Hi! I have a Dodge Grand Caravan 2009. Today, when we came back after a 2 hours trip by turning on the exit ramp, the car seatbelt warning sound (seemingly) came on during the complete turn. Once the turn was completed, the sound went off. There were no lights on the dash and no warning messages. Any ideas? Thanks!
Possibly a loose connection, best to have it checked for your safety
The seat switch is sensitive and may be wearing out. The alarm dings when there is weight in the seat but seat belt is not fastened. The turn may have closed the failing seat switch.

Turns out it was the water pump. The plastic impeller on the inside had broken in half- split almost right down the middle. there was just enough of the impeller remaining to attach to the shaft and pump water. Apparently, it was pumping enough to keep the temp under control. So, I never noticed it overheating. The piece that had broken off had gotten lodged in a recessed area inside the pump housing. The ticking noise was being generated as the intact half of the impeller rotated and hit the broken off half.
I narrowed down the problem by removing the belt and cranking the engine temporarily. With the belt off and the pump not turning, the sound was gone. I could spin the pump pulley by hand and faintly hear the noise.
A new pump cost me $35 and took about two and a half hours to replace.

I had the same problem, my mechanic has had this same problem with other 2003 grand caravans. Flush the power steering fluid, replace it with ATF+4 and add Lucas power steering additive. Apparently dodge has posted the fluid that was originally used is causing this problem. $100 and it is purring like a kitten

The relay that is located right usually in the middle of the fans is stuck open.Take that off and take it to the nearest parts store and they should have it in stock.Its kind of a common problem.That relay is designed to finish cooling off the car before they shut off and they'll run with the keys out.If the relay is bad they'll keep on running till the battery is dead..
