The oil pressure light probably came on when the engine stopped.
You would have lost your power accessories then too.
Someone will need to figure out if you have lost fuel to the injectors and/or spark to the plugs to know where to look for the problem.

2001 Chrysler Town and Country- Won't start. Turn over. It acts like the fuel is not getting to the engine. After many attempts , it starts and runs like there are no problems. The car has 120,000 and has never had a problem. Is the fule pump bad?

Probably too late but I had the same problem yesterday. Try changing your battery. It sounds crazy but it worked for me.

SOURCE: CHRYSLER town and country mini van turn signal/flasher

I have a 2005 Chrysler T&C. The turn signal would not work at all or activate incorrect side. The switch is easy to remove as described by dukecityman.

Once the switch is of, it has four screws holding it together.I took this apart to find that there was a circuit-board which was contaminated with dirt. wiped it of, put it back together, working fine.

If you take it apart use caution. there are parts on the "top" which will fall out. ( they go right back in) The circuit-board is on the "bottom" half. You really only need to take this part off. (less moving parts)

Your going to replace it anyway, whats the harm?

SOURCE: 1997 chrysler town & country was cutting out,died,now wont start

you need to put a scanner on it and see what code comes up.
my guess would be the crank sensor which is very common .

I drove my chrysler town and country this morning, when I went out to drive again the tail lights were on evenwhen the car was off. Its a 2002

are you sure its the tail lights and not the stop lights , could be the stop light switch that is under the dash and right above the brake pedal may be stuck.

Hi...i have a 2005 chrysler town & country sto & go LX 3.3L V-6 mini van....for some reason the brakes r acting up....sometimes they work sometimes the pedal goes all the way to the floor....master...

its sounds like it could be a bad master cylinder with an internal leak.it could also be a problem with the abs hydraulic module that for some reason is bypassing brake fluid within the unit itself.these problems won`t neccessarily turn on the dash light or activate the abs light.
