Grand Caravan Sport 3.2L V6
I had a problem with my 2003 Grand Caravan a year ago where it would occasionally not start. The problem got worse over a short period of time (2 weeks). When it was acting up the starter would not turn over when I turned the key but all the dashboard lights would come on like normal.I had a good friend that was a mechanic that helped me and spent allot of time testing different things like the starter and ignition switch and concluded it was the computer (PCM). His theory was that the Alternator was malfunctioning and likely damaged the computer. The total cost to repair this was around $1000; his cost on the parts. Fortunately he didn't charge me any labor. The computers for the Grand Caravan are very expensive and if it doesn't fix the problem you can't return to the dealer. If you fix it yourself you still have to take it to the dealer to have it programmed. (another $80 - $90)
