| 98 Dodge Grand Caravan - climate control lights flashI have a 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan. This mornin I had a dead battery. (Yes, really dead!) I now have a new one. when I start the car, the lights on the wiper and climate control buttons flash. Buttons all work fine, as does everything else. Why are they flashing? Do I need to reset something? Also, have continual problem with driver's side electric window. When weather gets hot, it sticks and won't drop down when button is activated. The motor and switch are working, I can hear them. Just the window won't drop. When weather cools, it works just fine. All other windows are working fine. Any help would be VERY appreciated! |
#105/18/06 15:03Edward Falkner | In regards to your flashing climate control buttons, I have the same problem. I was wondering if you got it fixed by yourself or if you had to take it in to get fixed. If you could email me what you did, that would help me out a lot. Thanks a bunch. Edward |
| All you need to do is start your van. (if you are unsure what knob or lever is which I am looking in the manual for proper terms) Then slide your temp lever all the way to the left (full cold). Then turn the Mode Control to 'panel' (the one that sends air to your face only). Then turn the 'blower switch' to all the way to full. Now go to the leftmost three buttons. Press the top one (rear wiper on constant) and the bottom one (rear wiper washer fluid). Hold these two for a few seconds. Once the lights come on solid then begin to flash you can let go. The AC will now calibrate. You will feel the air blow out of all the different zones at different intervals and see lights come on and go off. Then after a minute or two the top bottn you pressed will be slowly flashing. This means it has been completed (I actually let it run for 5 more minutes just in case something else started blinking). Press the last flashing button and you are done. |
| I have the exact same problem. Ours is a 1998 dodge caravan. We tried the solution that Shawn posted it did everything you sid it would be in the end the lights just kept flashing. What else can we try? Thanks for your help |
| Just tried the button routine to reset the flashing lights, it worked fine. Disconnectong the battery did not do the trick for me. |
| button routine worked, but a/c compressor still not coming on. |

| My lights on my climate contorl are blinking what can I do to make them stop blinking? I have a 98 Dodge Caravan. |
| if the circulation and ac continue to flash you may be low on coolant to the ac unit. I added some to mine re-ran the diagnostic and they all work now |

| This happened to me recently. It is the clockspring and it was a safety recall from 2004. Contact a local dealer and they should be able to fix it for you and I believe it is free. Mine was because of the recall. |
| Sorry message 20 from me is in regards to the ABS lights and non functioning cruise control. Please read 20 |
| My recirc and ac flash - but they work - just today though the fan motor will not come on when I turn to any of the speeds - the rear fan is working but not the front. Also the ABS light stays on - are they related? I checked all the fusses and relays and switched a few, but they all look ok. Any ideas? |
