I brought my Wife's 2005 T&C into the dealer for an oil change and to have them look into a creaking noise under the car and a clicking ot ticking noise coming from the belts in the engine area. The dealer just called me back and said the spare was loose under the car which caused the creaking noise. They told me an edge of the belt in the engine is getting chewed up on one edge and tech needs to find out whats wrong with it. Does anyone have any info on these issues? Common to this van? These 2 new issues are on top of other issues we have run into in the past: Steering fluid resevoir swapped for new, new power steering lines installed. Rear buzzer (?) replaced when it quit working. All this in only 19,000+ miles.....making us a bit nervous. At least with our extended warranty, we get a free loaner. I'm drivng a Jeep Liberty Limited. We have gotten our money's worth from them providing loaners to us while its in the shop..... |

Replaced the evaporator and drier due to hole in evaporator. A/C cooled fine for about 10 days, then was "cool" but not cold like it should be. Brought it back in, and they found a bad expansion valve. Replaced that, and again, it was cold for about 7-10 days, now barely cool. System was pressure checked and there appears to be no leaks. This has been going on for about 4 months now, and I don;t know what to do next. If anyone has any ideas what else it could be, please respond.

2002 T&C EX - 51K miles. This morning I took the car out and had no problems. 6 hours later I go into the garage and the van will not start up. There was a little bit of light on the dash and then I lost it when I turned the key. Just the old clicking noise. Jump started the car and took it around the block. Lights on the dash were flickering on and off and the gauges were not stable. Then then the battery light came on so I parked the car. Do I need a new battery or could it be the alternator or something else? Is there an easy way to diagnose? Could a shop just hook something to the battery to determine the issue?

I just purchased a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan ES and the strangest thing is happening , the left turn signal will not cancel under normal 90 degree turns. If I sit still and activate the signal light I can cancel it buy turning the steering wheel to the left slightly and the back to straight, however when in motion the signal will not normally cancel. Has anyone else experienced this problem and can offer some advice ? |

Replying to: lashleroux15 (Dec 01, 2005 5:55 am) Were you able to fix it yourself? I'm having the same problem with my 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan. The liftgate won't even lift or beep with the remote or interior button. I'm hoping I can fix this myself. Thanks, Tricia |

| try changing fuse #32 (40 amp) in the power control module which is located under the hood on the drivers side. It is the black plastic box near the fender. The top comes off with 2 plastic clips and the inside of the cover shows fuse locations. | |

I am the second owner of this 98 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport and I love the vehicle. However, just recently I seem to be experiencing some electrical problems. I have over 80,000 miles on it and the electrical "shorts" (for lack of better terms) comes and goes. I can drive the vehicle for weeks and then all of a sudden the ABS light comes on and my whole dash display goes blank, the gas gauge reads E, the spedometer is on zero and the temp gauge is at zero too. The locks won't even engage in the vehicle. And then all of a sudden (without me doing anything at all) I will hear a buzzing sound coming from the door locks and everything goes back to working order. Also, two of my lights on the panel that has your heating/cooling settings (the a/c light and the recycled air light) begin to blink everytime you start the vehicle. It stops after a while and as soon as you shut the car off, and back on, it starts all over again. As of this morning my Air Bag light is on and my horn won't work now. Has anyone else had these kind of problems and how do I go about fixing them myself? Is this just a problem with a relay or fuses? I would appreciate any responses at all....

Help: I've been searching the forums for a while, and I'd like to get some opinions on the following problem: My 99 dodge caravan - 4cylinder had a problem over the weekend with the transmission slipping. We towed it into the dealer...the radiator had transmission fluid in it. Since then the dealer has told us the warranty company will replace the radiator, and pay for the transmission to get flushed out. My husband and I are also going to flush the engine, and since the a/c wasn't working they will also replace the evaporator. I would like to know, according to the dealer they feel flushing the transmission won't solve the problem....(they said that the torque converter is contaminated with anit-freeze). I'm sorry but I always thought that once the tranny would start acting up it would just be better to replace it not flush the system. Any input/suggestions would be appreciated. (our warranty is through interstate - the diamond package) Thanks for the help.
