My alarm system seems to have put my starting/ignition system into permanent shutdown.All other electrics work fine but when I turn key to start position.... nothing.The lights on the dash all light up but the "Alarm Set" light blinks for a few seconds and then stays on. Is there a way to reset the alarm to unlock the shutdown mode.I have tried disconnecting the battery for a few minutes but to no avail.
Help.

Did you get anywhere with this question? I have the same problem of flashing climate panel lights, but no Check Engine light issue. Car starts up just fine though.
 
Flashing climate light issue started when I disabled after market car alarm.
 
Any ideas yet?

Any chance you are low on brake fluid in the master brake reservoir?

Since I left question about my 1998 Chrysler Voyager I have had the RAC (A UK motoring recovery organisation that I belong to)check it out with their scanner and was told that it had to go to a Chrysler dealer. I had the vehicle taken to the dealers on the back of a flat bed lorry and waited to hear that they had cured it. Unfortunately three days later they told me that they had traced faults in the "serial link" and "PCM" status failure. They offered to change the "PCM" for £1000.00+ (about $2000.00) but could not guarantee that this would cure the problem and further investigation may be needed
Needless to say that the vehicle is now back home without a cure. I'm sorry to waffle on about my woes but no I haven't had any further ideas.

Is it not going up or down at certain times? I have a 1999 Dodge vehicle (not a minivan) with a similar problem. I was told that the section of wire harness between the door and body can fail due to repeated flex from opening and closing the door.
 
You can test this when it is acting up by holding the switch down with the door open and wiggling the wire harness and see if the window starts working. It did in my case, although I haven't fixed the defective wiring yet.

cluster problems for voyager 98 by hockeydad6

I have a problem with my cluster not working in my 1998 voyager. I use to bang the dash to get it to work but that has stopped all together. I have replaced the cluster, I have replaced the ignition b/c when you turn the key a certain way, you see a jump in the gauges and the odometer comes on but turns off after 10 seconds. The cluster does have power and the lights work. The airbag light is on and the horn does not work, do not know if that has anything to do with it. Does anybody have any ideas?

This seems to be a fairly common problem, and usually a few cents of solder will fix it. I don't have the details as our 1998 hasn't had the problem yet, but if you google it, you'll probably be able to come up with them.

Over the past year or two, we've had the same problem. I kept putting it off cause I don't drive our 99 Grand Caravan too much. This past month I had to get an exhaust system put on. It was a cold and rainy day and after I put the money in the toll basket, the window wouldn't go back up...
 
I ripped apart the drivers side door and couldn't narrow it down to anything. Called the local NAPA store and they had replacement motors in stock for $57.00. So, I gave it a shot and replaced the window motor. It's been working ok since.
 
Now, if only I can get the instrument panel lights and gages to stay on....
 
This will be the last Chrysler product owned by us. Way too many problems with this vehicle since new in 99.

Yup, I just had to put a new window regulator (lift mechanism and motor) in our 1998 this week. My question is, "So?" my car is nearly ten years old and yours is nearly nine, and things wear out, regardless of brand, model or age.
 
Regarding your instrument panel problem, the U.S. Government mandated the reduction/elimination of lead in solder some time back, and every manufacturer from children's toys to high end muli-bazillion dollar satellites have been suffering from the formula change in solder. In the case of your instrument panel problem on your 1999 DGC, it is a fairly common failure and a very easy and cheap fix to resolder the failed connection.
 
Tell you what, if you lose your attitude and give us a list of troubles that you've been having, we might be able to help you find solutions. FWIW, many of us believe (me included) that the Gen 3 vans are a very robust design good for many hundreds of thousands of miles with just normal maintenance and minimal cost repairs. Treat them well and they'll give you a long service life.
 
FWIW, our 1998 DGC Sport has over 150,000 miles on it and it has been (in my opinion) the model of reliability.
 
Best Regards,
Shipo
