My abs, brake, esp/bas, and esp/tcs lights all came on at once. Every time I start the car they are off and about thirty seconds into motion they all come on. Brakes seem to be functioning fine. It's a 2008 T &C with about 90000 miles.
Most likely ou have speed sensor that Is not giving the correct info. At startup the abs does a self check and since the light stays off until you drive it there is no issue with the systems integrity. The light comes on after you start to move because the system is not seeing the info it should be seeing.
Your best course of action is to have the abs system scanned for trouble codes. This will help narrow the possibilities. Once you have the codes post them here.

I need to know how to access the wiring to the 1st row lcd screen. It has an electrical problem and will not turn on anymore. Apparently the wiring has caused the 2nd row monitor to be unable to receive a signal. It turns on but displays two gray screens numbered 1 & 2. Sometimes it communicates with VES controls in the dash and will say playing video but screen is black. You can no longer veiw the video being played on the lower DVD player on the dash screen. It shows the counter and the commands but no picture. Rear VES controls are grayed-out on touch-screen. Turn Rear VES On softkey will blink but nothing happens. Second row monitor and Lower DVD unit can only be turned on using the remote.
Town and Country, Grand Caravan, and Routan are all having this same problem with the VES. 2nd row screen is blank and 3rd row screen shows split screen with no signal. Here is the fix.

The ABS, ESP/BAS, TCS, and BRAKE lights all come on when the car starts to move. Took the car in to have the code checked, and the guy came back with code 2200 - said the ABS Module is malfunctioning (brake pads, rotors, etc. all in great working order) - could be a loose wire, it may not be grounded properly, or the module is just bad. But, the guy said he had no way of testing for the former two and could only replace the whole module. This is a pricey part to replace. Is there any way for me to see if it's one of the relatively simple fixes myself or is this one of those 'for professional hands only' problems?
The cpu moniters all the systems you mentioned so any one of the sensors can be faulty and put the light on. In my reference book on codes OBD-11 P2 the code quoted refers to nitrogen oxide sensor bank 1 circuit malfunction causes wiring NOx sensor or heated oxygen sensor 3 bank1. Wiring short to positive---short to ground ---ECM unless the ECM controls the abs etc I would be seeking a second opinion as to the problem
My reference is Auto data diagnostic trouble codes Engine management systems--2012

how do you remove the rear wiper arm on a 2008 town & country
1. Remove the cap by inserting a flathead screwdriver on the side of the wiper arm to pop it off
2. Remove the nut holding the arm to the motor shaft
3. Now for the hard part, put the flathead screwdriver between the wiper arm and the base of the motor shaft. You should be able to wedge it in there so that you can put slight pressure on the bottom of the wiper arm and the base of the motor. Now wiggle the wiper arm and pull up while you turn the flathead screwdriver to help pop it off. Just keep wiggling and turning the screwdriver to pop the arm off.
4. Once the arm is off it should be obvious why it was so hard to get it off. There are threads on the motor shaft that tap wiper arm when you crank the nut down on the arm. That's why it doesn't just fall off when you take the nut off.
5.. Put the nut on tightly so that it creates the new threads on the new wiper arm.
6. Test it.
7. Put the cap back on.

i have a dvd player that only plays in the back when iam driving,but in park plays up front,how do i get this to play it while driving,is there a way i can by pass the safety.....thanks
While in park, get the movie playing. Then press on the "Audio" button. This is the button that displays the speaker balance (front, back, left, right). While the audio display is still showing, put the car in drive (or reverse to back out and then drive). Once you are underway, press on the "Audio" button. The video will continue to play up front while you are driving. You have to do this each time, but its not that big of a deal. Obviously this is for the front passenger's use, and not intended for the driver.

Need a wiring diagram for 2008 Chrysler Town and Country driver window
oh, here it is. yes, go to BBB Industries, follow clicks to "free wiring diagrams"...pretty easy, so easy sometimes I go over and over back to it to see something I maybe missed...do I sound like a dim bulb, lol? http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html
Now, to refresh, if you get no satisfaction there, you can always register for free at autozone.com, and list your '08 T&C van, really as many vehicles as you want to, and from there you have a fair chance to see a real wiring diagram for the power windows. sometimes autozone is pretty chintzy with their informational materials, if you know what I mean. But a good enough site that I list several vehicles of mine there-some decent and useful repair guides and diagrams there.
Finally, a Haynes manual is almost the best all around product or source for the DIY/er to find that information, short of the Factory Service Manual that mechanics use-which is getting into higher price ranges. A Haynes manual is about $26 last time I checked.

how do you compress the caliper on a 2008 town & Country?
2008 Chrysler Town and Country
Replacing the Rear Brake Pads
Process is typical except for the rotating (screw type) brake piston.
You cannot just compress the brake piston with a C-clamp, you have to
turn the piston back in. This is easily done with the correct tool
(Rear Disc Brake Piston Tool). The tool I had needed to be slightly
modified to fit Chrysler's pattern.
Most Auto Parts store like Auto Zone and Parts Source will have the tools for lone or you can buy the tool and keep it in your tool box and the price ranges from $12.00 to $50.00 depending on the brake tool as to universal or specific to the vehicle make. Good luck and keep me posted.

error code C2200 on 2008 Chrysler Town and Country
This fault code could be the ABS control module connector. But the code indicates an internal failure of the ABS module module itself.

ac is completly charged.i send power to compressor it kicked on and get cold.but when i take power from compressor it turn off...... i also replaced pressure sensor.
I don't think you can troubleshoot the system without a shop manual to get the wiring diagrams.
You have at least two pressure switches, plus a relay and the controller, not to mention the body computer involved in the main circuit.
All of the components would need to be tested with a meter.
