Good video! Thanks for making this video!

GREAT Video‼️It was very helpful‼️😃‼️

You're awesome. Great video.

Got a no start, no crank. All dash lights worked, no check engine codes, the battery was good, and the starter worked fine. Check out the video for my diagnosis and fix for a PCM issue on a 2022 Chrysler Town and Country.

what is the name of that fuse you took out and tested. looking at a diagram Run accessory relay or or Run Relay or Run Start Relay?

Great video. Question can a yunk yard computer work or does it has to be the original one to the vehicle

A couple of things that dont sound right. First, after replacing the starter relay by the good AC relay, it still did not start thus eliminating the relay as the problem. Then your step 2 was checking the relay. What for....you already determine that it was not the problem by replacing it with a good relay and the problem was still there. So the relay is ok and you dont need to check that. Second, you said that hearing the starter relay click determine the problem to be the PCM. I dont know how you can ear a click from the starter relay because the wire going to the PCM is a grounding wire for the starter relay winding, so without a ground the starting relay can not be activated and that is why the starter relay doesnt work because that ground has to come from the PCM which is defective. No activation mean no sound from the relay.

IS THAT THE negative side of the battery you use for the test light?

sorry for the book of a comment. I went to the store a mile from my house. The van didn't want to start. It would start but when the initial rev settles back at idle she dies, if you gave it gas before it died it would cause it to die. I found the fuel injector wiring harness was melted so I thought I would tape it up and see what that did. I taped the first wire up and gave her a try, she stayed running like 20 seconds longer. So I figured I was on the right path. Taped the second one up and she ran had the same issue as before but gave a "done" code and p1684. I decided to stop with the repair and buy a new harness. After I replaced the harness and put her back together the battery seems dead now. Not a big issue from trying to start it and she just ran out of juice. If I apply jumper cables shell crank but wont spark it seems, If I don't use jumpers she wont crank. I thought it mightve been the coil pack because I spilled a bit of power steering fluid on it. The coil pack didn't fix the issue. I'm wondering if it was possible to blow the battery or PCM from fuel injection melted wires/shorting. Mightve been the battery drained but I let it charge on the cables for a bit and it didnt help. The battery was never a concern until today. 2001 Dodge Caravan 3.3ltr

Is it possible to jump the van if the starter is good using the wire to the relay? with key on in ignition?

HELP ME ! I'm stranded and friends are driving by and laughing at me in the Soccer Mom car ! lol Really great job. Very quick and thorough. I like the analysis of the relay and pins. We have a 2009 Dodge van with the same issue. Surprisingly have not seen anyone conclude or point to the ECU, or how to test the relay. In the Dodge caravan 2009 it's a different fuse box and relay. Have you done a video on the 2009 or that 2008 to 2012 series? I understand the Ram pick up and other Dodge vehicles have the same issues with the same fuse box. Thanks Subscribing :)

Best video the subject so far. And I have seen many. Thank you sir. Updates?

Has this problem on a voyager, just ran a starter jumper from the fuse box to the cabin. You have to turn the keys in the ignition while press the starter jumper

Hi man, good video. Where did you buy the ecm?. Do you have the web Page?. Im in México, thanks

Fyi on 2000 tc some times no tach no speedometer when reconnecting the battery.3.3 pcm the pcm powers up but no guages and tachometer it will start.the fix :reconnect' the battery.PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS WHEN BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED RECONNECTED.Fyi because of video where a pcm was replaced engine ran without tachometer. I think it may be a design issue with microprocessor reset transistor.The fix may be to use a different capacitor on the reset circuit of pcm micro like from 1 microfarad to 4.7 microfarad.That way a slower reset to the pcm will allow all circuits in the pcm to correctly thoroughly reset.?shift registers pcm preventing improper latch up

WHERE can I find that wire with the metal hooks on the ends that you used on the starter relay?? Did you make it? With what?

I like your test light better, could you tell me where you got your test light at.

So do you think back when you cleaned the piece coming from the battery into the box that all along your pcm was going out? Hope I'm making sense, lol.

Is this 2002 T&C a grey key (security? Or black key ( non- security)? I replaced my ignition switch, left the battery connected, when I restarted, it started then died. So I saw this and wondered if the PCM is related to needing the SKIM deleted from the PCM? Does replacing the PCM accomplish this? Mine is grey key with chipped keys and security

great video, if I don,t hear the click does that mean my ignition switch is NOT working?

@4:19 to 4:58 there is a magical change, a Walmart Everstart battery suddenly appears, and a regular Mopar battery is present for the rest of the video.

My 2001 town and county is doing this but its not giving me any diagnosis!!!! So this may be the issue?????

Where did you order the new PCM from? And about how much did it cost! Thank you

My question is this. I changed my alternator after it was smoking badly and my starter. Yet my dodge grand caravan still won't start. I hear each time I turn on the ignition I hear a buzzing soung coming from the computer. If I leave my battery connection too long it kills the battery. Is my problem the computer? I brought it from autozone.

Where did you order the used pcm from

Is possible the headlight shorted the pcm 💔 awww yeah blessed 💖✨

Is this vehicle the same as my 2013 dodge grand caravan?

I’m trying to order a computer but they didn’t ask me for the vin nor anything just the year make and model

Did the key fob not work when the pcm went out?

So how much and where can I get the PCM from

Can I get a pcm of this one? Please!

I have a 99 Grand Caravan that is having same problem but when I connect an OBD Scanner inside and turn the key, the engine starts with no issues. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Great vid. Maybe you can help me. I am having an intermittent no crank no start issue. After I run and get to normal temp, when I shut off I have the issue but if I wait minutes or so it will start. I have traced to the win at ign switch. What I want to do is bypass the win with a button to crank. I will be able to trace, but as smart as you are and as lazy as I am you probably have the answer..LOL thx again.

I have the same issue I knew it was the PCM

I guess the million dollar question is this. I just replaced my vans computer today an it still won't crank. I have a new battery, a new starter, and a new alternator. All my spark plugs are new along with the wires. What am I missing here why it still won't crank? I cleaned the connectors to the battery but nothing.

Why are trouble codes unattended too

The new PCM I bought for my 2004 Alero refused to find the key and therefore would not start, finally got it started but after driving one mile it quit and would not start again. returned it, got a replacement, same thing, it started once but after driving for 1 mile it won't start again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Please help if you can.

How much is the PCM pls??

No key just bought car how to start

All they needed was vin?

Good video! Thanks for making this video!
