Default 1998 Town and Country -- Flashing Dash Lights

I just picked up my 1998 Town and country van after shipping it back to the
states from Germany. I have four flashing yellow lights on the dash -- AC,
recirculate, and both rear wiper buttons. As soon as I start the car they
flash. The same thing happen when I shipped the van to Germany (2 month
trip) and the dealer was able to "reset" in a matter of minutes. I don't
know what they did. I have tried disconnected the battery for 30 minutes
but that didn't help. Does anyone know how to do this? I really don't
won't to go to the dealer for this. Thanks.

Kevin

Kevin, you need to perform these test, keep in mind that if your a/c is not
working or low on charge you will not be able to reset it

a.. Set Blower motor ON HIGH
b.. Set Mode position to Panel
c.. Open all A/C outlets
d.. Set Temperature to Cold (Both slide pots if equipped)
e.. Depress WASH and REAR WIPER button simultaneously for 5 Seconds (Until
all LED's light)
RESULTS:
a.. All LED's will turn on for 5 Seconds
b.. Calibration Test is running when REAR WIPER and INTERMITTENT are
alternately flashing. Cooldown test is running if A/C and RECIRC are
alternately flashing.
c.. Acceptable results is REAR WIPER LED is the only LED flashing. Push
Rear Wiper to exit.
d.. After all tests have passed, Calibration Diagnostics and Cooldown can
be run separately.
COOLDOWN TEST ENTRY
a.. Set Blower motor ON HIGH
b.. Set Mode position to Panel
c.. Open all A/C outlets
d.. Set Temperature to Cold (Both slide pots if equipped)
e.. Depress WASH and A/C simultaneously for 5 Seconds
NOTE: Prior to start of test, If the evaporator is already cold, the system
will fail test. To correct, operate system with A/C OFF and the blower motor
ON high for three minutes prior to starting test.

RESULTS:
a.. All LED's will turn on for 5 Seconds
b.. Cooldown Test is running when A/C and RECIRC. are alternately
flashing. If A/C and RECIRC. are flashing simultaneously, Cooldown has
failed.
