Replying to: kochese (Oct 29, 2009 2:41 pm) Ah, I skipped that phase. Here in Alaska, we often do things a little differently than the civilized world.   There is a Johnstone Supply in Anchorage, which is a mere 350 miles away. I will check them out this winter when I am next down that way. Replies to this message: kochese (Oct 30, 2009 2:53 pm)

Replying to: dodgenightmare (Oct 16, 2009 10:25 am) Hello,   Thank you for your very detailed and thorough response.   I could be wrong, but I don't think it is the speedometer and tacometer cable because the symptoms are a little more severe. It it's mildest form, the lights on the dashboard (gear indicator, mileage indicator) just flicker. When it is having a "bad episode", all the dials spin, warning lights ping on and off, radio goes on and off, DVD sysytem starts and stops, HVAC system pulses air (while in the off position), headlights flicker...and now it completely shuts down while I'm driving. This is obviously a problem as it is hard to maneuver a moving van with no power steering or power brakes. And as an added bonus, which I discovered 2 days ago, the hazard lights appear to not work either when there is a complete loss of power. As the dark powerless vehicle comes to a stop, I have heard a clicking noise- to me it sounds like the noise an ignition makes when your battery is dead and the car doesn't turn over. I have only heard that noise once, it's possible it has happened other times and I haven't noticed as my main concern is to get my car off the road safely.   These problems are intermittant. There does not seem to be a correlation between moisture in the air, or temperature differences. When I have brought it in to the shop, they have on occasion seen "the issue" but then when they hook up their machines it is fine. The van usually behaves itself for a few weeks to a few months after such visits to the shop.   Do you still think it could be the sodor? My thoughts are I am going to try to get it to "behave" and trade it in this weekend! Replies to this message: xwesx (Nov 19, 2009 1:00 pm) kochese (Nov 19, 2009 6:13 pm)

Replying to: wantanewcar2 (Nov 19, 2009 8:13 am) Sounds like a bad connection. I would start with, perhaps, the primary ground from the battery. Often times those connect to a bracket, which is (in turn) connected to the engine block. It may be that a connection is dirty or just loose enough that it has too much resistance (or breaks connection altogether). Replies to this message: kochese (Nov 19, 2009 6:13 pm)

I have a 06 Dodge Grand Caravan that has a left rear blinker problem. I changed the bulb twice without any luck. It still does not work. I changed the fuse and still no luck. Anyone had any ideas?

Replying to: forte4415 (Nov 30, 2009 8:48 am) Is it only the turn signal light that is not working? Do the brake, backup, and running/parking lights all work OK? Is the turn signal bulb just for the turn signal,or does it have another filament in it for another function, such as the running/parking lights?   Bad/corroded socket or a loose wire.

Replying to: srs_49 (Nov 30, 2009 9:44 am) It is just the left turn signal. There is no other functions for the bulb. I check the wires and the socket, which seems to look good. I saw no loose wires. Replies to this message: amandash (Nov 30, 2009 1:11 pm)

Replying to: forte4415 (Nov 30, 2009 10:12 am) I had a similar problem which took me a while to figure out. It turned out to be the seating in the lens that was broken and was not mating properly. Mine is a 98 but the construction may be the same. Good lock in solving the problem.
