#271 of 383 Re: 1996 Chrysler Town and Country LXI wont start [maxima8] by kawliga1 Oct 01, 2008 (7:52 am)
Replying to: maxima8 (Sep 01, 2008 10:50 am) I've had the same problem with my '99 t&C LXi. I thought there was something that was draining my battery over a period of time. Turns out it was a defective starter. Had it replaced and solved the problem.
#272 of 383 1999 T&C electrical issues by thewyatts11604 Oct 13, 2008 (9:42 am)
We have a 1999 T&C. We just had the transmission rebuilt and the next day the van would "choke" when we would start to drive after being at a redlight, etc. Took it back to the service place today and he checked the fuel pressure..no problems. Ran some tests & went to get a temp sensor and when he came back, the parking lites were flashing on/off and the batter was almost dead. He's charging battery to run test on electrical system. Also, we bought the van used 3 years ago and ever since we bought it, the AC control panel lites flash on/off for about 15 minutes then go off. It does this every time we start the car. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Replying to: robert1955 (Aug 04, 2008 11:06 am) I am having the exact same problem. When my husband removes the fuse and puts it back in it works for a few hours. Then it goes back to the same problem. He replaced the fuse and it did the same thing. Just wondering if you found out what it was. I would love to save a trip to the dealership.

Replying to: maxima8 (Aug 28, 2008 5:40 pm) We were having the same issue with out 99 T&C. I have found that if I try to start it and it doesn't start don't try it again because 3 strikes and your out. If I start it and it dies I take my fist and hit the top of the dash above the steering wheel and then try to start it and it starts up just fine. I know that sounds weird it did it just Saturday and my husband calls me the FONZ. Its worth a shot. If I can get what I mean on video I will but it may be a while because you never know when its going to be testy.   Oh to the previous poster above my post the removal of the fuses worked for a while for us and then didn't anymore. If it doesn't start right up just give it a good whack on the top of the dash above the instrument panel and then try to start it.

Replying to: maxima8 (Sep 01, 2008 10:50 am) I have a 98 T&C and I have had a starting problem for over a year. One day I would not start ( the battery weak) jump starts works like a charm. Would go for weeks, days or months everything OK. Then it starts again. The charging system always test good so does the battery. Checked several times at Sears and Advance Auto. I have swapped the battery with another car it it is running for the last few days. So I want to believe the battery is weak and the system does not like it. I will update this in a few days or if there is a change. Replies to this message: amandash (Oct 21, 2008 10:28 am)

Replying to: dodge05 (Oct 13, 2008 10:41 am) with the minivan alot of times when you remove a fuse the system has to reset itself my suggestion is try removing the hot cable from the battery for about ten minutes then reattaching it this also helps in reseting the transmission when it want switch into overdrive

Replying to: amandash (Oct 17, 2008 9:24 am) OK so far both vehicles going good. I seem to recall this was the identical situation last year. After a while when the original battery is used the problem would go away. When I do so I would update again.
#279 of 383 2005 town and country electrical problem! Help! by ire2aus Oct 26, 2008 (4:00 pm)
I hope someone can help me, I am at my wits end! I have 2005 Chrysler T&C that the dash lights/gauges/headlights/radio turn on and off while driving. Sometimes it will do it every few minutes, sometimes just endlessly over and over. It makes it impossible to listen to the radio, and at night it turns the headlights off! I have taken it to two garages and two Chrysler dealerships. They replaced the battery and a corroded wire, still, the problem persists! I have 3 kids that I need to transport in this car and no one can diagnose the problem. What can I do?

Replying to: ire2aus (Oct 26, 2008 4:00 pm) I had a similar problem - You need to reset the BCM.   You will find 2 plugs below the fuse box on the left side of the brake pedal. Unlug both of them, turn your key to "on" wait 20 seconds, turn key to "off" plug noth plugs back in, you're done.   Let me know Replies to this message: Raiderdad (Nov 22, 2008 2:27 pm) wilanz (Dec 02, 2008 1:55 pm) ire2aus (Dec 02, 2008 3:03 pm) wilanz (Jan 09, 2009 11:18 am) wilanz (Feb 09, 2009 10:47 am)
