Replying to: aka_ojay (Nov 16, 2008 10:25 am) Haha, that it is!   Part of the problem you are describing (instrument panel going out) sounds like it is the broken solder issue. But, I am not sure that the solder problem causes no-start situations or other electrical oddities, like the blinker and door locks. At least, no such problems with my van, which clearly does have a solder issue.   I think it may be a combination of the solder problem and a problem with the Body Control Module (BCM). Neither of those things should wreak havoc on your transmission's ability to shift....

Thanks xwesx!   Did you or someone else post any info on the BCM or solder issue? If you did can you send me the link to it so I can read it again? Where is the BCM located?   Thanks OJ Replies to this message: xwesx (Nov 24, 2008 9:23 am)

Replying to: aka_ojay (Nov 23, 2008 2:47 pm) OJ - there have been several posts on the solder issue; BCM has also been discussed once or twice since I have watched the discussions. I purchased a '98 DGC in May of 2007, and have watched the boards sporadically since then, so try searching messages within that time frame.   As I stated above, I have yet to address my cracked solder problem. It occurred rarely and for brief times until this September, when it went out for about two weeks before finally working again. Unfortunately, I was just too busy with other things then to deal with it. It tends to behave during the winter months, but once things warm up, it will likely become more temperamental.   I *think* the BCM is located on the firewall in the driver's footwell area. It is a black box with one large wiring harness connected to it.

Replying to: aka_ojay (Nov 15, 2008 10:49 am) I've been through the same issues with my 98T&C. Here is the link to the soldering slide show that fixed my problem http://photoshow.comcast.net/watch/uQ6gE3nV. Before I used this fix I had my cluster panel replaced at the dealership, but a week after they replaced it the car began to stall whenever I made a sharp right turn. Because I had them give me the old part, I was able to perform this fix myself.   I hope this works and if so, pass it on to other fourms.   Nukbuk Replies to this message: xwesx (Feb 16, 2009 11:41 am) srs_49 (Feb 16, 2009 3:13 pm) mismaili (Feb 16, 2009 7:12 pm) martyi (Mar 30, 2009 5:54 pm) xwesx (Apr 06, 2009 12:02 pm) mark3694 (Apr 27, 2009 6:42 pm) nukbuk (Apr 28, 2009 5:55 am) mark3694 (Apr 29, 2009 5:49 pm)

Replying to: nukbuk (Feb 16, 2009 10:57 am) Though I hope I never have to pull the instrument cluster, your video should make it easier. Good job.

Replying to: nukbuk (Feb 16, 2009 10:57 am) Hey Nukbuk, that was an excellent recap, well documented video on the starting resolution. I solved my starting problem with a new circuit board. Now, I wished I had seen this video before buying the new board. Anyway, my issue has been resolved and hope everyone else out there can learn from this as well. regards,   Miz

#121 of 156 2007 stalling without warning by sutphindg Mar 03, 2009 (2:25 pm)
I have a 2007 T&C. Twice in the past week it has stalled without warning while I was driving, both times putting me at risk of serious danger. The dealer can't find anything. I read a blog regarding an earlier model suggesting the keys were too heavy, causing the car to turn off slightly, but I don't have any new keys on my ring. Anyone else have this problem or any thoughts?

Replying to: sutphindg (Mar 03, 2009 2:25 pm) I have a 2007 Grand Caravan, and have never experienced your problem.   When it cuts out, do all the warning lights on the dash come on , meaning the engine had really died?
