Dodge Caravan

Bearing going bad?

The 2002 Dodge Caravan 2.4 liter engine cooling system has a coolant capacity of 5.5 gallons. The cooling system fluid should be 50 percent anti-freeze.

There shouldn't be a fuse for it, if none of the brake lights work, it's probably due to a bad brakelight switch, which is located under the brake pedal.

Usually if one side cancels, but the other doesn't, the turn signal switch has failed

P1391 - intermittent loss of cam or crank. Typically indicates a problem with either the crankshaft, or camshaft position sensor.

The first thing I'd do? Replace the cam sensor in the distributor, the most likely cause that hasn't been eliminated yet. After that it comes down to chasing wires. Generally when you see this code it's a cam senor fault though.

Most likely cause is the seal under the roof rack closest to where the water is coming in.

If you get under your car, look between the transmission oil pan and the motor. It is in the rear of the block of your motor. If you have the tools it won't be difficult just dont do it when the motor is hot.

all you have to do is fallow the line coming out of the compresser on is the high side the smaller fitting is the low side

A brand new caravan door costs about seven hundred dollars. In addition, the cost of a new caravan door ranges from five hundred to over a thousand dollars.

I have a 01 Malibu and I tried the other week end to put up sun visors on both the driver and passenger side and I couldn't get the up it was so difficult lol so when you find out u need to let me know asap

The wheelbase of the vehicle. Measured as the distance between the axles, rather than the actual wheels or tires. 121.2 in

it takes about 6.5 hours round trip you need to remove the dash to remove the heater box

20 gal tank.

Crankshaft sensor is on the back of the bell hosing of the transmission

and the camshaft sensor is behind of the motor mount on the left under the coil pack

It is in the right kick panel. You have to install a prom also/.

They typically seize to the shaft of the wiper motor. Sometimes you literally have to peel them off.

Check to see if the security light is on. If so equipped the security passlock system may be shutting it down. Other than that there is a lot of things that could be wrong

Sounds Like a problem with your sensors or elictrical components on your dash. Have you had issues with Water? We also have the 96 Achieva and I need to park it nose up to prevent water damage when it rains on floor..Ecspecially the drivers side

Still take to a qualified mechanic for a diagnostic. Ask for pricing in advance as some will do the service for free but most charge 50-80 or an hours labor :( Just to hook up to the machine.

The Body Control module is located under the instrument panel on the drivers side. It is attached to backside of the fuseblock/junctionblock two of the three connectors can be seen under where the fuses are. It is a metal box 5 1/2 inches X 7 3/4" X 1.5 ".

4.5 quarts

I've not had this problem in a Caravan, but my Camaro had the same exact problem, so I suspect from my background as an industrial electrician that the answers will be very similar.

The Camaro has a circuit board on the back of the gauge cluster that connects all the gauges. Mine was cracked and the ground foil was not making good connection. ALL the gauges would flutter and then go either full max or full min.

If you can see the bad connection, you can try repairing it with some solder; you may have to scrape the coating off the board to get the solder to stick. That worked for me for about a year. Then I ended up removing the gauge cluster again & getting the entire circuit board from my local junkyard.

You might also check the ground from the frame to the engine block, but I suspect that if that ground was bad, you would have runnability problems. Good luck!

It is called 'trans range sensor",it is part of the valve body,trans pan has to be removed to access it

tell u fill the reservoir ...you don't need to add brake fluid unless u have a leak...if your brake fluid is low but not full that means you could have worn pads and there is no need to add brake fluid....if u have bad pads u will hear a scraping noise...if the brake pedal is spongy like soft you could have air in the lines and needs to be bled...there could b more problems but that's the basics

I had the same problem and fixed it using the following steps. I am not an expert or even very mechanically inclined, just desperate to get this fixed without spending any money. This was done on a 1996 Dodge Caravan. Similar steps should apply to a number of years of the Caravans and Voyagers.

Two people will make removing the panel easier. To do this, you'll need a Phillips screwdriver, penetrating lubricant, and pliers.

First, if you cannot open the door at all: There is a small plastic disc plugging a hole just above the latch on the inside. Pop out that disk, and use a screwdriver to lift the latch mechanism. It should not take a great deal of force to move the latch. When the latch moves, push the door and it should open.

1. Remove the plastic panel on the inside of the van. You need to remove the handle and several screws on the perimeter of the door.2. Disconnect the interior door lights by gently pulling the wiring harness (two of these).3. Looking at the door from the interior, there is a small electronic plunger mechanism on the right side with an "accordion" (this is the electric lock). There is a rod that goes from the to the middle of the door, just above the lock mechanism. Another rod goes from the key lock to the latch. This rod, threaded on one end, snaps into a small bracket on the latch. It may need to be snapped back in. There may also be a rubbery/tar-like sticker near the locking mechanisms that can be removed (it can interfere with some of the moving parts).4. Manually operate the plunger on the electric lock several times using pliers. Mine was extremely stiff. It should move the rod at least a full inch.5. Spray lubricant on the latch, the back of the key lock, and the back of the exterior handle. Also spray lubricant into the key lock itself (where the key goes). Do NOT spray lubricant on the electronic lock mechanism or plunger.6. Just above the latch, there is a small hole (only about 1/8" around). Carefully and liberally spray lubricant into that hole in every direction (this is where the rods from the key lock, electric lock, and latch meet). There is a white plastic post that comes out through another nearby hole. Spray lubricant liberally into that hole, too.7. Again, manually operate the plunger on the electric lock several times using pliers. It should be considerably smoother to operate.8. Put your key into the key lock and pull it out several times.9. Spray lubricant into the key lock again, then carefully operate the lock with the key. If it didn't work or was stiff before, it should operate much more smoothly. Operate the electric locks several times.10. When operating the lock, you should see the plunger on the electric lock move to its extents (at least an inch). Watch it when using a key and using the electric lock.11. Check the movements of the rod and plunger when operating the lock, and the movements of the latch when operating the handle (when unlocked). If anything is still really stiff, use some more lubricant and operate the lock and handle again.12. When reassembling the door panel, remember to plug in the two wiring harnesses for the interior lights.
