I put a new battery in the key fob for a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan, and, at first, it still didn't work. Took it to the Dodge Dealer, who said the fob was dead. NOT SO! My husband put a little piece of cardboard on top of the battery so the battery contact was improved, and the fob works fine now.

2008 Grand Caravan. Just bought 2 new fobs. Having exactly same problem as with the old ones. New batteries only last couple of days. Something with van? Old ones worked real good until about 3 month

Dont go to the dealer just yet. Some of these key fob batteries are charged while you are driving your vehicle with the key in the ignition. I recommend you change the batteries one more time, this time around disassemble the key as best you can without damaging it and clean it very well. Pay special attention to any metal contacts and be sure to slide out the valet key (if applicable) and clean it very well also. Di-electric grease will ensure good continuity on metal contacts internal to the key. It seems as though your problem is internal to the key. It also seems like this should be a relatively quick fix. Also, The tipm and ecu are known to fail on this vehicle, just throwing that out there if you have issues down the road. I hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist any further.
Regards,

2008 dodge caravan with KeyError message and it wont start ............tried charging battery, changed battery and key and nothing

This sounds like the key fob is faulty, you will have to take the vehicle to the dealer and have them verify the key fob is faulty, then you can get another key fob programmed for your vehicle, hope this helps

The front a/c blower does not work, all fuses are good. please help

J, I am sending you some info to read but it appears that the most likely cause is the blower motor relay. Give the following notes a read and if you need some more help give me a buzz... Best of Luck..

1996 Chrysler Town & Country 3.3L, Vin R 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan ES 3.8L, Vin L 1996 Chrysler Town & Country LX 3.3L, Vin R 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan LE 3.8L, Vin L 1996 Dodge Caravan LE 3.8L, Vin L 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 3.3L, GAS, Vin R, Eng Cfg V6 1996 Dodge Caravan Sport 3.3L 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE 3.3L, GAS, Vin R, Eng Cfg V6 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan ES 3.3L, Vin R 1996 Plymouth Voyager Rallye 3.3L Customer Concern: Front blower does not work; no power to it. Fuse is OK. Tests/Procedures: 1. At the blower motor, there is a Dark Blue wire. This wire should have battery voltage whenever the key is in the "on" position. Power for the blower motor comes from the blower relay.

2. Access the front blower relay, it is located on the driver's side under the dash, near the junction block. There will be four wires going to it. The Dark Green wire should have battery voltage all the time. The Dark Blue wire is going to the motor. The Black/Orange wire should have battery voltage with the key in the "on" position. The Black wire should be grounded at all times. On this circuit, the relay is energized whenever the key is in the "on" position. Potential Causes: Front Blower Relay
Front Blower Relay Wiring
Heater Ventilation Air Conditioner (HVAC) Control Head
Tech Tips: The front blower relay is located under the dash, on the driver's side. It may be necessary to remove the junction block (fuse and relay box) in order to see it. Diagnostic Codes: None

Program second key fob

Your key can only be programed at the dealer. They have to use a scan tool and a unique id code that they get from the factory. It is done this way to help insure that the vehicle is less likely to be stolden.
