2004 Chrysler Town and Country electrical problems

Filed Jul 10, 2021 · Electrical, Lights · AZ

I went to turn on my headlights, and they didn't come on. All the other lights work. Parking, dash, tail, and the high beam indicator. But no headlights. Also l read that people complained about windshield washer' not working. I tried mine and they also didn't work. I see there is a recall on same problem with the 2005 - 2007 Chrysler town and country limited and they are under a recall. Mine is a 2004 T & Country limited.it My mechanic has checked all the fuses and relay's and can't find anything wrong except for the lights and wind washers not working. I called my Chrysler dealership and they acted like they never heard of the problem. But that's O K with them because they don't have to drive a car without headlights.

Driving 65 MPH at highway. Turned high beam lights on and headlights stop working. Turned fog lights on to see side of the road. Reduced speed to stop vehicle. Opened hood and checked ECM / fcm by wiggling it. Started vehicle and headlights came back.

I found last night when I was about to leave from home for some home depot shopping that my headlights didn't turn on. This is low and high beams. Fog lights, corner lights and indicators work just normally.

This time I was heading down with my family from one of the highest spots at yellowstone national park. My speed was about 45 MPH and two lane road with lot of turns. No other traffic in front or behind me. I turned high beams on and there we go, headlights gone. I pulled quickly fog lights on to have some lights. No other options than continue to the next place where I could pull car to side of the road. When stopped I checked if knocking ECM works but it didn't, normally it does. I released four screws and pulled ECM out. Installed my spare ECM, no lights. I installed the old ECM module back and wiggled it and lights came on. I didn't check on the spot that would I have high beams. 1 hour later when we got to cottage we rented I wanted to know what happen this time when turning high beams on. Lights gone again. This time knocking ECM module helped. I tested high beam and low beams multiple times and no issues. Loosing head light have happen with this vehicle before however the issue is that it is intermittent. I haven't found any logic how to repeat it what makes it scary / uncomfortable.

Takata recall the fule rail wiring harness melted down.the wiring harnes is installed right above the exhaust from the factory. The heat from the exhaust over time melted a 4 inch section of the insulation off of the wiring harness causing them to sort out. The van had 130000 miles when this happened. It left me and my family stranded on the freeway, it happened while I was driving. This was very unsafe to have the engine stall out on the freeway. Clearly there should be more than 2 inches between the wiring harness and the exhaust system. I had the van towed to my mechanic $150. Then they replaced the old harness $400 parts $435 labor total $985 dollars!
