This is my first post to any forum, so please forgive me if I break any rules. I have a T C with 170,000 miles on it. The dash gauges have gone out. The dash lights work but the speed, tach, oil and heat as well as gear indicator do not work. The van runs fine. This happened while on a trip and I put 1200 miles on the van while the gauges did not work. I did replace the fuse in the box under the dash labeled "guages". it didn't look burnt, but I've heard these type fuses can be "out" even when you cant see it. Replacing the fuse did not bring my gauges back. So, did I replace the right fuse? I checked all the others and they did not look blown. Is it true that fuses can be blown without looking blown (I pulled all the ones under the dash but they did not look blown.) Help I need my gauges back and don't want to go to a dealer. To give you an idea where I want to go with the van...I have a 96 dodge stratus with 320,000 miles on it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. These are good vans. I've used mine to haul my family, constructoin material (poor man's pickup with seats out) and pop up camper. You just have to stay on top of the maintenance and use proper transmission fluid (Chrysler only) |

We have a 05 Grand Caravan and this weekend the inside door lock stoped working on both the driver and passanger door controls. The remote also will not lock/unlock or open the side doors. The overhead console buttons will open the side doors after you manualy unlock them. When you hit the lock button on the remote the horn chirps as it should but it will not lock/unlock the doors.

They have now diagnosed it as the cluster ? Not sure what that is but they have assured me replacing that will fix the problem. Hope this helps !! |

I have a 2002 Grand Caravan and it has recently started making a "clicking" noise when attempting to start it. While this is happening the speedometer and RPM gauges spike to their limits and then slowly return to 0. This vehicle has a 1 year old battery and has had no electrical problems in the past. Any ideas? Thanks.

Over the last 6 weeks or so this event has happened 3 times. We go to start our 2005 T&C that runs perfectly the previous day and it will not start. The battery is dead and needs to be jumped. The battery and alternator have both been tested by a reputable battery shop and they are fine. After jumping, the car runs great, no problems. The only commonality I have found is that on the days previous to the battery being dead the back doors and hatch have been left open for extended periods. By extended I mean 30 minutes to 3 hours or so. In any case the car has been driven after the doors had been left open, in one case over 90 miles and then the nest morning it's dead. Maybe the doors have nothing to do with it but I thought I'd throw it out there. The only other commonality is that it always happens on a Thursday when my wife has the car loaded to go make our farm deliveries and I'm not home! Frustrating to say the least. Any ideas? Thanks, Randy
