Measure the voltage at the T.V. while turning on the bedhead light.. it might be dropping below the T.V. minimum operating voltage. Thicker wires from battery or a buck booster with smoothing caps might help if this is the cause (best option is thicker wires. as it is likely overloaded if it causes the voltage to drop)

My caravan lights don't work on 12v and fault light is on when 240v is plugged in could problem be dead battery

A vehicle is 12 volts not 240v. You will blow fuses and burn wiring putting 240 into 12v. What kind of car or truck is this?

The tail lights on my 2006 dodge grand caravan don't work. Yet all the other lights do. I have replaced the light switch on dash but it did not fix the problem. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Get the wiring standard for trailer socket on car / caravan .
Something like this
http://www.caravantalk.co.uk/caravan-advice/new-to-caravanning/electrics-guide/12-volt-systems
Then get a 12v probe and test the voltage is coming out the correct pins on the car when the tail lights are turned on.

Check the Earth Connections on the caravans tail lights.
Check the Caravan has an earth connection to the car body.
https://caravanchronicles.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/caravanchronicles-wiring1.jpg
see how pin 3 shows an earth wire it would have a wire on car socket pin 3 going to the car body. If the earth wire is corroded or broken I think the tail lights on the caravan would not work. It may be a different pin on your setup .

Were do I find the Wiring Diagram from Galaxy Fulcher 2007 Caravan to Ford Ranger 2010

http://www.narva.com.au/products/browse/wiring-diagrams

use a volt meter to work out which light is connected to which pin on Ford Ranger trailer plug . Hopefully it corresponds to standard trailer wiring diagrams. Test each wire could also use a light bulb with two wires soldered to it or a 12v dc probe.

Where is the starter located on a 2003 grand

before going after the starter, check the battery and connections. battery must have at least 12v and should be able to withstand a 200amp load for at least 15 seconds to check out as good. I think your starter is on the bottom side of the engine facing the radiator. easiest way to find it is to follow the positive cable from the battery...it goes right to it.

Power windows not working on 2005 caravan

check the fuse and relay that control the power window, check the power window switch by turning on the doom light, depress the switch, if the light dims then its working, remove the cover and check the motor for proper operation by adding 12v to same. check to make sure the window is still the grove and the grove is free from debris

2006 dodge grand caravan cigerette ligher fuse

May be with other accessories like radio, or something. Might need to purchase a cheap 12v test light. Always good to have one around for such problems.
