blinking AC & recirc. lights on 98 Caravan
After replacing the battery I ran the calibration diagnostics test to try
to correct the problem of the rear wiper/AC blinking light problem. The test evidently failed because I am now left with the AC & recirculation lights flashing simultaniously. (I'm pretty sure I ran the test correctly according to future posts.) What do I do now? |

You have to make sure that the engine is at operating temperature and the
slide control is at full cold with the blower on high and air coming out of the front vents. If this procedure is not done correctly it will fail. Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech |

blinking AC & recirc. lights on 98 Caravan
When I ran the test the engine was at operating temp., the slide control at
cold and the blower on high. I made sure all the vents were open. I also had the rear air on high, would this make any difference? Otherwise I think I did everything correctly. I did notice that after about 20 minutes of driving the blinking quits, but returns to blinking the next time I start up the van. |

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.

I ran the test a couple more times and still get the same result;
AC/recirculate lights end up flashing simultaneously. The air works fine so do I just ignore the lights? Anyone have suggestions? |

Technically you will need a Scan tool to read faults from the control head |
