1997 Dodge Caravan
Today I had a battery and cables put in and on the way home I noticed
that the tiny lights on my accesserys,van fan ,rear wiper,etc were blinking.They still worked but didnt stop blinking while I drove.I have heard I have to drive about 50 miles before my engine computer figures itself out.What is the scoop on this? |

check the cables to make sure they are tight......on both ends.

Try a search for Caravan A/C calibration. |

This happens if the battery is disconnected while the ac or fan is in the on position. It's annoying but not serious. Try the following procedu Set Blower motor ON HIGH Set Mode position to Panel Open all A/C outlets Set Temperature to Cold (Both slide pots if equipped) Depress WASH and REAR WIPER button simultaneously for 5 Seconds (Until all LED's light) RESULTS: All LED's will turn on for 5 Seconds Calibration Test is running when REAR WIPER and INTERMITTENT are alternately flashing. Cooldown test is running if A/C and RECIRC are alternately flashing. Acceptable results is REAR WIPER LED is the only LED flashing. Push Rear Wiper to exit. If that doesn't work try to run the sequence with slightly increased RPM's (put your foot on the gas a little). Also there is a forum on the web called dodgetalk.com. I hope this is helpful! |

The blinkers go out at times of high speed and stay out untill I shut
the car off.Then they start again when I start the engine.It appears it doesnt hurt anything so I may wait until I have a different reason to visit the mechanic. |
