if you have connected fans direct to battery the fans are goosed but try relays and fuses first hpe this helps

Transaxle is doneHas to be rebuilt,a well know &given fact, on all carvans for 30 years

check blower resister .common problem

If you have low fluid in reservoir check your brake for wear. low fluid is a sign of worn pads and maybe rotors too.

When the gauges quit, does the ABS light come on? Does the gas gauge and temp gauge quit too?

Sound like a problem with the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) that is located in top shift linkage; its possible that need some adjust or replacement. First check fuses.

Hope helps.

Have someone check the freon charge in the system with a gauge, and voltage to the ac compressor clutch.

Well the hissing sound could be a vac leak or the freon flowing thru the system.Someone needs to check the freon charge in the system with a gauge and the electrical circuit to the compressor clutch.

Nope, two different braking systems. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

First check the fuse for the signal lights to see if its blown.If the fuse is good then and look for a signal light relay and they is one then replace it with another one in the fuse panel that has the same part number on it to see if the signals will start working.If the fuse and relay are good then you will need to replace the signal switch.

That's normal for Chrysler minivans. Clear the code and don't worry about it unless it happens again. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU FALSE HOPE, YOU CAN TRY IT, BUT MY 95 CARAVAN DID THAT SAME THING, AND ONE DAY WHILE IN TOWN IT JUST STOPPED. FIRST INSPECT THE EXTERIOR OF THE TRANSMISSION, CHECK THOROUGHLY INCLUDING THE DIFFERENTIAL MINE WAS SPLIT SO I GOT LUCKY AND ONE WAS GIVEN TO ME SO PLEASE CHECK IT OUT. ALSO SMELL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. BE SURE TO SMELL FRESH FLUID SO YOU GET AN IDEA OF HOW THE FLUID SMELLS. IF IT IS DARK LIKE DINGY AND SMELLS COOKED THEN MY FRIEND IT IS TIME FOR A NEW ONE

You can try having the computer checked for trouble codes, but chances are the problem will be inside the transaxle.

Hi there:The engine coolant temperature sensor is a variable resistor with a range of -40 degrees F-265 degrees F (-5 degrees C-129 degrees C).

The engine coolant temperature sensor provides an input voltage to the PCM. As the coolant temperature varies, the sensor resistance changes resulting in a different input voltage to the PCM.

When the engine is cold, the PCM will demand slightly richer air/fuel mixtures and higher idle speeds until normal operating temperatures are reached.

The engine coolant temperature sensor is also utilized for control of the cooling fan.

Fig. 1: Engine coolant temperature sensor location - 3.3L and 3.8L enginesCheck this test procedure:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Detach the coolant temperature sensor electrical connector.
3. Using a DVOM set to the ohms scale, connect one lead to terminal A and the other lead to terminal B of the coolant temperature sensor connector.

1. With the engine at normal operating temperature, approximaterly 200 degrees F (93 degrees C), the ohmmeter should read approximately 700-1000 ohms.
2. With the engine at room temperature, approximately 70 degrees F (21 degrees C), the ohmmeter should read approximately 7000-13,000 ohms.
3. If not within specifications, replace the engine coolant temperature sensor.
4. Test the resistance of the wiring harness between PCM terminal 26 and the sensor wiring harness connector. Also check for continuity between PCM connector terminal 43 and the sensor wiring harness connector. If the resistance measures greater than 1 ohm, repair the wiring harness as necessary.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

I don't know if this applies to cars as well but the fan on my 2005 Honda VTX1300 motorcycle was not working and the temperature light came on a couple of times. It was a fuse. The fuse was replaced and the fan works fine now.

Usually you can take a coat hanger or other stiff object and push it up thru the tube to dislodge the gunk.
