Milli-amps is the measure for draw of the computer memory, clock, and radio pre-sets. So, .04 amps is just a little more. Would that be like what a glove box light might draw? Try either pulling a few fuses and see if you still have a draw, or take the battery negative post off overnight, and see if battery is still good and hot the next day.
Good luck.

SOURCE: 1994 dodge caravan check engine light comes on

These are all the definitions for your codes.
It's hard to give an exact cause for these codes because of there are a number of different items that could cause these.
The first one could be caused by Incorrect camshaft timing,
VCT solenoid valve stuck open or continuous oil flow to piston chamber,
Camshaft advance mechanism binding, or faulty VCT unit,
The others are most likely bad sensors.
I wish I could be more help but it's difficult to trouble shoot this kind of problem without having the vehicle here in front of me.
Good luck

SOURCE: Need serpentine belt routing diagram for 1994 Dodge grand caravan

3.3L?
Looking at the engine from front (right side of the Van): Stating at the Top, Going Left to Right and Clockwise:
Over the Alternator
To under the Idle Pulley,
To Over the AC Compressor.
To the Left Side of the Water Pump.
To the Right side and Under the Crankshaft Pulley
To the Right side and Over and Down the Tensioner
To Under the Power Steering Pump
And Back up-to the Left side of the Alternator.
Advise when puting it on:
Put the Belt around everything else accept for the Alternator. After it is around all the rest of the Pulleys - Pull the belt up - tight from the Power steering Pump and the Idle Pulley to form a loop, holding the Belt close to the Altenator Pulley.
Using the 15mm wrench or belt tensioner bar - rotate the Tensioner Pulley towards the front of the Van and then place the belt over the Alternator.
Let me know if this helped or if you have additional information or questions. Feel free to contact me at FixYa.com!

I have a 2002 dodge caravan and nothing thats powered from the ignition such as radio, wipers, turns, blower etc, is working, also the battery is being drained within a day

First, remove the battery - charge it fully, then load test it. If it tests good. Set the battery back in the battery compartment and connect the positive cable. Then run a test light (you can get a cheap one at harbor freight tools) between the negative battery terminal from the car to the negative terminal on the battery (basically complete the circuit with the test light in the middle). If you have a big current draw, the test light will light. If the test light lights up, leave it connected and go to the fuse box and start from the top and remove and install one fuse at a time. Do this until the test light goes out. When the test light goes out, you'll know what circuit your problem is on.

Go here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html and look up the wiring diagram. then put the fuse back in and start removing components on that circuit (for example, if the radio is on the same circuit just go down the list of items connected to that circuit and disconnect and reconnect one at a time until the test light goes back off), when it goes off, you have found your source of current draw.

If you start this process and the test light does not light during the first step, you will need a DC Amp Clamp meter to read the smaller current draw (sears has a AMP CLAMP METER that does DC AMPS for around $50). In this case, you would connect both battery terminals (connect positive first), then use the AMP CLAMP on the DC AMP setting to read the current draw and repeat the same process as mentioned above.

Please reply if you have any further questions.

Hope this helps!

Turn ignition and it clicks... some times it starts up but it is getting worse where it will not turn over. Periodically when u let it sit, and turn the ignition, it turns over... but something seems to be...

You will need to get the battery load tested to verify if it's failing.If it is good, you may have a starter motor failing, that can also be tested on the vehicle by doing an amp draw test.

On my 1994 grand cherokee laraedo 4.0 under the hood is mya fuse box with a 20amp fuse labeled I.O.D wat does that stand for and wat does it do?

It stands for Ignition off draw. Its a test point used for battery power draw with the ignition off. Your amps when testing this circuit should never be over 20mA or 0.020 amps. Hope this helps.

AC & Rear wiper switch button indicator lights blink

The procedure for re-setting the HVAC control panel on a 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan follows:
With ignition on but not running
1. turn knob to air vents
2. turn fan knob to ON
3. temperature setting on COLD (2X) {I have dual temp controls}
4. hold top(rear wiper) and bottom (rear wiper with wash) buttons pressing down together until all the buttons cycle through (this will require 1 to 2 minutes of continuous pressing)
I learned this from a very helpful local Dodge service adviser

1995 dodge caravan

it happens every time you run the rear wipers, it blows out the fuse, and thus the red air bag light goes on. they are on the same circuit. try not to use the rear wiper. to fix it, just temporarily use a 15 or twenty amp fuse in place of the blown out one (refer to the manual for fuse box and amps), this will set the wiper to sit back in its normal position. After this has been done, go ahead and replace the fuse with the correct amps, and the air bag red light will sets off.
Note:( reason to use higher amps is to allow the wiper to sit back in its own place, otherwise, if using the same lower amps it will keep blowing it out.) ofcourse disconnect battery first. Good luck
