Dodge Caravan Turn Signal Problems Help!
by jerlee on Tue Nov 14 10:14:03 PST 2006
I have a 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan. Everything works EXCEPT the turn signals and emergency flashers. I've replaced every fuse - replaced the flasher relay - and replaced the multi-function turn signal switch. I took it to a dodge dealer to have it checked out and they said there was an open in circuit L9 18 BL/WT between fuse 10 in P.D.C. and pin 1 of the combination flasher (don't really knows what that means). I am currently out of work because of health reasons and unable to afford a costly repair. Can some one out there point me in the right direction in how I might fix this problem ???? Is there anywhere on the net I can get step by step instructions and illustrations on how to proceed from here ?

The manual transmissions behind the Dodge Cummins engine are very reliable and durable. It is nearly the exact transmission used in GM diesel versions. Your '02 RAM diesel has the 47RE transmission, I believe. This version is actually more than adequate behind the Cummins for that year. The drive architecture is strong and rated with a good margin for the power of the Cummins in that year. I have never seen or heard of a broken sun gear, planetary gear, input or output shafts in a 47RE behind a Cummins. Problems with these transmissions are usually prompted by lack of maintenance, incorrect ATF, improper usage, high mileage, or a combination of these. Contaminated (dirty) or oxidized automatic transmission fluid will cause eventual wear or damage to major components. Keeping the transmission in overdrive when carrying or towing heavy loads, especially in very cold temperatures and in hilly terrain, will overheat the overdrive unit. This causes premature oxidation of the ATF, as well as loading the fluid up with wear material, and that causes poor fluid flow in the valve body (shift) components. This in turn causes advanced clutch wear. Using the incorrect fluid will commit these transmissions to certain death. Never use Dexron-Mercon. Always use ATF+4. Of the more common serious component problems with this engine-transmission combination requiring major tear down are usually associated with a worn torque converter clutch, worn bands (commonly the kickdown band), or worn overdrive clutches. Probably the most common problem seen on these transmissions are clogged valve body ports or sticky shift solenoids and clogged anti-drain back valves. Earlier shift solenoids became magnetized over time rendering them erratic or inoperable. I've seen shift cables out of adjustment. The majority of the time shifting issues can be resolved by removing and cleaning the valve body and related components. However, dirty fluid requires complete evacuation of the transmission, and usually requires a replacement of the anti-drain back valve, although they can be cleaned if done properly. I've seen many of these transmissions go 150,000 miles without problem or tear down. And I've seen some go even further. Keep in mind that by their very nature a diesel truck is going to put more wear on transmission parts if used at or near work capacity. If the fluid and filter is changed regularly, the bands are adjusted periodically, and overdrive is switched off when towing or carry very heavy loads or in hilly country, these transmissions will go just as far as anything else. Best regards, Dusty
3500 Transmission Problems

I am about to purchase an '02 Dodge 1 ton dually disel truck with an automatic transmission. I'll be putting mostly highway miles on the truck and frequently using it to haul 9,000 to 12,000 pound loads using a gooseneck hitch. I've had several people say that the trannys in these trucks have problems. Is there a history of this? Is it the case with both manual and automatic trannys? Is it a problem in only certain years or is it across the board??? Thanks.
