Buying 1996 Caravan

make sure your ground at the instrument cluster checks out ok. i have seen many chrysler computers replaced over this bad ground proble,

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

nitescot, What you can try is to open up the rubber boot running from the body of the vehicle to the door. The constant opening and closing of the door will sometimes cause the wires inside the boot to break. This is a common problem when it comes to power windows. Open the boot with a knife being careful not to damage the wires inside. Look for any broken wires. Repair as necessary. Good luck with this.

This is an impossible question! You don't say if it's diesel or gas, general condition, or what the price is! Give a guy a break won't you!

Sounds like head gasket issues, possibly even a warped head.

spider gear noise would only be heard while driving since they are part of the differential not motor if it has northstar engine be very careful they are known have head bolt failure resulting in blown head gaskets very pricey repair

Yes , but it is very time consuming and if you have never replaced head gaskets before then I would not suggest that this vehicle be your first.

there a restor on the front frame rail on the drivers side that gos bad it behind the bumper

Putting is 100 percent coolant is not good, the coolant will not work well, it needs to be mixed with water to work properly. You can buy pre-mixed coolant at any parts store.

Have the cooling system pressure tested to check for leaks.

The cooling system relies on a set presure to work properly, If the system has a pressure leak, it will not work properly

If you are not seeing any coolant dripping from the underside of the car then my guess is you have a blown head gasket or a cracked head and the coolant is going into the cylinder

I suggest having a good tech work on it. That's a good engine but difficult to work on.
