Voyager lights go on and off automatically by bestindy

My 98 Plymouth Grand Voyager has all lights come on and go off automatically even when engine / ignition and all switches are off. Mechanic could not find anything wrong (billed me $100 just to take a look). What could be the problem?

2002 Dodge Grand Caravan passenger door by anne16

Our problem is the sliding side door on the van. Something triggers the opening mechanism when we are nowhere near the vehicle. WHAT could make the door open? This has happened twice, and we guess it's someone passing by who has a signal similar to our remote door opener signal. Any ideas?

I don't know what is causing your particular problem but neither does Chrysler. I saw a segment on the news last week about that very problem and the NTSC is considering a recall for that. Check with Chrysler or the National Traffic Safety Commission for updates.
Good Luck

Have you had any luck with this? I'm having the exact same problem. It's become so bad that I have to disconnect the battery at night so it doesn't drain.

We have had the exact same problems with our 96 Ply Voyager. I have had clock spring,(one I paid for and another was factory recall) 02 sensors, ac compressor, 1st tranny (4 yrs ago), 2nd tranny (1 yr in August) Now, when I take off, the speedometer is sticking causing the transmission to jerk into gear. I feel this is the transmission, but the company that replaced the tranny says that it is not and it is electrical. We, only have 83,000 miles on this van and like you, I do not feel good about selling it to anyone

After our lights were flashing my husband drove the car home and disconnected the battery also. In the morning the problem stopped. This was several weeks ago with no reoccurance. Try taking it to AutoZone or Advance Auto, they can diagnose cars (with codes) at no cost. Hope this was helpful.

Hi- I have purchased a used BCM for my '98 Gr Caravan Sport 3.3L for $75. I would like to install it myself and was wondering if anyone could offer any assistance or a link(s) to information?
Van symptoms:
>Instrument Gauges intermittently fail
>Wipers will not easily turn off once turned on.
 
Thanks!

2002 Caravan Turn Signals Won't Shut off by pneuguy
Jul 23, 2007 (3:33 pm)

The turn signals on my 2002 Grand Caravan won't turn off after a turn. For a while, this was intermittent, and happened only on one side. It got steadily worse, until I now have to manually shut them off every time I make a turn.
 
Has anyone heard of this problem? Unfortunately, I have a feeling the only way to fix this is to remove the steering wheel (something I don't plan to attempt myself).

Often times the turn signal stalks have plastic "bumpers" in there that are turned off when pins in the steering column strike them after a turn. They can break or bend over time, which may be your van's problem.
 
I am not certain that this is how the modern Caravan's are set up, but a look in a Hayne's manual (or similar) would probably clear that up.
