Replying to: mfahey1 (Jun 25, 2006 1:01 pm) I second that. We have a 01 DGC EX and back in mid 2004 had to replace the original Mopar battery. We had no warning, it just died while at the dealership for an oil change. They tried jumping the battery and charging it. Nothing worked. They did test the charging system and starter and all was fine.

Replying to: leisa2003 (Jun 19, 2006 6:29 am) Well, we checked the spark plugs and wires, all is fine their. Tried to jump start it, and no luck. Brother ran code on it, and he said it was nothing electrical. It fires, but just wont start. Any Suggestions? Replies to this message: shipo (Jun 26, 2006 7:07 pm) leisa2003 (Jun 29, 2006 10:44 am)

#4060 of 4276 Driver's door locks when I try to open it. by mreinsmoen Jun 26, 2006 (8:20 pm)
I have a 2001 grand caravan and recently after unlocking the door with the remote all the doors are fine, but when I try to open the driver's door the lock goes down as I pull on the handle. I am forced to time my pulling to just after the lock first goes up. Has anybody else had this sort of problem. I think it is mechanical, but I have not had a chance to look at it. I have no problems getting out of the car. It seems like the exterior handle and the lock are not working together as they should be. Any ideas? Thanks!

Replying to: mreinsmoen (Jun 26, 2006 8:20 pm) This sounds really strange, like there must be a short in the electrical wiring inside the door.   Unless they changed the design since our 1996 was built, Dodge and Chrysler minivan front doors can be opened from the inside without unlocking them, the inside door handle overides the locks.
#4063 of 4276 Noisy Chrysler Grand Voyager by catarinus Jun 23, 2006 (1:14 pm)
I a proud owner of a 2000 Chrysler Gr.Voyager 2.5 turbo-diesel since new. It's popular in Europe diesel versions. The engine is a noisy Italian V.M. unit. I say noisy because I think it is not normal even for a diesel. I know all Turbo-diesel 1996/2000 models make such noise. However 2001 CRD and later models are much more quiet. Is it because of common-rail injection or the noise is due to other system eg. gearbox?Any suggestions?

Replying to: shipo (Jun 26, 2006 7:07 pm) Well we changed the fuel pump, not that, and my brother put fuel in something on top of the engine, to see if it would start then, and no luck. He said it was getting fuel. Could it be the timing belt? This van studdered when it would idle for about a month before it finally died and wouldn't start. link title Any suggestions??? Thanks, Leisa
#4065 of 4276 RE : 1996 Chrysler T&C won't start / stay running by leesprts31 Jun 30, 2006 (4:22 pm)
On wednesday went out to try starting the minivan and it would turn over and run for a second and then immediately shutoff - also noticed that dashboard lights were out and that speedometer and fule gauge would not work either. Took vehicle to repair shop, they couldn't determine the issue of the problem, but after messing around have the vehicle running(not for sure how long), but all dashboard lights remain out as well as fuel gauge and speedometer. Any thoughts on what could be wrong and a possible solution to fix?
#4066 of 4276 Re: 01 Caravan Won't Start [tlsn4] by 98tclxi Jun 30, 2006 (7:31 pm)
Replying to: tlsn4 (Jun 24, 2006 8:16 am) Does your caravan have a security system? I have a 98 Town and Country LXI w/ 137,000 miles (2nd owner). After three attempts,( the car starts but shuts itself off after a half-second... ) the security system needs to reset. IF left for an undetermined time...maybe an hour, maybe 12 to 14 hours ( my last couple of experiences) it will miraculously, restart. It appears to be associated with locking the vehicle. Hitting the switch from the inside to lock the car causes or appears to be the culprit. I was advised if the key is used to lock from the outside, it shouldn't activate the security system. It is very bizarre, but this has been a nuisance for me over the last 6 months or so. Replaced the starter, foolishly, but was hoping it was a fix. Not. I still need answers.
