I hope this helps everyone a little more. My 1999 Town & Country LTD had the following problems; intermittent starting/stalling problems, speedometer intermittently indicating approx 20 MPH high, door locks intermittently working, rear hatch lock would not work unless pressing the remote while attempting to open the hatch, oil pressure light intermittently illuminating at very low idle and when hot. The starting problem was temporarily fixed by a firm hand on the top of the engine instrument cluster.
 
I read all of the blogs (just like I am sure you all are doing now) and found one common thread for the likely culprit.....the circuit board behind the instrument cluster. Thanks to the following web site (http://www.davintosh.com/2007/09/15/fixin-the-dashboard), I was able to remove the circuit board from my T&C, take it in to a local circuit board manufacturer in the western suburbs in the Chicago area (ManuTec, Inc. Mr Leonard Bednarczyk at 630-543-3022) and his staff of technicians identified 2 soldier joint failures where the main orange connector plug connects to the power chord. One pin had a complete failure, and the other had a fracture and impending failure. I asked the technician to re-solder all 13 pins, and re-installed the C/B in the panel and all items listed above have magically been working as designed. Special thanks to Leonard Bednarczyk at ManuTec! Good luck!! Jim G.

#185 of 205 96 idle problems by cutty96

I have a 96 T&C that likes to stall while at idle and occasionally at cruising speeds.
The check engine light comes on and goes off sporadically. It now has no power with the key off(will not open locks) and every time you start it the windshield wipers operate like you just connected the battery. Also the e-brake light stays on and the air-bag light stays on. A scanner will not work as it doesn't get power from the connector. What the hell is going on?!?!?!

Does Anybody have the Slide Show that Nukbuk had put up a while ago...? The slide show has been taken down and I am starting to have the same problem in my T&C. Or if anybody can help me out with the locations of the soldering that needs to be done?
 
THank you very much!!!

There's a complaint filed with on the NHTSA Office of Defects database under 2010 Chrysler T&C that identifies a wiring harness grounding out on the intake manifold near the upper radiator hose being the cause of that vehicle's stalling problem. Happened when harness was wiggled a certain way. This was on a 4.0L engine, but perhaps something similar is happening with other motors.

I had the instrument cluster problem in my 1998 T & C for a couple years until this past April when I did the same searching everybody does and repaired my instrument cluster myself. The van would start and stall with no readings on any of the gauges until the computer would lock everything out and make it act as if the battery was dead. I pulled out the Cluster and added a drop of solder to the 2 outer most pins, I believe they were black wires and I have not had the problem since. If I remember correctly I think I found step by step instructions with pictures somewhere on the web.
