#66 of 123 Re: Disable/Plug Send/Rec lines for Town and Country [dshymanski] by alphorn Dec 30, 2007 (7:44 pm)
Replying to: dshymanski (Sep 04, 2007 5:21 am) We just spent $600 having the rear heating system lines replaced and all that wnet with it in our 2002 T&C. Do you think there is some kind of design flaw that could be turned into a recall? 5 years is much too soon for a garged van in NJ. I think there is probably a desing flaw with the catalytic converter, as you suggested.
#67 of 123 2002 T&C limited -- climate control problems by eddyx1 Jan 01, 2008 (8:28 am)
Front fan will not turn off . Tried new relay switch, still on high. I think it might be the actual climate control in the interior of the car. Also, my front AC never works, but the back does. I am sure it is two different issues, but dealers says $700 at least to replace the climate control because of dual control system (front and back) I would replace it myself, but can't find the right part # or part. Any idea why this is happening? Any idea what part(s) I need? Wife really frustrated, so any help would be great. Only 60K miles.....gets me mad Replies to this message: gvieth (Jan 08, 2008 2:28 pm)
#68 of 123 2005 T&C Limited - blower direction problems. by neil05 Jan 07, 2008 (6:50 am)
Like an earlier post from someone else (no solution provided yet), my blower direction is stuck on front vent. I move my dial around (and the indicator lights move too), but no matter what, it's stuck on front vent.   Any pointers to what part controls this, and where I should look is helpful!   Problems with my HVAC on the 2005 T&C Limited are:     1. Blower direction stuck on front-vent   2. AC compressor does not kick on when I push the snowflake button   3. Lights are burning out like crazy, and only the left most buttons are illuminated on the panel.   Posted those other two problems because I personally think there's some type of root cause behind all of them..   Thanks!

Replying to: eddyx1 (Jan 01, 2008 8:28 am) I have a friend that has a 2004 T & C that can not turn the blower down. The zones work ok except when the system first comes on. He can't turn the system to manual or off. Any ideas?
#70 of 123 Trouble with Front Defroster in Very Cold Temperatures by jeffs72 Jan 20, 2008 (8:37 pm)
When my 2008 Grand Caravan sits overnight and the temps are lower than about 15, the HVAC system won't switch to the dash or defroster vents until the car has had a lot of time to warm up (more than 45 minutes). When it's warmer out, the system switches fine.   I talked to the dealer and they said this is a common problem when they are new. Part of me thinks they just don't want to deal with the car; part of me thinks this might be reasonable. However, I also don't want them ripping the dashboard apart if they don't have to because of the likelihood of introducing a rattle.   The problem is that I have to drive with my window open to keep the window clear. And when it's zero outside, that is not a lot of fun.   has anyone else had this problem? I didn't see any TSB's about it and with the current cold snap, the problem is getting to me. especially since this car isn't even a month old yet.   Thanks, Jeff Replies to this message: tedebear (Jan 27, 2008 8:52 pm) jeffs72 (Feb 04, 2008 7:10 pm)

Replying to: jeffs72 (Jan 20, 2008 8:37 pm) Can't you just switch it to manual control if you want the defrost mode right away? You're talking about the auto climate control, right?   I have a fairly new Chrysler with auto climate control and it takes at least 5 minutes before the fan starts blowing on high when it's really cold unless I switch it to manual.   I guess the engineers figured people wouldn't want cold air blowing on them and the computer waits until the antifreeze has reached a certain temp. Turning the knob from "A" to manual overrides all that. Replies to this message: jeffs72 (Feb 04, 2008 7:10 pm)
#72 of 123 AC Compressor and Evaporator replacement by nightst Feb 02, 2008 (7:08 pm)
#73 of 123 AC Compressor and Evaporator replacement by nightst Feb 02, 2008 (6:55 pm)
I have a T & C 2000, 3.3 w/ 95 K.. My AC stopped working properly a while back and I took the car to the dealership for a diagnose. They told me that evaporator got a leak and the replacement would cost me $1,200. I didn't replaced it since it was still working and I figured, when is completely dead I will replace it myself. A few days ago, I noticed a squeaky noise coming from the serpentine belt. After taking it to the dealership again for a diagnose they told me that the noise is coming from the AC Compressor and needs to be replaced for another $1,300   And now since the AC doesn't work any more I was thinking to replace them both including the compressor clutch, but I've been reading and reading most of the posts related to my problem on this forum and some other websites and before I buy the Repair Manual, I was wondering if one of the Edmund's Professional staff or one of the members can give me some info/tips on how to, and steps to be accomplished. I used to work on small car engines few years back when cars didn't have so many parts controlled by the computers. I also was wondering if the AC doesn't work any more I still have to take the van to a shop to discharge the rest of the freon if there is any left before proceeding with removing the AC compressor? Any help would be gladly appreciate it.

Replying to: tedebear (Jan 27, 2008 8:52 pm) I wish it was that simple. The problem is that no matter what I set the climate control to, the air blew out of the heater vents (the ones at the feet). It did this even if I manually put it on Defrost and put the fan on max (makes for cold feet, that's for sure).   The good news is that we had a warm spell and this problem seems to have corrected itself. I'm not sure if somehow a little bit of water was in the ducts or if the system did just have to "break in". I'm just happy it works right now.
#75 of 123 2001 Chrysler Town & Country - Cabin Heat Issue - Eng Temp Gage Issue by chaz6 Feb 07, 2008 (9:13 am)
I have a 2001 Chrysler Town & Country LX MiniVan. It has nearly 160,000 miles on it. I live in Michigan where it gets cold and snows. Two weeks ago (end of January), the vehicle began having heating issues...    Upon start up, the engine runs fine. The needle on the engine temperature gauage remains at the bottom, at "C" for at least 5 to 10 mins. Then it slow increases to the 1/4 mark. Then within 1 minute it shoots up the the 7/8 mark close to the "H". (The first few times this happened I shut off the vehicle). However, now I found that after another 5 minutes, the needle lowers back down to the "just below the 1/2 way" mark.    At the same time, my cabin heat stopped functioning correctly. Related? Perhaps.    I can't get any heat in the cabin unless I'm traveling at least 40 mph. Therefore while driving through town, there is not heat. On the highway, I have all the heat I want. However after slowing back down to below 40 mph, the vehicle begins blowing cold air again.    Since I take my children to school in the morning, they are freezing the whole way. I don't dare turn on the heat since it only blows cold air, but instead I've given them blankets. After dropping them off, I hit the highway to get to work, and then I'm warm and toasty!    Let me know what you think,    Chaz Replies to this message: tedebear (Feb 07, 2008 2:28 pm) carquest10 (Dec 29, 2008 8:22 am)
