Top 10 2000 Chrysler Town & Country Questions & Answers

There is anther fuse box inside the vehicle.I'm just not positive exactly where,but there is one inside.Look around under dash on driver side with a flashlight,get on the floor board and look up.General Motors sometimes puts them at the end of the dash on drivers side.I have seen some located behind a cover,on the driver side lower dash.Just have to look.It's there.

You could possibly have a internal crack in the radiator, this is not un herd of because the transmission cooler is the side tank of the radiator, they are separated by a internal metal divider and its possible for the radiator to crack forcing antifreeze into the transmission cooler section of the radiator, because of the timing of this incident i would not stray from human error as a major possibility, but its not impossible for this to happen on its own and i have seen it before, its also possible they did not change the fluid in the flush machine from a previous job (that had water in the fluid) i would recheck the tranny fluid now and make sure its not watered down and overfilled, also be sure your coolant is not low, if these check out, then your shop owes you a brand new transmission and thats great because they aren't the best ones on the market and have a high failure rate anyway, best of luck to you and please rate this solution -Jeff

I would replace the Thermostat and see if that will not Stop this. It is Coming from the Overflow Tank. It is getting a Little Warm during Driving and the Extra Coolant that will Build up Preassure needs somewhere to go So, It sends it to the Overflow Reservoir and it Seeps out the Overflow Outlet. This is Pretty Common though and Really not that Big of a Deal as long as you do not loose too Much. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!

Transmission fluid type ATF+4.

The filter is located on the bottom of the transmission, inside the oil pan.

The fuse and relay positions are cast into the under side of the 'power center' (fuse box) cover. The larger boxes are relays of various power (not related to your problem). Check the wire at the rear of the power outlet to see if it is connected. Sometimes a fuse will open due to an element crack, but not be blown. Try another when you find the correct one.

Hi,

Follow instruction below:

Raise the window up completely. Remove the screws from the armrest using a screwdriver. Lift the window switch out of the door panel by prying up rear of the switch and the pulling the switch to the rear, dislodging it in the front. Lift it up and unplug the electrical connectors.

Insert the flathead screwdriver between the door panel and the door and pry out all the trim fasteners from the door on both sides and the bottom. Remove the panel. Peel the moisture barrier back exposing the rear of the door.

Push the door latch actuator rod retainer off the rod, releasing it from the door handle. Remove the two 10 mm nuts securing the outside door handle to the door. Pull the door handle out of the door.

Install the new door handle by holding it in place and installing and tightening the inside nuts. Insert the door latch rod into the door handle lever. Swing the retainer down and push its lock over the rod.

Place the moisture barrier back into place. Install the door panel and push all the trim fasteners into the holes in the door. Install the two screws into the armrest and tighten. Install the window switch by plugging in the electrical connectors. Push the window switch into the hole in the door panel and press the rear of the switch down to lock it in place.

Best regards.

Hopefully this picture will help you.. Best of Luck..

Hi Bernard:
The FLASHER is located under the driver dash it is a round fuse (it's located adjecent to the fuse block, and it's square, yellow in color).

Also, I suggtes to check for power at the junction box under the dash at terminals 1 and 6 with the combination flasher removed. Then check with a powered test lamp if test lamp lights pin 7 when signaling left and pin 8 when signaling to the right.

If the test results are correct, replace the Combination Flasher/DRL (Daytime Running Lights) module.



Gain access to the multifunction switch connector. Locate the Light Blue/Yellow wire and ground it. This should activate the right side turn signals. Locate the Light Blue/White wire and ground it. This should activate the left side turn signals. If both sides do work, the problem is in the multifunction switch. Verify the Black wire in the same connector is grounded at all times. If so, replace the multifunction switch.






Here is some reading on how the system works.

ELECTRONIC DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL)
The Combination Flasher/DRL is a module providing turn signal, hazard warning, and daytime running light functions (for Canadian vehicles), and has been designed with internal relays to take advantage of low current switching requirements in the vehicle. It is plugged into the junction block at positions three and four, where all wiring associated with its operation is terminated. The junction block is adjacent to and left of the steering column of the vehicle.

On vehicles built for use in the United States, only position four is used. Vehicles built for use in Canada utilize both positions three and four.

To gain access to the device, remove the lower steering column cover and knee blocker.

The combination-flasher/DRL may be operated in its hazard warning mode either with or without the ignition circuit being active. However, in order to operate in the turn signal mode or the DRL mode, the ignition circuit must be completed to the module.

While the combination-flasher portion is idle, there is no current drawn through the module. The device does not become active in the turn signal or hazard warning modes until a signal ground circuit is supplied to either of the turn signal inputs or the hazard warning input. With the ignition OFF, there is no current drawn through the module.

While the ignition is ON, the front turn signal filaments are illuminated steadily thus providing the DRL function. The DRL function may be inhibited by applying a signal ground input from either the park brake circuit or the headlamp relay activation circuit.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I will appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.
