I was driving my 2005 dodge caravan and all the sudden it started to make a weird noise, the battery light came on. And the van started to over heat. Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with it?

Possible one of the drive belt (serpentine belt) pulley wheels froze and stopped turning. Ultimately causing the belt to break. You will have to 1st confirm the belt is broken and than why. If all the wheels turn okay, (the large bottom pulley only one not suppose to turn) than check the large one for wrobble when started. Start without belt on but only long enough to see if moves forward and backward.

Most likely your water pump seized up and belt popped off causing alternator to stop turning so probably need water pump and belt replaced and

    A guy I know said it sounds like the serpentine belt came off or broke. Does that have something to do with the water pump?

99% chance it is the blower resister located behind glove box. Squeeze glove box in and pull out.
The resistor is right behind it, dealer part cost less then $20.
Dodge has had this problem for over ten years and until recently did nothing. Now they combine fuse with resistor, suppose that will correct it?

SOURCE: dodge caravan sliding doors

First, keep in mind that as you begin to remove these doors you run the risk of causing serious scratches to the paint and glass, so put some masking tape and/or plastic sheeting around both sides of the door (rear quarter panel and rear glass, front door and front door glass)
I would get a Haynes repair guide since that's what I have to work from and it will tell you step by step with pictures, what to do. It's not hard, but you need to get all of the attach points unhooked to be successful. Suggest you have a helper working with you to keep the door steady.

Transport Canada Vehicle Recalls & Defects Database Transport Canada Recall # 2007169 Recall Date:  2007/05/30 Notification Type:  Recalls Audit System:  Airbag Manufacturer Recall Number:  G09 Units Affected:  question.gif 51,000 Category: Minivan Recall Details: On certain vehicles the left or right front supplemental airbag sensors may crack under certain conditions, which can allow water to enter into the sensor. This can cause the airbag warning lamp to illuminate. A malfunction of one or both of the supplemental sensors will not adversely affect safety or cause a failure to comply with government standards. The single-point sensor in these vehicles, which is located in the airbag control module, is operational even if both supplemental sensors are inoperative. DaimlerChrysler has decided to launch a Customer Satisfaction Notification to advise customers that these front airbag sensors will be replaced with redesigned sensors to reduce the potential for damage. This action is not being conducted under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

SOURCE: 2005 Dodge Caravan will not start and engine light flashing 10x

most likely it is the electronic control module which is the brain computer that runs the car and all of the functions and it is not allowing the electrical system to operate or come online. your power supply is not reaching the ignition due to some sort of either an electrical short or blockage.

Not good if it makes a grinding noise. Needs a tech or replacement as something most likely has come loose inside the transmission.

I was driving and all of the sudden the van died and the oil light came on, and now it wont start.

You may have broken a timing belt. This belt is what keeps the pistons and valves in time with each other, with this broken you will not be able to start it.good luck

2004 Dodge Caravan won't start...just a clicking noise...

Check the battery first. Just because the lights are on doesn't mean it has enough power to start the van. If you or the van has a volt meter, the battery should read at least 13-14 volts to be good. If the battery is good then the alternator is good and we move on to the starter solenoid. I'm sure it's one of these. Do the lights go off or very dim when you turn the key? If so then battery.
