Chrysler Mini-van Forums?

[hightime81]

Hi All!
You have provided a LOT of great info and advice for my XJ and helping me to decide on my next family hauler (Chrysler Town and country). I haven't bought one yet, b/c i am still doing the research, but im looking at the 2005-08 years and i want to find a forum that is similar to that i can join and learn.

Any of you guys know of one? i am trying Google as well, but the forums that i have found are not as hardcore technical as Naxja so far. Not to stereotype, but are minivan owners more likely to let their mechanics deal with the issues that come up? I really want to be able to take care of most things on anything i purchase.

i have joined and am reading up on chryslerminivan.net and there is some good information, but just not as technical as i was hoping for!

thanks for your input!

they've helped me a ton with my 05 Gr. Caravan SXT...look harder, cuz I've found a ton of technical stuff on brake installs, and electronic troubleshooting.

Its electronic whizbangery is problematic right now, but its a pretty common issue. Usually has to do with an old, low voltage battery needing to be replaced. You end up getting crazy gauges and the accessories cutting out, but its doesn't really effect driveability much. Just annoying. The had a non-start on mother's day, but on/off with the key and its was fine. Not sure what was going on there...

Other than that, in 2 years, I've done nothing to it. great car...

hmmm....we've got almost 80k on our '05 T&C. It's been a great Road Trip ride and people hauler. It also got paid off this montharty: BUT, we've currently got that "gauges gone wild, headlights dimming eratically" issue...for about a year. Dealer just said it was a bad batter....Optima Yellow Top. So, I pulled it and put it on the charger for two days....Autozone checks it today...Seems to be fully charged and checks out 100%......hmmmm. Now the Red Top in my Vibe GT didn't check out so good, 75%, but that's another story! So, I'm not so sure our dash/headlight issue was battery related....and now I need a new battery for my Vibe.......:doh:
