The switch that tells the computer that the door is closed is broken or has a loose wire.This causes the computer to think the door is open thus the door ajar and interior light on.Switch should be located on door jam.

First thing I would check is the fuse or the fan relay, located in the power distribution box under the hood. If that's not the problem, then I would find the coolant temperature sensor, unplug it with the key on and the fans should run.

do this calibration reset, it will usually rest he lights and the ac will work again, if it doesn't reset you have a part failure and the dealer you need to hook a Chrysler scan tool to diagnose the problem.

CALIBRATION/DIAGNOSTICS TEST ENTRY
TO INITIATE TESTS:
Set Blower motor ON HIGH
Set Mode position to Panel
Set Temperature to Cold (Both slide pots if equipped)
Depress WASH and REAR WIPER button simultaneously for 5 Seconds (Until all LED's light)
RESULTS:
All LED's will turn on for 5 Seconds
Calibration Test is running when REAR WIPER and INTERMITTENT are alternately flashing. Cooldown test is running if A/C and RECIRC are alternately flashing.
Acceptable results is REAR WIPER LED is the only LED flashing. Push Rear Wiper to exit.
After all tests have passed, Calibration Diagnostics and Cooldown can be run separately

How do I properly bleed the power steering on Jeep Grnd cherokee?

should the cap be off the reservoir when I bleed the system? How does the air escape if the cap is on? i tried turning the wheels, but the pressure seemed to be so great that it pushed fluid from around where the reservoir connects to the pump..also, the fluid is very foamy. How can I get all the air out?

DODGE CARAVAN FLASHING LIGHTS A/C AND RECIRC

WHEN IGNITION IS ON I HAVE BOTH THE A/C AND THE RECIRC LEDS FLASHING, I HAVE RUN THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND IT CHECKS OUT GOOD

Posted by on

Answer

  • Most Helpful of 1 Answers

On the left side of the A\C control panel hold down the top and bottoms buttons with the engine running and at full operating temperature, the blower speed on high, the mode set to vent, and the temp lever(s) set to full cold. When the lights on the panel come on solid and then start flashing release buttons. It will take about 2 minutes or less for it to calibrate. when the top left button is flashing you are done. Press that button once or restart van all function should be normal.
