I hate to sound cynical, but why don't you check the fuses and see

  • Anonymous Jul 24, 2009

    If you pull it out and look at a good (non blown) fuse, it'll have an omega or horseshoe shaped piece of metal that is continuous. A blown fuse will usually have a dark spot and you'll be able to see where the metal "cooked" and has seperated, and then breaking the circuit. When in doubt, just change it, they are only a few cents each. Hope this helps.

    Then I would have to say check the bulbs, if they're fine then you should check the connectors/wiring harness.

2005 Astro van Head lights - How can I modify factory setting to turn off headlights when car is running?

Try pulling the fuse or the relay marked DRL (Daytime Running Lamps). More than likely each headlamp has its own fuse and relay.

Also, ensure that your headlamps work when you turn on the switch!

1996 astro stalling/stalls

Right turn signal - activate turn signal and check to see if bulb (front and rear) are flashing. If not it will affect the flashing timing. Replace bulb. As for stalling, may yet be sediment/gunk in tank that is clogging new fuel pump filter and inline filter. Or an idle/throttle position sensor. Hatch problem, I've no idea. Family members 1998 Grand Caravan has been infected with similar gremlins in the sliding doors. Best advice is to obtain a Chiltons/Haynes repair manual and go through the troubleshooting section.
