Where is the solenoid pack on a 2000 Chrysler Town and Country?

Answer 1

Recently I was told that the repair job to fix this would cost $350, which wasn't bad, but (even though somewhat amateur) I figured I could at least try doing the repair myself. I did and saved almost $200.

You can buy the part from Chryslerparts.com for around $170.

The Solenoid Pack is located just below the air filter working from the topside of the engine.

1. Remove the air filter. (after you buy the part from Chrysler, you'll know what to look for)

2. Clean the area very well so that sand or dirt does not fall into the holes after you remove the solenoid pack.

3. From there remove carefully. (you don't need any special tools other than sockets and wrenches) - you'll see 3 bolts holding the solenoid pack down and you'll also need to remove the solenoid sensor wire.

4. Be sure to remove any remaining dirt or gasket.

5. Install new solenoid.

6. Replace air filter. Make sure you don't forget any steps.

7. If you need to reset a check engine light, simply disconnect the battery.

Like I said, I'm no auto mechanic genius, but this was not that hard to do...just requires about 2-3 hours of time.
