2000 Caravan 3.0L. No odometer or PRNDL display. No A/C controls. Wipers cycle twice when starting vehicle with wiper switch in 'OFF' position. No communication with BCM, IPC, or Trans. Communication allowed only with Engine. Replaced ignition switch and BCM from dealer. Checked all fuses to BCM but cannot test powers and grounds to BCM that come from plugging into juction box/fuse & relay panel. Wipers, RKE, power mirrors, other accessories work. What to do now?

The common cause of this problem is the Park Neutral switch, also called the range switch, it is on the side of the transmission.It mounts externally on the transmission on the front or driver's side of the transmission. Most have a three wire connector that plugs in to it and you can take them out with a socket or large wrench.





Also the instrument cluster needs to be inspected.---------The soldering on the instrument cluster board gets short and causes this problems.------- Also the HVAC control,connectors on the cluster board needs to be inspected.-----
------

The PCM on this vehicle uses inputs from 3 different switches/ sensor for this:

(1) Transmission range switch, located on the outside of the transmission, just above the transmission pan, white in color

(2) Park/ Neutral position switch , also located on the outside of the transmission case, above the pan, near the transmission range switch; black in color

(3) Transmission range switch/ sensor, located inside of the transmission.

This will help.Thanks.helpmech.

My 2007 dodge caravan windshield wipers don't turn off and stay at slow speed only

The wipers are controlled through the BCM (body control module) you must have that scanned to see what is going on with the system. You will need the dealer on this diagnosis.

Dodge journey no bus

Vehicles with more then one module , PCM - engine control module , BCM - body control module , EBCM -anti lock brakes , SRS - air bag module etc... all communicate on a serial data communication network .
"NO BUS" means that the communication system between the computers has stopped. How to Diagnose Controller Area Network CAN If the shop can't find a problem your not going to , very complex . There have scan tools and lab scopes to test .

My wipers when turned on intermitant stop in middle of windshield,they will start again like normal but every cycle stop in middle of windshield they park like normal when you turn them off vehicle is a...

The intermittent function for the wipers has a variable resistor that controls the timing of the wipers in this mode. Replacement of the wiper switch will resolve this issue. Over time they do become worn, and do not make contact during the entire wiper cycle.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STILL ON ALL THE TIME

Look for the fuse/relay in fuse box. If you still have no luck you have to disconnect the switch in the vehicle.
The problem is either the switch , relay or circuit is shorted.

2000 dodge caravan wipers wont shut off

There are a few components involved. Multifunction switch, wiper motor park circuit, and the body controller is also involved. There were a lot of service bulletins about that issue. The multifunction switch was the most common cause and cheapest solution. The body controller does have "On-Board Diagnostics" so it should store associated fault codes. However you need a Chrysler diagnostic tool to access the BCM.
