I am about to purchase a Town & Country with the navigation system. I understand that this system will not allow input while in motion, even by the passenger. Is there a modification or key sequence that will bypass this "feature"? I was able to find a "secret key sequence" that allows me...

With a Yaesu VX-5 powered from a Radio Shack car cord attached to the console cigar lighter socket, I get rapidly repeating noise likened by others to spark plug noise; but, no spark plugs on a diesel. Removing the card cord and transmitting on battery eliminates the problem. I'm about to switch...

DEALER tire rotation w/ full size spare, One dealers "POLICY" FYI So it hit 7k miles and since the dealer gives out free loaner cars (in this case it was a huge Jeep Wrangler I had to pull myself into as compared to my Sebring) I ask to include the tire rotation in the oil change/check service...

In my 2000 Town & Country the passenger side carpet gets wet when it rains, this happens when the van in parked or in motion. I have removed the plastic covering and put sealer in the holes but this did not help and the seal on the mirror appears to be tight. Anyone know where I can check to find...

since 1990 on 4 older caravans I must have gone thru 10 transmissions, although AAMCO covered some under a lifetime warranty. A good friend has a 90 dodge spirit on 3rd transmission. will a oil cooler help extend tranny life? as of today I have a 92 and 94 both with possible tranny troubles. I...

Okay, just when I thought it was safe to jump back into the Chrysler waters, we bought a low mileage '00 300M for my wife. We both love the way this car drives and performs. Two weeks into ownership, however, I realize what a freakin' nightmare it going to be to repair this car. The drivers side...

I am considering a 2001 PT Cruiser to replace my 1990 Dodge Spirit. Can most of the regular maintenance be done by myself? Is the engine "shoehorned" in so that most of the regular stuff is too difficult? Are there just the tie-rod ends and lower ball joints to lube? It has ABS, so I know that I...

I am researching various filters that fit the 3.3/3.8 and have learned so far that there seem to be 4 different ones that have the correct threads and gasket diameter for the block. Going by Wix numbers: 51085, 51515, 51775, and 51773. My question is if the 51773 will fit without the end...

Bought new in '04 and so far- -power steering fluid leak at 7,500 miles -cylinders 1 and 3 misfiring at 8,000 -faulty ignition switch at 25,800(last week) Newest one- strange noises and vibration from the front left side of the car, possibly clutch related according to a friend.

Hi I just changed the filter on my 1994 dodge caravan and I put in 4 quarts of fluid like the guy at the auto parts store told me too but now when I check the dip stick it is very low...below the add mark....I have a chrysler 3 litre v6 engine..I am not sure what type tanny I have...When I got the...

'96 Grand Voyager, 3.8l engine... water pump appears to have sprung a leak (it's really hard to see with all the other crap in the way, but it doesn't appear to be a hose). Gonna hafta pull this thing off tomorrow morning... wondering if anyone here has done it and can offer any...

I know this is a long shot, but I thought I'd ask... Vehicle is a Plymouth Grand Voyager with about 100K miles. I recently noticed a clicking coming from the vicinity of the left front wheel starting at about 50 mph. It seems to be at the speed the wheel rotates, so my first thought was a nail in...

Hi... Just about to get the rust check people to treat my car, when I came across a potentially interesting ad in this week's Canadian Tire flyer. Product is called "Counteract", on sale for 199 Canadian, and claims to "cover your car with an electrical charge, to prevent and inhibit rust"

I have a restored 1940 Chrysler Royal, all restored to original. In the last couple of months, my clutch has started to not "pop" back when released and I have been using my toe to pull it back. Shifting is still good, no clashing, but could this be the spring? I had a friend who knows old...

I have -00 300M with dark gray/black leather interior. I accidentally applied some silicone with a cloth to the dash's "leather". I am not sure whether the dash is covered with real leather or some leather-like material. Any ideas on how to remove this shiny silicone and restore that original...

This morning on the way to work I started to hear this sound... and at first I thought it may have been a squeaking belt or something... then it progressively became worse and I believe it is on the passenger side rear of the vehicle. I recently had the front wheel bearings replaced on my 98...

just want to know if you think its the headgasket. this is an 89 lebaron 2.5 non-turbo. When you put water in the rad, it'll bubble with no rad cap, shut the car off and put the rad cap on and it'll start to steam out the exhaust pipe. Soon the water level will get low and the car will hit redline...

we've noticed our brake light on our 1998 Grand Voyager coming on more and more while we're driving. As far as I can tell the brake fluid level is ok, the parking brake is not on. But the light comes on. Then after a while it'll go off. Then back on. You get the idea. Any ideas what could be...

My '06 caravan has had bad brake vibration problems since around 3K miles. The dealer replaced the rear brakes (pads and rotors) at 6K, again at 9K (which helped, but didn't entirely fix the problem). Now at 12K miles they are claiming it was the fronts all along, rotors are badly warped and pads...
