Radio and DVD play not working..did I blow a fuse?

Written by: ribbins on Apr 09, 2009 03:43 PM

I drive a 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan and I was plugging in my IPOD adapter to a lighter outlet and as I was pushing the radio stopped and wont work. The DVD player wont work either. I'm not sure if I shorted something out or what. We've looked at the fuse box and can't find a fuse for the radio! I would LOVE some help!!! Read More...

04 G Caravan growling noise when in drive w/brake applied

Written by: dcurley on Oct 26, 2008 01:07 PM

My 2004 Grand Caravan started making a "growling sound" It sounded like a bad bearing, I brought it in to a shop and the mechanic said it was the alternator. I changed it and replaced the belt. The sound went away. 3 months later the sound was back, louder than ever. Brought it in to Dodge dealer, they said I needed a new power steering pump and water pump. I changed both ... Read More...

2004 Dodge Grande Caravan

Our van has been misfiring and stalling for the last 2 months. We have hooked it up to the computer 3 times with no codes, even though the check engine light is on. We have replaced plugs and wires and coil pack with no improvement. It runs better on hot days with the air conditioner on. Runs well as long as you are giving it gas, when you slow down or stop it sputters and ... Read More...

Article Comments - 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan vs. 2007 Honda Odyssey Touring

Difference for my family

Written by: cstorm on Aug 04, 2008 04:49 AM

In November 2004 we leased our 1st Dodge Grand Caravan SXT, a 2005, because the Ody did not have a power tailgate unless you bought the Touring model. Also, the Stow & Go seats are awesomely useful, and have proven to be a must-have for us. The underfloor storage is a godsend. We leased a new 2006 Dodge SXT in October 2006. Last month, I looked at the Odyssey again. Still ... Read More...

I have a 2004 dodge caravan with a 3.3l. Engine is usually warmed up for approx 3-5 minutes prior to driving and makes no noise. When driven there is no noise until you slow or stop the vehicle then a whirring noise begins and gets louder as engine RPMs increase. Noise will eventually go away, after approx 10minutes of driving and will not return. This sounds like ... Read More...

Re: Purchasing an '08 minivan in 6-8 months. [dennisctc]

Written by: artgpo on Jan 06, 2008 06:45 AM

It'll be interesting to see, as Honda continues to dump Odys for $4-5k off sticker, what it does for their vaunted resale value? Really? And what does that say for Chrysler for offering 0%, a rebate and no payments for six months on its much ballyhooed BRAND NEW minivans? A similar Chrysler minivan never sold for $33,000 to begin with. So, all these people who bought ... Read More...

If you have a 4spd auto and Honda offers 5, your's is garbage, obsolete etc.. If your's has a 6 spd and Honda offers 5, your's is unproven garbage. As long as it drives fine and does what it should who cares? Not me people should drive them and see for themselves. If you get $5000 off your minivan and someone pays dealer markup for a Honda, you can only use MSRP numbers ... Read More...

Or maybe Sienna owners aren't even willing to look at other vehicles? Maybe Caravan owners are smarter shoppers who like to look around and compare, while Sienna owners don't even consider anything else based on the other reviewers. I've heard many folks say that "I'd never buy a Dodge because they're unreliable." or "I'd never buy a Ford because they're junk" ... Read More...
