2000 Dodge Caravan - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Question edited for clarity and funky punctuation. Question moved to make model category. It could be so many things. The first thing to do it check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). A professional grade scan tool computer can diagnose all the electronics. This is a far more inexpensive route than guessing and only takes about 20 to 30 minutes. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

I would replace one of the lighters themselves... not not be a fuse...once you get one out you can test the wires for power...They go bad

Ask dealer service for copy or purchase a repair manual

jack up vehicle, remove tire. knock out old stud with a hammer and punch. put new stud in from back if need be. to draw it up tight.use a lug nut with something under it so when you tighten the nut it brings the stud into position. remove the nut you put on. and replace the tire. good-day! if the brakes and rotor are in the way. you will have to remove them to replace the wheel stud.

Edit a video on this job. That is right you do not have to remove the alternator! You go in from underneath. Here’s a video on the job that I made about a week ago.Works for 1998, 1999, 2000 & 2001 Dodge Caravan’s, town and country and grand Voyager’s. https://youtu.be/CrG8vBuy4xE

Hi there's this website something like reliable-store and it is very amazing for manual for repairing servicing anything someone on fixya recommended it to me and I thank him even today They have full manuals and it's verrrrry c heap and mine I got free in offers 3rd time I bought it, I also had an issue with the file so the girl replaced it in 30 mins there is one website more but i don't remember its name it was 2 years back bitman something link this Try these out brother

I have to use a 15mm open/closed end wrench on the tensioner pulley. Use the closed end of the 15mm and pull toward you and use the end of a cresent wrench to use for additional torque. You can slip the belt over the fixed pulley (not the tensioner pulley). Give yourself more room by not using the hood bar and use instead a broomstick on the right side to prop the hood open. I recommend a goodyear gator belt too. Good Luck, you'll need it with a caravan. Its on the left side. its the easyest pully to see.

SOUND LIKE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING.CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID MAKE SURE ITS NOT LOW.ALSO IF TRANSMISSION FLUID LOOKS DIRTY DARK AND SMELLS BAD REPLACE FLUID AND FILTER.IF FLUID IS GOOD YOU HAVE.TRANSMISSION OIL PUMP AND FORWARD CLUTCH PROBLEMS.

The torque converter is dot all the way in the transmission,converter slips onto trans. shaft three or until your fingers cannot fit between the bell housing and transmission. Requires removal of transmission again.

There is only one system, so your conclusion doesn't make sense. If the front evaporator is leaking, the whole system will lose charge, and the back will not be cooling. Your problem may actually be the front blend door. Recommend you get a second opinon. Evaporator replacement is much more than $300.

his shop has access to a tech support service. Tell him to use it.

May have not reconditioned the heads correctly may have a valve issues because the valve spring is bad or could be an injector or gaskets could be leaking on intake manifold could be a lot of different things that could have happened when they serviced the heads. Best thing to do is compression check find out the range for your compression to be at on the gague. That will tell you what’s possibly happening inside the engine. But you have to look in a chilton or haynes repair manual it will tell you what’s up when you read the compression testing gague.

did you change it yourself. if not i would guess the shop did something wrong and call them to fix the mistake free of charge. also did they do an alignment after changing the rack. that needs to be done to not wear the tires out in miles.

Air bag light on ? Have the vehicle checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's in the air bag control module . That's the way to find out what the problem is . Suggest you take it to a qualified repair shop.

check body ground to batt negative ????
