My 2008 Chrysler town and country's driver seat starts to move then the windshield wipers come on then the dash cluster starts freaking out. Then when the car is turned off the radio starts blinking. When I go to start the car again the cluster says no bus. I tryed disconnecting the battery and it reset everything for about 10 miles. Any suggestions?

Unless you can find a local mechanic who is very familiar with this problem, it is most likely you will need to take this to a Chrysler dealer, as it is either a computer problem or an electronic problem. God bless your efforts.

SOURCE: Two more cases of 2008 town and country brake wear

Depending on driving habits and where you drive premature pad wear can and is caused alot by improperly adjusted rear brakes and parking brake cables. With the rear brakes out of adjustment or not working properly the front brakes end up doing more up to 90% of the stopping of the car. Now a days people forget about the rear brakes be cause of the use of so-called self adjusters. I can tell you from over 22 years experience 90% of the time the self adjusters ether don't work at all or very poorly. So for you and your friend keep that in mind and have your rear brakes checked and adjusted every other oil change and the premature wear of your front pads will end.

SOURCE: front windshield wipers are crashing into each other

Yes you can adjust them yourself. First you need to check that the wiper arms are not bent. If not, remove the cap at the wiper arm base, under it u will find a nut, remove this nut. you should now be able to remove the wiper arm. (it is comon for caravan wiper arms to be corroded on. If the arm dosen't come off, you may need to heat up the wiper arm with a propane torch. be careful not to melt the plastic cowel under the arm. OR you can use a wiper puller or a battery puller. do not force it, you can break the arm, DO NOT PRY AGAINST THE COWEL OR WINDSHIELD.
Once both arms are off, turn your van on and turn the wipers on. watch the wiper posts, turn the wipers off and watch the wiper posts return and stop in the "parked" position. Turn the van off. Install the passanger wiper arm first, it is positioned closest to the bottom an inch or two above the black cowel. It should be parrallel to the cowel. next install the drivers side wiper arm. it is positioned about 4 inches above the passanger wiper. again running parrallel to the cowel and passanger wiper. tighten the lock nuts down (do not over tighten) wet down your windshield with glass cleaner or windshield washer fluid and test wipers. If they still hit you can lower the passanger one a little or raise the drivers one a little (careful you don't raise the drivers one too much or it will 'jump' off the windshield at the top of the wipe).
good luck, hope this helps.

SOURCE: rear windshield wiper blade doesn't hit rear

the pivot pin must be rusted to the point it does not want to move, try lubing it with wd40 or equivalent lube,at the bottom of the wiper arm just before the bolt that holds it to the car is the pivot point.that's where it has to be lubed.
