I had a mechanic have a quick look and no spark. I get to the dealer to pick it up, get the keys, start the van and nothing, it's just turning over. I get the call that the van is fixed and come and pick it up. Have it towed in and again they say that the ignition coil is not working. Get the van back and about 4 days later the van is not starting, just turning over. Three days later the van doesn't start again, take it back in and this time they tell me that the ignition coil is gone, have it replaced. No charge to fix/replace the hose, but nothing with the radio (out of luck).
They engine light is one because a hose was broken, I can only think that it happened when they were doing the maintenance. I take it back to the dealer and they tell me that the radio is not working (just happened to stop) and they are not going to replace it and it is not covered under my bumper to bumper warranty. Thinking that I lucked out, one day later I get my van back and now my radio is no longer working and I my check engine light is on.

I go ahead with the full 100,000 km maintenance.
but they did find out that it would be covered under the federal emissions control.
Being in shock at the cost but I figured that it is covered under the bumper to bumper warranty I purchased I had no worries. They tell me that the Power Control Module is no longer working and needs to be replaced ($1200 for the part + labour). Close to 100,000 km, I figure I should bring it in for the routine maintenance anyway I have it towed into the dealer. One day mid July 2006 I go to start it and it does not start, just turns over. Thinking that I have a great vehicle I am excited that I no longer have to make a monthly payment. Here is my situation, bought the van new from the local dealer and had no problems for 5 years and 1 month. Hello everyone, I hope there is someone that can help me out. But figuring out what is wrong is the problem. He said that he was having a problem with that and it runs his battery down. When I was at a restaurant one day last week, I saw another Dodge Caravan doing the same thing, the van was off but the wipers were running so I went in and told the guy that his wipers were on. They had a computer hooked up to it for 36 hours trying to catch the switch malfunctioning but could not catch it. Once you jump the car, which just takes hooking the jumper cables up for one minute the car starts right off. However, it has just started doing it again and the car again will not start. So they put a new switch in and they fixed the switch so that it would not allow it to let the key out in the auxilary position. What we found out on the first trip to the shop was the ignition switch was allowing the key to turn off and come out in the auxilary postion so the car was still actually on. Also the cam/crank sensors or and even idle air valve could be at fault.ĭid it throw a code? It should have, check for pending codes and see if anything comes up and report back, something should be stored in the computer.My mothers Caravan is having the same problems! The car will be sitting shut off out side and when someone walks up the windshield wipers will be on and it runs the battery down. You say its under 1000rpm though so low rpms the EGR/PCV valves would make sense if it was surging/idling funny. I dont like running it through the engine (in crankcase/vaccum lines) because normal maintenance is enough and renders seafoaming unnecessary until you get well into the 100k mile mark when carbon buildup is significant. Be careful though, make sure you have full tank when you run bottle through the tank. I like techron but een seafoam has worked magic for some people.

Id check the battery, free tests at NAPA, check/clean all your connections to PCM and any others easily accesible ones under the hood (good habit to get into) Also check out your plugs and you could even run some quality fuel system cleaner through a tank to try and free any build up that may be there. Often an electrical gremlin related to sensors or electrical connections/battery etc. Tough problem, multiple cases like this have popped up.
