Here is a video on how to remove your fuse box, clean it, and put it back into place. This repair is pretty easy to do and only takes about 40 minutes from start to finish!
TOOLS:
• Philips Screw Driver - amzn.to/3hdpzx0
• T25 Screw Driver - amzn.to/33pVkL9
• Pick (optional) - amzn.to/3nZM8q4
• Magnetic Metal Tray (optional) - keeps you from losing screws and bolts - amzn.to/3hdUiJZ
• Multimeter (optional) - checking fusing - amzn.to/3o1T5qw
You can easily check your fuses to ensure they are working by using a multimeter and using the continuity setting and attach it to both of the metal pieces. If it peeps, then it's good.
This video should work on Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country for Generation 4 for the years of 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007. It should be very similar for years before and after this.

I have a 2006 Didge Caravan. I replaced the electric window regulator and control panel switch last year. Recently, the driver' window stopped working again, then the passenger stopped rolling up. I took the switch covers off and saw the contact for the new passenger motor control had fried itself so not making enough contact to conduct the current for the motor. I concluded there were too many amps being drawn through the circuit. I am sure glad that you posted this video because it was the thing or place that maybe causing the faulty amount of current to fry the components of the window circuit and the very thing I was going to examine. This of course is my next project.

Appreciate the vid, MFI ; Along w/those metal pokers & the brushes ! Didn't plan on going This in depth w/the Kia Rio, yet... might just try it.

Thanx again. Peace !

@MCFIXIT 3 года назад

I've got almost 200k and no head-gasket issue. I had to replace the radiator at about 150k. It was very straight forward and wasn't too pricey at an auto part store. The issue this vehicle had in the past was transmission issues. They are better now with a rebuild though.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I've spent a fortune for non-fixes from lying/lazy mechanics for a fan problem that turned out to be a bad connection. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself these days (now I see what my dad was talking about years ago). If you pay $100-150 hr, you should get quality work! Would love to meet a "professional" mechanic before I die, but it's more likely I'll encounter a magical unicorn.

Appreciate the video MC.....well explained. I have a p5013 code with my 2007 Dodge Caravan 3.8 litre and wanted a visual on how to remove the TIPM box to inspect the wiring conditions among other possible issues. I might add that I've found Scotch Brite works best rather than emery cloth/paper in most applications. Scotch Brite folds nicely and is more flexible, formable and spongy for getting in between terminals/etcetera. I'm thinking a good shot of electronic spray/aerosol would be useful cleaning the terminals also.

@u.s.a.198 2 года назад

Thank you! Best video and info I have found. If I may share a issue i had to hopefully help others: I use wd40 on the small red clips to help make them slide and not break.. very brittle.. I had issues with the battery cable on this unit shaking off set a bit.... it would cause speedometer, radio to start and stop.. used a wire tie to keep constant pressure pulling upward on the cable between battery and tipm... seems to work... it would somehow come loose and do like a constant on off on off on off...

It’s an option but I try not to add much dielectric grease unless it directly calls for it to be applied. Most wire applications are okay for it certain types of it.

@MCFIXIT 2 года назад

If your relay is bad, yes! But none of them are soldered on the board and all were functional. All of them are removable. They at times can become corroded and needed cleaned if they are still good relays. I live in the north and corrosion is a real problem especially on this vehicle. Best of luck on your project!

@chantalholloway759 3 года назад

This is perfect. I have an 06 Dodge Grand Caravan that has been acting funny. I’ve replaced A LOT on this van and now the power locks unlock but will not lock and the radio went out. As I checked fuses, the IOD fuse was so badly corroded that the prong broke off in the terminal and I can’t get it out. I think taking out the fuse block and doing what you demonstrated will give me the access to the prong. This is the only video I’ve found demonstrating this. Love it! Hopefully it works for me and hopefully that fuse is the solution to my problems. Do I HAVE to take the module off to remove the terminal cover?

@MCFIXIT 3 года назад

I do not believe you have to do that. It should come off without removing that. I did this video about 7 months ago and can’t remember exactly, sorry! You should be able to remove the whole TIPM and access that area.

That’s super strange. I’m not of a big fan of the electrical on these Dodge vehicles. So many issues and it’s always something small that goes wrong and creates chaos. I’d go back and make sure the wiring was done correctly on the wiper motor since that when it seems like everything went crazy.

Most ppl don't use dialectric grease, or some other form of conductive material on the terminals. W hy not?

@MCFIXIT 3 года назад

Great question! I see dialectic grease has primarily a protectant and since it's already covered in the box. I don't see it as necessary. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I got my car fixed and then every light on my dash board came on. After restarting my car nothing on my dashboard lit up or worked. Speedometer, windshield wipers PRNDL didn't light up and now my car will not start it a chrysler town and country

@MCFIXIT 2 года назад

Sounds like battery or connection at the battery (negative or positive). That’s where I’d start.

Not the dreaded TIPM until 2008!

@MCFIXIT 2 года назад

I've only heard negative things about that TIPM! I read a lot of reviews on this and nothing has been positive.

If you are lucky, you can hit the junkyard and just get the little red clip!

@MCFIXIT 2 года назад

Yes! Unfortunately it’s a 50 mile drive to my nearest junkyard that you can pull items from

@Mike-zs4id 2 года назад

Ouch! Well, thanks for posting, this was extremely helpful info!

These TIPMs always fail. A great walkthrough on how to fix it and get it back working properly. Thank you

I know the gen 5 caravans / Town and Country have had a recall on them due to some issues. It done after a lawsuit by owners. This is the first tipm issue for this vehicle.

@jphamilton6987 3 года назад

I’ve had one fail. I wish I had a gen 5 so it would have been free instead mine was over 1k with parts and labor at the dealership

Or, take them out 1 at a time for cleaning...

@MCFIXIT Год назад

They are all interchangeable with the same type. Yes, definitely clean them and get new ones for any burned out ones

Sorry that’s all you saw. I try my best to stay out of the footage but I’m not a professional videographer. Just a guy with some skills and a camera trying to make the world a better place.

@@MCFIXIT this person is just a troll. If that's what they saw then they watched the wrong video. Pay no mind to people like them!!

Thanks! Yeah, there are lots of trolls it seems like. Just trying to put out good content to help others!

@@MCFIXIT Yep, you would call my comment coming from 'a troll' but I'm telling you the truth...the video is crap. Don't take criticism of your bald patch personally either. learn to laugh at yourself and improve..we have a long way to go in this world yet and you need to bit a little less sensitive America.
