#1 of 2 Electrical problem 98 Plymouth voyager by badluck15

Dec 06, 2010 (2:19 pm)

In the last few months my car has started acting crazy. first the emergency brake light stays on and is still on the the ac/heat will go out and sometimes not even come on. Then my gas Gauge is staying on E. I've filled it up every week since it started and still does it. More recently my back windshield wiper has started running by it's self and spraying water everywhere.(I think it's cursed). Before all this started my radiator blew. Had a new One installed by "professionals" got it back and it started overheating took it back to the so called pro's they said the fan wasn't working said a sensor had blown and wanted to charge 500 to fix it I declined and just hooked a hot wire from the fan to the positive to the battery. Since then I plug it up everytime I start the car. I have had to replace the positiv terminal 6 times do them being burnt (I believe by the hot wire) could the hot wire have caused some internal damage? Now even if I start the car without connecting the hot wire it stills acts up with all the problems listed.

Hi there I have the same van and there are similar issues going n with mine as well, this vehicle specifically ones that have an "R or B" in the eleventh character of the VIN number that were recalled due to electrical issues, where when they replaced something for the fan and I guessing it was the relay, that the fan still no longer worked, the computer has to be flashed by the dealer. This was listed at the Dodgeforum.com siting recall # 771, check into that we are going through this same issue now.
