1996-2000 Dodge Caravan: Why is my windshield wiper stalled?

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 10:24:52 -0700

I tried to bush some snow off my windshield and my wipers stopped halfway up my windshield and the motor kept making noise. I took it all apart and nothing in the linkage looks bent. I tried WD-40 on as well and that did nothing. The middle main gear moves but slows down halfway through and needed assistance to get through the rest of the way. What is this issue?

So i have a 97 dodge caravan 2wd 3.3ltr i was backing out of my driveway and it hesitated befor moving but moved about an hour later i got in and put it in reverse and it would not move. Pressed on the gas a little and it still wouldn't move all other gears work and fluids were checked and are good. I can feel it shift into reverse but no movement and when the gas is pressed it rev's and sounds like it puttered like it was about to backfire. Any ideas?

1996-2000 Dodge Caravan: Engine dies at operating temp

Mon, 04 May 2020 09:18:34 -0700

My car starts up and drives fine until it reaches operating temp, then it jerks and dies. It’s a 3.8 liter v6 with just over 100k miles. Problems first started on the freeway when it lost power a couple times; the engine never shut off, it just lost power, requiring me to pull over and then worked ok for a couple miles before repeating the problem. About 6 miles later, it died completely at a traffic light and wouldn’t start again. I pushed it to a gas station service center where it started fine for the technician who agreed to still run it through some tests. They called me two hours later to say the van is fine and ready for pickup. When I went to pick it up, it again wouldn’t start, and now finally showed a check engine light. They pulled the code and changed the cam position sensor. The van drove fine on the freeway for about 10 miles, but once I exited, I noticed a hesitation/jerking when accelerating from a stop; this gradually got worse until it started randomly revving and jerking and then eventually died. Engine would crank but not catch. I left the car parked on the side of the street and returned the next day; then, it started up fine and drove fine until it reached operating temp and then again jerked and died. Same problem of engine cranking but not catching. Over the past few months, I’ve changed spark plugs, TPS, checked for sparking with the engine running, changed engine oil and filter, added fuel cleaner, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the TPS, replaced the PCV valve, and replaced the crank position sensor. It continues to have the same problem. It doesn’t consistently throw a code, but when it does, the codes I get are P0340, P0700, P0120, and P0122. I’ve checked whatever wiring I can get to and while a lot of it has pin !$$&*!, none of it looks degraded.

My instrument cluster stops working when I put the van in gear. I recently changed the starter, cleaned all the fuses and relay contacts. What could it be?

I went to start my 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan and it wouldn’t start. It made no noise whatsoever. Even my door locks had to be manually locked because the button wouldn’t lock them. Is it the battery?

1996-2000 Dodge Caravan: Having issues with aftermarket radio and subwoofer

Thu, 25 Jan 2018 06:45:38 -0700

Hello. I installed a aftermarket radio in my van. Works good. I also purchased a 12" subwoofer with a 250 watt amplifier. I purchased a 270 watt amplifier kit. Comes with power, ground and blue amp turn on wire. I have connected everything correctly but I'm getting no sound from my subwoofer. The amp turns on but I'm getting nothing from the subwoofer. I connected the subwoofer to my house stereo and the speaker works fine. But when I connected it to the van. I get nothing. I have a 2000 dodge grand caravan with a factory infinity speakers that I have been told to have a built-in amp to the speakers and control unit somewhere in the van. Haven't located yet. My question is? Does my factory infinity speakers interfere with the signal to the subwoofer, do I have to disconnect the factory amplifier, bypass it or something, or do I need to change the amp wires to a higher wattage maybe a 1200,1600watt kit instead of the 270watt I installed. I have connected other systems in my other vehicles before and never had any problems. I just don't know what is going on. Please let me know if you have incountered this issue and what I can do to fix
