2001 Dodge Caravan Relay???
swapped the relay woith another in the panel - there are about 8 of them and
the starting problem went away to be replaced by an idiot light problem. Swapped it again and that problem went away to be replaced by wiper problems. Pretty easy to figure it is intermittent., "gobroncos" > wrote in message oups.com... > What led you to believe that the relay was actually bad? What circuit > does this control.

2001 Dodge Caravan Relay???
Do the fuses that u are swapping have the same part number on them? The
idiot light very well might come on due to the vacancy the relay left when it was swapped...this doesn't necessarily mean the relay is bad. A better suggestion ( if u have relays with the same part number,) is to remove a known good one and bench test it by taking resistence measurements with an analog meter. Your troubleshooting descriptions is vague at best . I think more needs to be done testing that circuit. Ultimately, if it's simply a relay, one can easily obtain that from a junkyard if nothing else. Jim |

2001 Dodge Caravan Relay???
not swapping fuses - swapping relays. And there is no vacancy if it was
replaced by the other relay. And it is intermittent so measurements are meaningless on it. It turns out the part is a Chrysler available one by the info from people here. Bozos at the dealership did not know much it seems. "gobroncos" > wrote in message ups.com... > Do the fuses that u are swapping have the same part number on them?

2001 Dodge Caravan Relay???
1. If you still have not obtained a relay, it doesn't really matter how
much your dealerships knows or not. 2) Why haven't u tried the junkyard? 3) In the above post, I meant to say relay instead of fuse. 4) U said when the relay was replaced, that other problems appeared...Other problems appeared while using a known good relay in its place? And this leads u to believe that its a bad relay?! And intermittent at that?! That's the way it appeared in your #11 post! Not that u could have described it any clearer, but I'm going to assume that when u place the suspect relay in place of the wiper relay position, you experienced problems with the wipers. And that sometimes the wipers did actually work in that scenario, making it, in fact, an intermittent problem. But as I have said this is only an assumption as your post is vague at best. Rest assured tho, you chance frying the ECM if you swap using other than exact replacements. How much do u have in common with the dealership? |

2001 Dodge Caravan Relay???
rockauto.com is where I got my replacement relay. It'll cost about $12.00 not counting s&h. If they don't have the one for the Caravan you can get the 200 dodge neon horn relay it should be the same relay. -- omar610 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ omar610's Profile: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...?userid=526120 View this thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=508929 http://www.automotiveforums.com |
