Replying to: mommylizard (Jul 25, 2006 8:49 am) I was having the same problem. I changed the fuses and it continued to do it. Finally it quit working and didn't come back on. I had a diagnostic test run. It was my instrument cluster. I found one at a salvage yard in Illinois on line for $39.00. My van is a 1997 with 257,000 miles.

Replying to: shg1027 (Jul 25, 2006 9:56 am) Thanks for the info...I will have someone check into that. I will also look online for a instrument cluster and see if that is something that I could replace myself. I take that you have not had any other problems since then?

#4124 of 4276 Re: 99 dodge caravan radiator/transmission problems [got2know] by mfahey1 Jul 25, 2006 (2:26 pm)
Replying to: got2know (Jul 25, 2006 9:16 am) I think the dealer may be trolling for business. The reason the radiator had transmission fluid in it is because the transmission cooler that is located inside of the radiator was leaking. It leaked into the radiator because the pressure in the transmission is higher than the radiator, the exception being when everything is shut down and cooled off. As far as why the transmission was slipping, my guess is that it was low on fluid due to the leak. For the short time you experienced the problem, I doubt this will cause a long term problem. However, by all means, have them pressure flush the transmission to replace all of the fluid. If it is still slips, then you have a legitimate claim with the warranty company.

If the trans is stuck in 2 all the time it could be in limp mode. If it is, the fix is to replace one or both of the transmission sensors, a relatively inexpensive fix. Input speed sensor, output speed sensor.
#4126 of 4276 Re: 97 Grand Caravan Steering Wheel Noise by gebalind Jul 26, 2006 (8:28 am)
My 97 Grand Caravan steering wheel/column has a rubbing/groaning/creaking noise when I turn the wheel, only in hot weather. I had this problem with a Ford Escort I owned. I park outside year-round, and this problem only happens when it's around 80 degrees and up. I read this could be a dry rubber bushing and that you can add graphite to help the problem. Does anyone have information on this or where/how to add the graphite? Thanks.

Replying to: mrgutterman (Jul 23, 2006 6:03 pm) The problem may not even be electrical since you have hit almost all of the possible items. The computer looks for minute changes in engine speed each time a cylinder fires. If the engine doesn't accelerate when a particular cylinder is supposed to fire, it sets the code for that cylinder. Another potential cause could be issues in the valve train such as a bad/burnt valve or a problem with the camshaft.
