SOURCE: no dash board lights

It should be a large black plastic box near the battery--the lid pops off and all parts are function identified on the underside of the lid.

Check the wire harness, make sure there are no breaks or crushed wires. Also check the wire harness to the TCM, look for any loose connections. Good luck and keep me posted. Be glad to help.

SOURCE: My 2000 dodge caravan just went into its limp mode

The transmissions available in your caravan are problematic for having a bad solenoid pack. Once the transmission is set in the LIMP IN mode, then you need to take it to a dealer to get the code reset from the transmission and to get it diagnosed properly. I'm sure there will be a code such as, "trans solenoid stuck in LR" which means " low range" if the transmission went into limp in mode, then that simply means it defaulted to second gear only. Which is telling you to have it looked at asap. I'm sure if you repalce the transmission solenoid pack and gasket and perform the re-learn procedure, then your problem will go away. good luck!

Dodge caravan dies when in gear

Vacuum leaks. ( hissing noise around the engine). Tune up (plugs and wires). clean the throttle body(inside of it). All these can cause rough idle. The dieing can be from transmission problems. Can you rev the van up and keep it running while in gear? Or does it die then too? You can replace the solenoid pack on the outside of the transmission for around $250, if you do it yourself. If you do this, DO NOT get any dirt in the holes of the transmission where the solenoid pack sets. Clean it well before you remove the old pack.

While driving 1995 caravan jumps out off gear..

of course you could have transmission problems but more likely there is an adjustment near the bottom of the steering columm just down from the back edge of the battery .. that adjusts where the transmission leaver is positioned with respect to your shift lever .. if its off a bit then you might be between two gears .. that area become corroded at times due to a little battery acid overflow .. in one case the unused side connection on a replacement battery had a slight leak .. that damaged the bracket that holds the adjustment .. that one would go in reverse when you thought it was in park Ouch ...

VW Golf 3 jumping out of gears

Sounds like a stripped reverse gear. And for the second gear probally need a new gear (1st 2nd) and the syncros with a new hub. If too much metal from the gears has already made it's way around in the bearings through the transmission oil you might be looking at a new transmission. The Golf 3 generation had many problems with reverse gears. Sorry to be the one to tell you.
