell. good luck

Anyone else get a recall notice? I received one in the mail yesterday regarding some defective fuel lines (?).
