Get your altinator checked
Does the car start? If so, with the engine running check the voltage at the battery connections. If the voltage reading is 12 volts or lower your alternator is not working. If this is the case your car has been running off the battery voltage draining the battery, when battery voltage is low your light will illuminate.
You should see about 13-14 volts at the battery with the engine running and the alternator operating normally.
This light points to the alternator not providing enough voltage to keep the battery charged. most alternators should have 13.5 to 14.5 volts output. continuing to drive the vehicle like this will cause the battery to go dead. have your alternator tested on the caravan by your local dealer,repair shop or some auto parts stores can do it. a remanufactured alternator will cost around $100 to $200 plus diagnosis and installation.
