jack up vehicle, remove tire. knock out old stud with a hammer and punch. put new stud in from back if need be. to draw it up tight.use a lug nut with something under it so when you tighten the nut it brings the stud into position. remove the nut you put on. and replace the tire. good-day! if the brakes and rotor are in the way. you will have to remove them to replace the wheel stud.

They work inside but not outside truck?

The camshaft position sensor is located under the hood in the center rear engine area, mounted on the rear center of cylinder head on the 3.0L Caravan. Hope this helped and best wishes.

might be the horn itself,power it with a jumper wire to power to see if it works

You probably don't still have the vehicle but for anyone else....that physical snap in point unfortunately has nothing to do with the wires. This happened to mine as my wife thought it was the tilt lever and literally pulled it right out. The wires in the cruise switch lever are broken. It's an easy fix. You have to buy a new switch on amazon or the like, and replace it. You undo 2 screws on the back of the steering wheel and remove the airbag/horn pad. This exposes the inside of the wheel where you can easily see the inner end of that switch, how it's plugged in and the screws that hold it in place I forget exactly but maybe the trim piece on the front of the wheel also has to come off. I think it snaps on but don't quote me. very easy job.

According to this there isn't one https://fuse-box.info/dodge/dodge-caravan-2001-2007-fuses And this confirms there isn't one. The are controlled by the Body Control Module. https://www.chryslerminivan.net/threads/both-headlights-went-out-on-my-dodge-caravan-2005.82722/ No headlight relays or fuses on your model year. It is all controlled by microprocessors in the Body Control Module (BCM) and Front Control Module (FCM). You can try resetting them by removing the IOD memory fuse in the fuse box or the negative battery cable for 5 minutes. Have you tried cycling the headlight switch many times? Still out? There is an extended lifetime warranty on 2005/6 Dodge/Chrysler minivan headlight switches: http://www.aboutautomobile.com/Investigation/2005/Dodge/Caravan/Headlight+Switch It also mentions above there was a recall on the headlight switch https://www.google.com/search?safe=off&rlz=1C1QJDB_enCA643CA644&sxsrf=ALeKk03EyFMxR9dby9JKQqr3KZhyDQ3SrA%3A1612641772078&ei=7PUeYPahBIWk_QbM57ngBw&q=2004+dodge+caravan+headlight+fuse+location ..

AIR FILTER
DESCRIPTION
A dust and odor air filter is standard equipment on
models equipped with the three zone temperature
control systems. The filter element is the
same size as the front air conditioner evaporator to
ensure ample filtering capacity. A removable door on
the bottom of the front HVAC housing below the
glove box provides easy access to the filter element
for replacement. The filter should be checked and
replaced at least once every 24,000 km (15,000 miles)
and checked if heater-A/C system performance seems
lower than expected.
REMOVAL
(1) Locate the air filter door on the bottom of the
lower HVAC housing just outboard of the passenger
side of the instrument panel center stack.
(2) Slide the air filter door latch toward the rear of
the vehicle until it engages the opened stop on the
door.
(3) Pull the air filter door straight downward to
disengage it from the air filter opening of the lower
HVAC housing.
(4) Use your fingers to reach through the air filter
opening of the lower HVAC housing far enough to
grasp the air filter.
(5) Pull the air filter straight down and out of the
HVAC housing.
INSTALLATION
(1) Note the “Airflow” directional arrow imprinted
on the foam seal around the frame of the air filter.
This arrow should always be oriented towards the
center of the vehicle.
(2) With the air filter “Airflow” arrow properly oriented,
carefully slide the filter fully upward into the
HVAC housing through the air filter opening.
(3) With the latch still positioned against its
opened stop, reinstall the air filter door onto the
lower HVAC housing air filter opening.
(4) Slide the air filter door latch toward the front
of the vehicle until it hits the closed stop on the door.

Good luck

The lock is binding and not moving freely to engage.

I would let a repair shop do it

The rack and pinion unit is worn out.

I don't know whether it will fit or not - just wanted to mention how two radiators that seem identical can have a completely different cooling capability due to the number and size of the tubes carrying the coolant through the centre of the core, also variable is the number of gills per inch. Even if two radiators will interchange from one type of vehicle to another and both have the same engine, a vehicle with a reduced airflow through the radiator due to body design could need a radiator with an extra row of tubes. Looking for interchangeability means looking very closely and preferably starting with a parts catalogue to check for identical part numbers... Make the wrong choice and there could be overheating problems next summer.

there is a size difference in the hoses.

If it's like mine, the clear lens "rocks" on two pins to turn the light on and off. Two integrated clips on the white lens attach to the pins.

On the outboard side of the rocker switch/lens is a small slot for a screwdriver slot. You can see it if you use a really bright flashlight (LED or Surefire style.) CAREFULLY slip a blade in there and pry the lens off the pins that it rocks on. There is a pin on each side, and the lens has a clip on each side.

There is a plastic positioning "tongue" on the forward part of the lens that slides out as you ease the lens out of position. So don't just yank that critter out.

The guys at Auto Zone said the goofy bulb under there is propriety to Chrysler, so you'll have to get a new one from a dealer, apparently.

Mine was just scorched a bit, and turning it slightly had it working again. Then I carefully put the lens back in.

I would post a pic that would make this entirely self-explanatory, but they won't let me. Bulb is #578 and i got it at advance auto parts for $4. auto zone doesn't stock it

in the engine compartment near the break fluid resivour.

Remove the instrument cluster, remove it's paper backing, remove circuit board and resorder the points outlined in yellow in these pictures. You are only using a small amount of solder to reheat and melt the existing material that is probably cracked in order to re-establish connection. When replacing the board, make sure the 16 silver prongs are lined up correctly before pressing the board down.

Edit a video on this job. That is right you do not have to remove the alternator! You go in from underneath. Here’s a video on the job that I made about a week ago.Works for 1998, 1999, 2000 & 2001 Dodge Caravan’s, town and country and grand Voyager’s. https://youtu.be/CrG8vBuy4xE

When you say that the fuel pump is good, do you mean that you did a pressure test on it and it was in specs or do you mean that it energizes? If it does engergize then I would do a pressure test on it to make sure that it has the strength to pump fuel from the fuel tank up to the engine.

Here It is. Passenger side of engine.

defective catalytic convertor. It may be plugged up.Make sure ALL the exhaust line from intake manifold(at engine block) to final exhaust pipe are not clogged up.You have reverse exhaust pressure going back towards engine manifold.

What happens when you try starting? Be very specific with the description. What components are going crazy? Again be specific!
