Clockspring on my 99 grand caravan se has my airbag light on. My gauges went out while driving down hwy going 65mph and came right back on and my head lights flicker and its like it just comes and goes.
Intermittent loss of all dashboard indicator lights and gauges. Electric door locks will not work.

Tl*the contact owns a 1999 dodge grand caravan. Ever since the vehicle was purchased new in 1999, the contact noticed that the headlamps were dim. When she took the vehicle to the dealer, they laughed at her. The failure progressively worsened. She had the bulbs replaced and recently had the headlamps polished; however, the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was out of warranty and is the contact's problem. The failure mileage was 230,000 and current mileage was 280,000. Updated 09/10/08. *lj the tailgate was replaced 3 times. The sliding doors would not open. The consumer stated the headlights have crystallized to the point it creates shadows on the road. Updated 09/012/08.
I have a 1999 dodge grand caravan with 70k miles. Over the last year or so, the turn signals have intermittently failed, usually the left signal. Sometimes the signals won't work when first applied, but then suddenly start working again. I finally traced the problem to the "turn signal/emergency flasher" module, chrysler part # 4686190. The module itself is fine, but through road vibration the module loses full contact with its receptacle. Because the module is plugged into a fuse block sideways, the part is fairly large, and not balanced, the design contributes to the module breaking contact with its receptacle. I have heard of other chrysler owners experiencing the same problem.
Headlight lenses have become clouded and make it hard to see at night on unlighted roads.
The planetary set from the automatic transmission was discovered broken by the dealer after the vehicle would not start. *ak headlights were to dim on the vehicle.
A white foggy substance would accumulate inside the front headlight lens. The consumer was unable to see the road.
Headlights have become cloudy and light transmission has diminished greatly. Light is very dim due to the cloudiness. If this continues will be unable to drive at night. This was brought to the attention of dodge service manager who said there was nothing he could do about it.
