2005 caravan Is a 2003 and 2005 caravan the same procedure for replacing the power steering pump.

Hi Jesse,here's a video about your noisy power steering pump. Dodge Chrysler Caravan Town Country Power Steering Reservoir loud noisy...

Check your drive belt under the hood. There is one belt that drives everything if it is broken or loose you will loose power steering,alternator, A/C, and possibly the water pump. If the belt is intact but loose the tesioner is probably the problem.

The procedure to remove the power steering pulley out of the 1999 dodge caravan engine is as follows:----

· First disconnect the black, negative cable from the battery.

· Then Take off the windshield wiper module.

· Raise the front of the vehicle using a jack.

· Then from underneath the vehicle remove the drive belt splash shield .

· Locate the power steering pump bracket and--working from underneath the car--loosen the through bolt; then remove the pressure hose routing bracket.

· Place a catch pan on the floor, underneath the power steering pump fluid reservoir, and siphon as much steering fluid from the tank; then remove the pressure and fluid supply hoses from the pump.

· Take off the rear pump mounting bolt and front mounting bolts through the pulley. Make sure to grab and keep the spacer located between the pump and mounting bracket once you remove the bolts.

· Take the pump and pulley assembly over the aluminum bracket and out of the engine.

Reinstall all parts and new pulley in reverse.

the power steering pump is going, gonna have to replace soon

The power steering pump could need to replaced, or it could be a just a matter of replacing seals and rebuilding the pump. Cost will vary according to what work must be done, and I recommend that you get at least two estimates before you commit to repairs. You can drive the van without power steering for as long as your arms can stand it.

power steering pump resevoir is attached to the the pump its self it must br removed as one its alot easier to replace the whole assembly some times unless your good at what you do

Try (repairpal.com) for estimate for your particular area. You may have to enter Grand Caravan to get the 3.8L engine .
I'm thinking 2 hrs.

Check the autozone.com website and register the car. It doesn't cost anything and will give you access to an online repair manual for the car. The information regarding the procedures for changing the power steering pump should be available there. Hope this helped and best wishes.

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
