There are two speed sensors that determine when to shift. input and output speed sensor. there are black and gray and located on the front of the trans under the air filter elements. they are pretty cheap, and i would suggest a trans fluid change too.

I have a 2002 dodge grand caravan the trasmission is running in safe mode is there a fuse that needs change on top of the filter and sensor
Safe mode as in it won't shift past 2nd gear or something similar? That means there is a transmission problem and you need to get it serviced or replace the whole transmission. It could be as little as an input sensor but can also be a fault with the internals.

If it will not come out of 3rd gear, the computer has placed it in "limp home mode" because your overdrive needs attention. Take it to a reputable transmission shop and have it diagnosed. It may call for a rebuild or replace if the clutch packs and drum are burnt out.

Tranmission problem on 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan
When the trans. sticks itself in 2nd gear and stays there is because it's detecting a trans. problem and puts itself in "limp in" mode. When it happens again, to somewhere to have a scan done on the trans. so you can find out which sensor on the trans. is acting up.
