I have a 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager. We just replaced the battery and the alternator. The battery and check engine lights are both on and the battery isn't charging correctly. It checks at 12.5 when running at the battery terminals, but should be between 13-15. The car kicks a little shifting from 2-3rd gear, and it has codes p0700 and p0740 showing. What do you think it could be?

SOURCE: 1998 Plymouth Voyager does not shift to 3rd gear when driving,3.3

It's in limp home mode. You'll have to check wire connections and electronic controls. If it has a vacuum modulator you can remove it and look for trans fluid on the vacuum hose side (meaning ruptured diaphram). Double check the parts you replaced as well, especially if they were used parts. My dad went through three speed sensors in one year on his Caravan. You should drop the pan after checking other components. It could be a bad relay, shorted module or wire. The three speed transmissions are much more reliable than the four speed overdrive transmissions but with age and miles things can go wrong and parts will wear out.

SOURCE: the transmission will not shift gears and the

Hi:
This same thing happened to my daughter,s car, and it ended up being fixed with a transmission speed sensor. This sensor not only runs the speedometer, it helps tell the transmission when to shift too.

SOURCE: I have a 2000 plymouth voyager with error codes

speed sensor most likely this transmission runs 2 an input and an output. if your speedometer is fluctuating or not working it would be output problem if not probably an input speed sensor. these sensors can be purchased for around 40$ i believe at your local dodge/chrysler dealer.

replacement is fairly easy. open hood remove air cleaner locate the sensor on the transmission. in put is closet to engine. unplug sensor remove by unscrewing it. reverse for installation. disconnect battery for 2 min to clear codes and road test

1999 plymouth grand voyager voltage regulator

Not all bench tests on alternators are reliable. That battery has to be brought back to a full charge. It could be a simple connection to the alternator. Check those battery cables as well make sure the ground wire is secure.

Battery warning light is on after a new battery and alternator on a 2000 grand voyager

There should be a fuse or fuseable link between the battery and the alternator.
Check the voltage at the battery wire on the back of the alt - should be 12 volts or more.
The alternator is turned on by the ASD relay and the computer.
If the engine is running I will assume the relay is working.
If you have battery voltage on the big wire and the alternator is not charging, you could have a problem with the computer.

I believe that model has the voltage regulator in the computer itself. replace the computer or put a old style voltage regulator in the wire harness to the alternator .

1993 Plymouth Voyager 3.3 many different warning lights came on

Sure sounds like alternator, or belt, or maybe just fuse for charging circuit. Get battery re-charged, make sure belt to alternator is tight, and if you have access to multimeter (voltmeter) attach it to battery for reading when it starts. Note voltage when not running, before you start it, and then start & watch meter. Voltage should increase when running. Be aware, it would not be uncommon for belt to come right off on those vehicles, especially when a deep puddle is hit. Confirm it's even there & on properly before you get too carried away.
