#1 of 1 Help - Electrical Problem 2004 Caravan by mtb82

May 14, 2012 (8:48 am)

I have a 2004 Caravan 3.3 with about 130k miles. Over the last year we have been having intermittent electrical problems.
 
When driving the instrument cluster will flicker. It doesn’t quit, the lights flash and the gauges fluctuate. Most the time if you touch the brake, they will come back but you lose them again when you accelerate. If you turn the car off it will not start unless it sits for a while (few hours). I have found that if I swap the starter relay it will start again without problem. This only occurs once in a while – it has gone months without issue and now has done it three times this week.
 
Any ideas would be great. Could a bad starter ground contribute to this?
