This van is not fully loaded but clean with no visible rust, is certified though

The fuse for the dashboard lights is also used for the taillights, so it may be labeled that way.
If some of the dash lights are on, then you may have a burned out bulb in the instrument panel. If a fuse were blown, all the dash lights should go out.
A mechanic can take the panel apart and replace the bulb if it’s blown.

the gauges on the dash were working bur stopped and the turn signal indicator lights stop at the same time but everything else works noemaml

I tried to take’em off to have the brake pads replaced but it seems they are tight with some metal rings and I don’t wanna break them but dunno how to take em off.

I will be driving to the Grand Canyon from Denver, Colorado during the week of May 29-June 6th.
I will be camping so lodging is not a necessity, and I would like to hike.
I’ve heard that the North Rim is less crowded, which appeals to me, but I’ve also heard that the South Rim has a far better view. Any suggestions?

I just purchased a pre-owned grand caravan and everytime you open the doors the hazard lights come on and flash. Has anyone experienced this and if so how do you stop it?
Thanks!

I have a 3.3 liter in my 1997 Grand Caravan SE, will any trans out of a earilier year fit? and if so what years. I found a 1996 3.8 liter auto trans w OD but i am concerned that the engine size may make for changes. Oddly enough, my neice has a 1999? Plymouth Grand Voyager with a 3.0 V6, with a bad trans also. so I may have 2 of these to do. I have been told the body is same from 1996 – 2000 and that looks right from searching the web. But what about transmissions? Please only “KNOWN” info – no guesses… thx, auto master mechanics and Mopar-Dodge, Chry, Plymouth techs are highly appreciated.
Thx, Rob
