#51 of 385 LIght switch acting VERY weird by ccarbaugh Jan 15, 2007 (9:37 am)
I got a 2002 Lxi. Recently it has been acting wierd. When I open the driver or passenger door the parking, rear and fog lights go on. They never did that before. It does not have auto lights either. Now when I open the door and they go on, if I turn the light switch to parking lights then the fog lights go off but parking light are still on. If I then pull out the switch for the fog lights then all the lights go off just like the switch is set to off. If I turn the switch to full lights then they work fine and if I pull out the fog lamps they turn on. It is just like the Off and parking light/pull out fog setting is mixed up. The lights will go off automatically after like 5 minutes of leaving the vehicle. Anyone heard of this problem and any suggestions what to do? I thought of disconnecting the battery and see if that will reset it. thanks Thanks Reply With Quote
#52 of 385 Interior lights problem by gpoppins Jan 27, 2007 (10:36 am)
On a '96 T&C Lxi the interior lights stay on all the time with or without the engine running. It started as just a flicker but now they are constantly on unless I turn them off at the dimmer switch.   Also with the key removed from the ignition, the piezo beeper stays on even if the interior lights are turned off at the switch. It does go off when the door is closed.   I do not have the diagram of the interior fuse box so I can't tell what relay goes to what.

#54 of 385 99 Town & Country Electrical Problem by ttoplihp Mar 03, 2007 (9:47 am)
I have a 1999 Town & Country Lxi and I have this electrical problem. I went to start the van and it clicked a couple of times and all of a sudden the starter motor started turning the engine over and never stoped until the battery ran down. Now when you jump the battery the starter just starts again. Can anyone help me here with an idea of how to fix this.   Thanks Replies to this message: flavife (Mar 14, 2007 4:25 am)

Replying to: megcou (Jan 05, 2007 5:28 am) Last week I got the same problem. If you do find out what is causing it I would also like to know.

Replying to: ttoplihp (Mar 03, 2007 9:47 am) I have seen this happen when the copper finger in the ignition switch fails to return from the start position. This failure seems to be more common in cold weather when the contact grease hardens up.   Since there is an electrical interlock with "Park" & "Neutral" on the shift lever I have shifted out of "P" or "N" and the starter shut down.   In your case try securing the emergency brakes and have someone step on the brakes and have the shift lever in a position other than "P" or "D" and momentarily jump the battery and see if the starter engages. If it does not then the problem is the ignition switch. As a final test place the shift lever back in "P" and momentarily jump the battery and see if the starter engages again.

Replying to: megcou (Jan 05, 2007 5:28 am) I have a similar problem (but no solution as yet). My battery went dead and after I recharged it, the dash lights flash on and off continuously. I called the dealership, and the service rep was familiar with the problem. For fifty bucks, they will reset it. According to him, there is a sequence of buttons that accomplish the reset, though I am not familiar with which buttons he was talking about. I'm looking for the solution online, but haven't found anything specific.
#59 of 385 Fix for a/c panel flashing buttons. by amandash Apr 19, 2007 (4:22 pm)
I found these instructions elsewhere on the site. I don't remember exactly, but it worked just fine. Hope it will for you. Actually I had to do it twice before it worked.   *****With engine on set blower motor to high, set mode position knob to panel (i.e. full left), open all A/C outlets, set temperature to cold (both levers if so equipped). Now press the wash and rear wiper buttons on the A/C panel simultaneously for 5 seconds (until all LED's light). This should get the test started. Assorted lights on this panel will flash as different tests are run. Eventually if the tests are passed the rear wiper LED should be the only light flashing. Push the rear wiper button to exit test mode and you should be home free Replies to this message: rival13 (Dec 08, 2007 12:09 pm) tomr6 (Jun 01, 2008 3:21 pm)

Replying to: dinobot (Jul 30, 2006 1:29 pm) I’m having the same problems with my 1998 Chrysler Town and Country LX. I find myself not going places because I’m afraid the vehicle will not start when I get back in it. The gauges turn off and antilock break and security light come on. I always said I would not buy a Chrysler, but this one was given to me. Have you found out what causes this problem?
