To flush the power steering system on a 2005 Dodge Caravan, start by lifting the front of the vehicle and ensuring it's secure. Remove the power steering reservoir cap and siphon out the old fluid. Then, with the engine running, turn the steering wheel from lock to lock to help expel old fluid, and add new fluid until the reservoir is filled. Repeat this process until the fluid running out of the return line is clean, then reassemble and check for any leaks.
