20 Most Recent 1999 Dodge Caravan Questions & Answers

You may have contaminated brake fluid. The fluid gets too hot, caused the fluid to expand and lock up your brakes. once it cools it will allow you to move. Flush the brake system, start at the wheel farthest from the master cylinder and bleed the system until all the old dirty fluid is out. Just allow it to gravity bleed, don't waste your time doing the pump and release method. It only gives your buddy a sore foot and if you miscue you **** air back into the line.

Let me know if I can help you with any more info or guidance.

Question edited for clarity and spelling. Question moved to model category. It is a known issue.

No, Chrysler does not use an inertia fuel shutoff switch like ford. There is nothing resettable or anything like that with the fuel system. You can disable it by pulling the ASD relay or fuel pump relay/fuse. If you have a problem, you can check your relays and swap them around to see if that solves your issue.

Hope this helps!

I don't know whether it will fit or not - just wanted to mention how two radiators that seem identical can have a completely different cooling capability due to the number and size of the tubes carrying the coolant through the centre of the core, also variable is the number of gills per inch. Even if two radiators will interchange from one type of vehicle to another and both have the same engine, a vehicle with a reduced airflow through the radiator due to body design could need a radiator with an extra row of tubes. Looking for interchangeability means looking very closely and preferably starting with a parts catalogue to check for identical part numbers... Make the wrong choice and there could be overheating problems next summer.

there is a size difference in the hoses.

Could be power fluctuations to the fuel gauge sending unit, a bad sending unit or a bad gauge. The sending unit would be the most likely cause.

short in wires or breaker going bad or just loose or bare wires...maybe shorts out when raining ?

Sounds like a switch issue but also had some fan relay issues

The Air-conditioning needs to be re-gassed. Take the car to an Auto Mechanic to get the Air-Conditioning re-gassed. They might also need to check it for leaks to make sure the gas stays in.

check main power panel under the hood for aux fuse, should be in the 40 to 60 amp range possibly slightly larger than standard fuses.

in the power distribution center under the hood

Try locking the vehicle. Leave it for a little while, reopen and you may find the immobiliser has reset and the car will start. I suggested this to a Pagerro driver after his battery had gone flat and hey presto the car started first time.

bad seatbelt connection

Lifters are bad..I doubt if it is a rod.. that is why there are lifters to keep it quiet and prevent rod failure.

Park lamp relay location under hood fuse box. Park lamp relay is controlled by the BCM - body control module .Fuse #22 40 amp powers park lamp relay .

Could be the heater core leaking. try bypassing the core. See middle of page at link below. Do It Yourself Diagnosis and Repair

Probably need to have the PCM - engine computer programmed for your vehicle . Dealer or a mobile tech .
