Dodge Grand Caravan Repair and Maintenance - RepairPal

Hello, Just by my experience with my 91 dodge grand caravan, I would start checking 3 things. First, did you replace spark plug wires to the correct location(Plugs 1, 3 and 5 on the back, Plugs 2, 4 and 6 on the front,That's all starting from the Passenger's side.) 2nd, do your dash lights and electronics turn on when it turns over? If not, try jumping it and 3rd if engine finally runs after that and then shuts off, then your alternator will be next to check however if engine dosen't start running from trying to jump it then the problem is more than likely your alternator. Though make sure you have plugged in all plugins that you might of unplugged like the one that plugs into your DIS coil pack and all vacuum hoses are connecting. Hope this helps and good luck!

You still have a lot of air in the cooling system and you have to speed up the water pump to get any coolant to flow through the heater. Let the engine cool off, then open the radiator cap and top off the radiator. Pour the coolant in at a rate slow enough to let the air bubble up without splashing the coolant back out. Once you get the coolant level up to the top overflow hose, the remaining air will be pushed out by expansion through the overflow tank once the engine gets hot, and will be replaced by coolant from the tank on cool-down.

Alternator, or wiring from alternator.

your exhaust pipe is rattleing near or at the convertor

if you have a 3.3 engine then that job looks almost impossible ... same for the rear spark plugs .. i gave up and took it to a dealer ... i asked the mechanic how in the world he managed without taking the engine apart .. he said "i took the engine apart (with a big smirk)" ... he wouldnt tell me what but it looks like you have to take off the intake manafold ... maybe even the rear valve cover (to get at spark plugs) ... thats a wonderful engine .. nice machine, lasts forever .. but the human engineering is awful .. i noticed that the new caravans have corrected that .. they have lots of room to get at things .. also the smaller engines give you more room .. it cost me over $300 just to have the back 3 spark plugs changed .. another time an alternator was loose in the middle of nowhere ... a mechanic welded and bent several wrenches together to make a goldburg type tool to get at that hidden nut at the bottom of the alternator .. dodge could have made that much easier (possible) if they had made those "captive or welded" nuts .. as it is, the nuts are loose and impossible to control without "taking the engine apart" if you do manage to get them loose (without dissembling the engine), you cant remove them completely since you cant get anything to hold the hidden nut .. and you wont even be able to retighten without that bent and welded special tool .. i noticed that the front bearing on the alternator is what fails more often than other things .. so after the first 75,000 miles .. i put a drop of syn oil on that at every oil change .. that seems to extend the life considerably .. be careful to clean any oil that gets on the belt .. also check the spring loaded belt tensioner ... make sure it still moves on its pivot .. they often freeze at the pivot and that can cause damage to the alternator bearing ...

there is a overrunning clutch on the front of these alternators that can get noisy..a replacement alternator is best bet to correct condition..make sure you check all items driven by drive belt.

it seems i say this way to often but it sounds like a relay. locate the horn relay, likely located in the engine compartment fuse panel near the battery and replace it.
