It is very likely that the root of the problem is the link between the handle and the latch itself. It seems to stretch with time. If you take the inner plastic panel off, you can see a bent rod coming down toward the latch then in to a clip. Take note of where the top of the clip is in relation to the ribs on the bottom of the rod, then pull it out and clip it back in, taking up a few ribs on the rod.

To open the door to do this work, there is a small plastic plug on the inside of the door by the latch. Remove the plug and try to look inside. Slide a screwdriver into the hole and under the piece of metal attached to the rod (that one which I was talking about before) then pry up and the door should open, giving you access to make the adjustment.

Open and shut the door several times, maybe even leave it off for a week or so to make sure it doesn't need more fine tuning. Once you're satisfied put the plastic back on and you've got it.

Why does your battery light comes on and the lights in the dash blinks on your 2000 dodge grand caravan?

My 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan began doing this and it is because the battery has a low charge, could be due to old battery, or even bad alternator. The quickest and easiest fix is to charge the battery and then wait and see if it happens again after. If it happens then you should have it looked at by a professional

The rear air conditioner is a separate system. Dodge did a recall because some of the piping deteriorates and loses its charge. It sounds like you are experiencing something like that.
