1995 Dodge Caravan Electrical system Problems

“Intermittent electric door lock failure. Had the main control panel on the driver's door replaced shortly after discovering the problem at a cost of about $175 part and labor--changed nothing. Researched on line and found that removing negative battery cable from the negative post for about 30 minutes temporarily fixes the door locks for about 2-3 weeks. I am not putting out $150-$250 to have the bcm re-flashed. This is Dodge's problem--please recall.”

“Dt: consumer stated: had to replace the clock spring. Contacts inside were bad, it malfunctioned, the air bag light was on, horn and the cruise control didn't work.”

“After air bag recall was performed, the warning chime sounded as the dome lights came on. Consumer felt defect is related to recall work performed. While driving at night, and using the multipurpose switch to go from bright high beam to normal headlights, the headlights suddenly went dark. The seat belt retractor failed.”

“While driving approximately 30 MPH the instrument panel gauges failed. Consumer wasn't able to see how fast she was driving. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the control module needed to be replaced.”

“Recall 99v113 000/air bag deployment: recall notice received since july concerning electrical short circuit when ignition key is turned to no or start position. This can cause air bag inadvertently to deploy. Been waiting since 29 july 99, and dealer still failed to honor recall properly.”
