My 1998 T&C yesterday started, ran and quit after 5 seconds. It repeated the stunt. Then, it displayed no LED display for the odometer, trip meter, transmission function, no overhead console display and will not engage the starter at all. Nothing. Depressing the two outer buttons on the overhead console displays "ccd", then a dim flashing all display grid of the display. All upper dash lights operate nominally, (alarm, airbag, ABS, etc). I've checked the obvious (battery terminals, contacts etc.) Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a know 'issue' The T&C has 175000KM (Canadian) on it - well maintained and has been operating nominally. Suggestions are most welcomed. Regards and thanks for your expertise, everyone.
what I rip off!!!!! My company manufactures Clocksprings, we've quoted them to DCX. We charge about $10-$15 for one!!! talk about markup!!! We don't supply this specific Clockspring to DCX, and they're all soo very different or I'd send you one for free!!!
I think a company by the name of Methode makes them for DCX.

Any views? :confuse:
So... my question is has anyone else *ever* heard of this problem/feature and if so, is there any longer term problems relating to it? Any further problems with the BCM? Thanks.
Any assistance would be appreciated
Any information would be appreciated.....Thank You
On the rear seats, a panel that covers the seat when stowed away has broken one of it's attachment pieces. This means I can no longer slide things into the bed without the risk of snapping the rear panel off altogether.
I've only stowed the seats about fifteen times in the year I've owned the car. I am actually a pretty careful person - so I don't think these pieces broke off due to carelessness or rough treatment. I'm taking the van in for service and I'm intrigued to see how the dealership handles my complaint and whether the seats are covered by warranty.
Anyone else have these or similar problems out there?
Installed brand new AIS Motor:
the connections are good to the AIS harness:
there are no shorts shown with ohmeter at the harness:
throttle body has been cleaned and throttle body gasket replaced:
I have checked for vacuum leaks and can't find any:
Vacuum is at a steady 15, but when I open and close throttle the reading drops below 5 (which is OK), but only goes back to 18 before settling at 15. Is the 18 normal or not? I suspect I should see 22 or so, but I am guessing here.
The car will start at 1250 rpms and quickly rise to between 1750 and 2000.
I disconnected battery to erase trouble codes, and after replacing AIS motor and driving
5 minutes to go at least 40-45 mph the Code 25 (AIS motor issues) pops up. What steps do you recommend from here? I realize the ECM(Computer) is still a potential issue, but want to eliminate all before that step. I know enough to be dangerous, but I welcome your expertise so I can diagnose more effectively in the future. Thanks.

here's the link page, though you may very well have run across it yourself: http://www.allpar.com/resources.html
Unfortunately, Helm Inc. does not seem to sell a service manual for Chrysler stuff. Just about everything I've ever needed to do on my Accord is in the Helm OEM Manual.
The service manuals are worth the search, I've had Haynes and Chilton and they don't begin to compare (though they aren't really aimed at the same audience). But just recently in fact with the Haynes manual.....it was just plain wrong about something I needed to do and even the picture was wrong for my year even though according to the book it should have worked.
Get the service manual and you will be able to figure it out.
good luck!

Considering it still heats up on the highway, I guess you can nearly rule out a cooling fan problem.
Does it lose coolant at all?
You could check the thermostat for proper operation or just go ahead and replace it. Takes about 15 mins and is usually a cheap part. It could be failing intermittently and trapping coolant.
check back if you figure it out
Any suggestions on what is causing this and what can be done to fix it.
Thanks
1) Low refrigerant charge.
2) Check the condensor. If the compressor stops at idle it is probably running hot and the safety switch shuts the compressor down. It may be obstructed.
3) Check the fan clutch to ensure proper operation. It may not be spinning fast enough at a stop to cool things off.
4) In a related check, make sure all fans are working properly. If they aren't then it won't be cool at a stop. Airflow at higher speeds helps to cool things down. You may just not have enough air going over the condensor.
give us a heads up if you find out what it is
I am curious if you know about the operation of the twin cooling fans on this car. When should they come on: all the time? With the a/c on? Only when car starts to operate above normal temp? And, are both of them to come on, or just one and then the other kicks in upon the occurrence of a certain event (a/c, above normal temp, etc.). I am wondering if, for some reason, only one fan is coming on when two should be on.
The interesting thing about this problem is that at speeds in excess of 70 mph for an extended period of time, the above normal temp will occur, but if you drop it down to 70 or lower, the temp goes back to normal range.
Thanks..

I will have someone check it out and give you an update.
