Try cleaning your throttle body and changing your air filter. B 12 throttle body works well. Read instruction label for best results. And or a video on how to clean throttle body.

Flip the pdc over and look for corrison.

check gearing--or debris

Have OBD scanned for fault codes, maybe the crank sensor but codes will confirm the issue

I really don't know the answer to your question but you can turn it on and test all fuses to find which is blown. Or, what I did was to place the '2006 dodge grand caravan fuse diagram' in your search box and press the search and look down the list to find which is yours. That's how I got the full diagram for my '99 ranger just to find which fuse powered the speakers so I could put a switch on it. It always drained the battery and this switch on that fuse worked. No more battery drain.

difficult to say on the costs but when you get a wide range of codes, it indicates a problem ECM so I would start with an ecm reset using the scanner tool. After that substituting the ECM with a known good unit

The power window control panel just snaps in place. Usually, a small thin blade screw driver can be inserted at the edge of the panel, and the panel can be lifted up. The switch is a sealed unit and it is very difficult to "jump". If your dash lights dim, when the button is pressed, this may indicate a significant power draw. It most likely would be that the motor is bad.

The problem you describe sounds more like the track for the window. Lubing it will not accomplish much. Many just replace the tracks. The motor gets hot may be because it is getting high resistance from the tracks. Semper Fi, Z

no easy way to fix .just got to take out the side pannel . be carefull the plastic is very brittle

Sounds like you need to replace the cabin air filter. Here is a link to a page that shows you that this filter is located up under the dash behind the glove box. You do not need to remove the glove box. Just look up under. You will see it. Visit this web site. Dodge Grand Caravan cabin air filter location From year 2001 2002 2003...

I would test the tps. Do It Yourself Diagnosis and Repair

You probably have a bad right side C V shaft. The shaft has a spline joint in the middle; over time water gets inside and rusts the splines causing it to slip(makes grinding noise), and it will not turn the wheel, causing the wheel speed sensor to cause the traction light to illuminate. Replace the C V shaft (reman ones are really cheap)

disable door lock...Close all of the doors of the Caravan and insert the key into the ignition.

Move the key to the "ON" position, and then back to the "OFF" position. Repeat this step four times.

Press the driver's side door lock to the "LOCK" position within 10 seconds of turning the ignition to the "OFF" position. If done properly, a single chime will emit from the Caravan to indicate that you have disabled the auto-lock feature.

also a good video on how to remove door lock on Caravan....youtube.
hope this helps a little

The TIPM totally integrated power module may have corrosion causing cross feeding into other circuits .
