Hello all,

Sorry if this is a repeat, but I searched and didn't find anything.

We have a 2008 Grand Caravan. Love it so far, with the exception of having to do brakes/rotors at 30K, having our doors adjusted 3 different times so they actually closed on the first try (automatic doors) and the cigarette lighters not working half the time. Oh, to top it off, we had to have the window shades replaced (Family package) because they were catching on the edges and fraying. One last thing, the dealer exchanged our keys for new ones, something about a recall - now mine doesn't work half the time, sometimes I have to click it 7 times to get the door to open or unlock.

Anyway, I can deal with those things. What I can't deal with is the constant ticking coming from my dash. I notice it when it's cold (10 degrees) and I notice it when it's warm (for example today, 50 degrees). It typically happens at 35 MPH or more, and even moreso when I'm steering towards the right (not necessarily turning a corner, but more of a lean to the right like switching lanes on the HWY).

Anyone have any ideas? This is annoying as hell.

Thank you in advance.

 

Welcome to DF
I have looked for TSB and chrysler star oline. Zero for the ticking problem you are having. I would start checking the bulk head for maybe a hose clamp hitting the bulk head wall. If that doesn't work, you may need to go to the dealer.

 

Thank you for the reply. When you say bulk head, are you referring to under the hood or between the dash and the engine compartment?

Thank you in advance!

 

I think he means both, the bulk head is the vertical metal panel between the interior and the engine compartment. Something could be tapping on the panel in the engine area.
