POSIBLE A GAS CAP LOOSE O YOU NEED A NEW ONE

This is usually a losing battle. Once the pumps start to leak it's almost impossible to get it to stop. Check the hoses first - may get lucky and just have to replace a hose.

the rpm operates off the ignition module. It maybe a loose or corroded wire. If the engine is running fine the wiring must be at fault only

Buy or otherwise obtain a Chilton Manual for your car.. You must remove the door panel and then the window regulator.. Try and not break anything.. Look at Rockauto.com for your part.

My guess would be a fuse. Your owners manual will show you were the fuse panel is located, and there is (usually) a diagram inside that says what fuse does what. If you have a bad fuse and it blows as soon as you replace you have a short either in the wireing or the motor it's self.

no year, no joy, sorry. xxxx Caravan, (really) how to test any ignition switch, (ill answer for older cars.) it turns on, with 12v on all outputs. it turns off with 0v on all outputs. its a switch, ON or OFF, on is 12v. off is 0v. in fact ,any switch.

Hi Marvin, I'm glad to help! The 2001 Dodge Caravan does not have a code P1601. There's a code P1602 for PCM Not Programmed, but if that were the case the engine would not start and run. I suggest clearing the code and see if it comes back, if it does, then have the PCM Re-Programmed and see what happens. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Marvin.

Hi Richard, I'm glad to help! The negative battery cable will not short out because it is a ground wire, but with that said it can build up resistance from corrosion and cause problem's because of the high resistance. The easiest way to replace it is to run it over the existing neg cable and wrap it to that cable and just cut off the ends of the bad cable. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Richard.
