SOURCE: 2000 Dodge Caravan air conditioner problems

heating and cooling fans are generally one and the same. changing freon doesn't always fix the problem... did you have the system pressure checked for leaks first.

Second determine if the vents are opening properly (switching from heat to cooling) basically when you change to cool it closes air access to the heater core.

SOURCE: 2002 caravan, heater problems

That was a common complaint a few years back, due to the fact that the heater core is a little too much higher than the engine, which requires that extra push it gets when engine RPM's increase. One thing I did do on my Caravan was remove my hoses to the heater core, and use a small external pump with hoses to circulate C.L.R. through my core for a while, then let it sit with CLR in the core overnight.Next day I circulated it through again, both ways by reversing hoses, and then re-attached hoses, bled air out of system, and notice quite an improvement in heat at idle. Once cleaned out, the heater core allowed coolant flow through it better at idle. If your stumped by explanation, take it to an automotive shop, or a Rad shop, and get a quote on flushing that core out for you. I recommend the CLR, but it might be too time consuming for you , but a flush will probably show some noticeable improvement.

The problem is a bad transistor in the resistor module located in the air duct behind the glove box. Just replace the whole module. Mine was only $17 and a ten minute job.

more than likely your heater core is stopped up if you undo the two heater hoses and flush them with a water hose back and fourth till water is clear that should make it hot

2005 Dodge Caravan, temp gauge has been rising to "hot" while driving. Just recently, van lurched while driving 30mph and then the check engine light came on right after. Temp gauge was normal...

I would guess that the lurch and the engine light on was telling you that the engine over heated and you may have done damage to the motor.. IF you have blown a hose or radiator or lost a lot of water then the temp gauge sender has no coolant to read so it will read as normal. because it is reading an over heated piece of metal that it is screwed into and not the coolant temperature.. Have a compression test done to determine possible engine damage. Have a pressure test done on the coolant system to find the cause of the loss of coolant. Do a flow test done on the radiator to check for blocked cores. Check operation of cooling fan especially if you have a viscous fan hub.

Relay switch for fans on 99 dodge caravan keeps blowing causine engine to over heat ng

If the relay is getting too hot, the most common problem is a faulty radiator fan. The fan motor pulls current thru the relay. The radiator fan motor may be failing after it runs for a period of time.

Dodge caravan 2000 3.3 L. 40 amp. cooling fan fuse blows in 5 sec appox. new fan relay , new fan motors ,new heat senor. thanks tom war

My 96 Caravan had this problem as well as the passenger headlight would not come on. It turned out to be pinched and shorted wires under the battery box where the wires plug into the power box and computer. It happened the first time driving away from the dealer the day I bought it! It got worse from there.

Electric cooling fans will work.

The fans are actuated by coolant temp in the radiator. It is possible to have overheated coolant in the radiator, causing the steam, and your engine not overheating...the temp sensor for your engine is reflecting the engine temp, not the temp of the coolant in the radiator. You problem could be a bad temp sensor at the radiator...not allowing the fans to come on. Good Luck! I hope you find this to be very helpful!

2001 Dodge Caravan heater blows cold air when stopped

Have you checked the coolant level? What you describe is exactly what happens if the coolant level is low. When stopped at idle, hot coolant is not circulating through the heater core, so no heat. As the engine increases in rpm's when you pull away from the light, the water pump is spinning quicker, and some coolant is making it to the heater core. So check the level, and if it is low, keep an eye on it to see if it drops again. That of course indicates a leak somewhere. Get it fixed, as overheating the engine leads to costly repairs and worse case a new engine. Let me know how you make out with this.

A/C makes 2000 Dodge Caravan run very rough

either your ac radiator fan is not working (Electric fan behind the radiator), or your AC is overcharged, if it works fine except at idle it's the fan, replace it,
often the motor itself is replaced and the rest of the fan is re-used

Check the fan, by turning on the ac when the engine hasn't warmed up yet, if the electric fan is NOT running either the relay or fan motor is bad, usualy the motor

I replaced my radiator cooling fan motors both of them on my Dodge Grand Caravan and i replaced the relay and fuse and coolant temparature sensor and my fans still won't work.

check for battery power at pin 4 of rad fan relay connector..ground at pin 1..jump pins 3 and 4..fans should work..if not,check harness about 3-4 inches away from relay connector..have seen these corrode..if fans work,the engine controller may not be grounding relay..any codes in engine controller?engine light on?

2000 Grand Caravan fan trouble

this sounds like the a/c compressor is locking up trying to stall engine. run the car with heater off, then turn on a/c or windshield defrost. if engine stalls (or almost) suspect faulty a/c compressor
