2003 Dodge Caravan Battery?

Van will not turn over. Applied jumpers and van started. Disconnected jumpers, gave it gas, all needles flucturated with gas increase, battery charge light came on, odometer lights brighten and dim. Drove van home, shut off, turned key to restart,and just got clicks.

Sounds like time for new battery, give it a full charge & have it tested, but have alternator checked as well, even though it appears alternator is o.k. because it runs, but just in case it's an intermittent problem with alternator

2003 dodge caravan will not start. Makes a clicking noise, and dash shuts off, then makes a humming sound.

im going to say an almost dead battery .the hum you hear might be the fuel pump.you never heard it before because the van normaly starts .so boost your van if it starts you may have to replace the altenator the guages, no worries many cars do that .thats a code needing erased and if you disconnect the battery that may go away.

Interior lights on a 1994 Dodge Caravan will not turn off when engine is turned off which drains the battery. Can they be disconnected and how?

You can remove the fuse for the interior lights after you turn van off for a temporary fix.Thinkin there should be some kind of sensor/timer thats gone out,not allowing the lights to shut off after van is shut down and doors closed
