I am sorry about your problem. I haven't found a resolution for mine yet...as a matter of fact mine took me 35 minutes in the parking lot after church to get it started today. It almost stranded me today. I believe that the problem lies somewhere in the electronics, more specifically the alarm system relays and the sort. The wiring harness could also be defective. I am just afraid a new one would only result in the same problems being that they haven't addressed it on a recall level.
 
Best of Luck

I have a 2003 Chrysler T&C that will stall at stops and will run rough when driving at hiway speeds and the tach will jump 200 to 500 rpms at times it has been to the dealer twice for this problem and all they do is charge me for a rental and never come up with a fix because there is no code.

Welcome to the club. my 1999 T&C Limited is sitting in my driveway as we speak inoperable. I am still trying new things but I am 5+ years investigating. Believe me, if I find the absolute solution, I would post it in a minute. I believe a class action lawsuit is the only fix. We should be able to organize this in todays day and age. Let me know if you are interested.

1999 Town and Country Starting issues instrument panel shut off by aka_ojay

Hi eveyone,
 
I have been reading all your posts. thanks for all the info. My Town and Cournty 1999 has been great up until recently.
 
These are the problems I have:
 - When van is parked on an incline facing forward, the instrument panel (including gear shift) do not light up. Van does not start. After an hour of tries it will start.
 
 - While driving the instrument panel will shut of, car is still operating, gas, brakes etc. then soon after the panel turns on.
 
 - When parked regularly no incline, put key in to start, turn key all systems good, instrument panel lights up and you hear the electrical system kick in, yet does not turn over, like the stareter has been disabled. You hear only a click. After trying many times like 15 mins it now turns over. Weather conditions cold and raining Van outside all night.
 
 - same as above, jus drove the van, parked it then tried tostart after 30 mins does the same as above , but starts after 2 tries. Van now parked indoors.
 
 - Also while driving when going over 80 kms the gears seem to miss? Had a problem like this before when driving it would not switch gears. My mechanic replaced the Transmission sensor. no it is acting upo again
 
Question, I read in a forum a month ago about re-soldering the joints around the motherboard? behind the instrument panel.
 
Does anyone recall this? It was said that this may be the root of my problems. More info on this would be great
Thanks
OJ

One more thing...
 
I noticed that the passenger front blinker (front right) does not always turn on. somedays it would work as normal you hear a regular noarmal pace ticking sound, then somedays it won't turn on and you hear the fast pace ticking sound that is normally associated with a burnt out light. Yet I just changed the bulb.
 
Would re-soldering the joints in the circuit board solve all my problems???
