We need to all come together and make this real. We need to start a class action lawsuit.

Im having a problem with my ingintion of my 2005 town and country. When i put the key in to start the car it clicks when turned to turn it on but makes a buzzing noise somewhere where the peddles are at the bottom. It will crank it you play with it and let it buzz for a sec or play with it. Took it the other day to a shop and they said its not the alternator or nothing in the engine. It has something to do when you turn the key to let the car know to turn on. Ive been looking it up and cant find anybody with the same problem. So if anybody knows what could be causing the buzzing noise and the car to have trouble turning on please let me know?????? BC if its an easy fix i would rather fix it myself then have to pay alot of money for nothing
You can use an ammeter or an oscilloscope with a current probe to trace the current flow. You could also measure the voltage drop across each fuse in the fuse panel when the van is supposed to be off. This last measurement can be tricky because of the low (millivolts or less) voltages involved.
I have a 1997 Chrysler town and country LXi
3.8 motor
My blower fan was making some noise awhile back and has now went out.
So i replaced the motor and the fan it self. Still don't work.
I replaced the Relay in the fuse box under the hood and still nothing.
I replaced the resistor under the hood on fire wall passenger side.Still don't work.
I'm out of ideas here, I keep getting told to test this or that but i haven't got a tester nor do i even know how to run one if i did.
Here a re a few other things going wrong with my van,
#1 My Air bag light is on and my cruise and horn don't work. I suspect the Lock Ring is shot.
#2 My car will start and then shut off 3 seconds later. And act like it out of gas. Gauges will read nothing.
#3 I'm driving and all the gauges will just shut off. i smack the dash and they pop back on.
#4. My door lock will unlock and lock back up on there own. i have to pull the battery cable at night so they don't unlock and somebody steals my stuff inside while i sleep.
I was told this stuff is because of the body control module is going bad.
Not sure what or were this is.
Thanks

My family and I actually have to talk with one another now... (The iphones fix that sometimes) but any ideas on what is going on? Would love a simple fuse or relay fix.

Hallo outinthewoods, I got same issue engine runs radio and blower goes on and off for 1 second, Mine 2006 Caravan ECM located in the front driver side wheel well, witch wire you cut it ??? there 4 plugs going to ECM all colored , green, white,brown, and black , black has yellow wire I cut it and wouldn"t start, green has bunch of mixed yellow wires like : yellow green stripe, orange , black etc. Help me out witch one to cut , cause car sitting for a week now no use.Any body has more suggestions I will listen, I don't know why they sell these crapy cars to population, just a shame.
On these new vehicles, there are no direct connections through a switch. When you push the window switch.
You are sending an electronic signal through the Cann network to the window control module.
Its a shared network across the whole vehicle. So when you send the signal for the driver's window. it goes to every controller in the vehicle. ( Or most depending one the design.)
Its a simple signal. Just voltage/ No voltage in a specific pattern for each controller.
Now let's suppose you have a defective controller somewhere. And it is shorting to ground intermittently. Or a mouse chew on the cann bus wires.
It can short out the whole works. Or screw up a signal and fool the rear tailgate when you were just dimming the lights.
You troubleshoot that by using an Oscilloscope hooked to the two cann buss wires in the OBD2 connector.
Note the waveform or lack of one. If you have a standard waveform. Your computer is working.
Its complicated but you troubleshoot it just like any other signal cable.
There are You Tubes on it. If you take it in. make sure they know how to trouble shoot cann problems.
Usually, if you have a bad signal. You find the main buss tree. Start unplugging branches one at a time until you see the signal return to normal. WALA!! That's the defective branch. Grab your diagram. Whats it feed?
Troubleshoot those controllers and wiring until you find the defective wire or controler.
