I have a 1997 Dodge Caravan, its the basemodel (Not even power mirrors). I have installed Power Windows, Installed the motor for the locks and ran the wires (Can't figure out how to hook them up as there are only 2 wires for the switch and motor) and installed Cruise Control. I removed all the parts from a 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan that was in my local wrecking yard. I have also swapped most of the interior (Seats,Door Plastics,etc). I have ran the wires as the repair manual states there are originally hooked up, The wire for the Cruise Control (thing) under the hood was allready there. When I press the On/Off Button I hear a click, Every time I press it it makes one click, I have had my father press the button while I am under the hood and its coming from the (thinggy) that controls the cruise. The cruise will not set and hold a speed. Anyone have any advice? Same goes for the power locks? How do I hook them up?

Thanks in Advance.

If you need more info just ask.

 

Welcome to DF
Is the air bag light on? Because the clockspring is also for the speed control and rolling door locks.

 

Hi,

I forgot to mention, I also changed the whole steering column with one that has tilt and cruise already, The airbag light is not on, And the clicking that the cruise control servo is making is telling me that there is a connection from the steering wheel. This van did not have cruise when it was new.

 

The new column could still have with the clockspring.

 

Did you connect the vacuum to the servo?

 

Hi

Yes I did connect the vacuum line to the reserve tank and the vacuum line on throttle body. And I have tested the clockspring by using the horn etc while turning the wheel either way and it works fine

 

Brake light switch could be out of adjustment. Does it set any codes in the PCM? if you have servo issues, it should set a code.

 

Well

Like I said, this van was a bottom of the line van, I installed all the parts off a 1996 dodge grandcaravan, ran a line to the wire on the PCM that was/would have been usedfor the cruise if it came with it, ran the ground to ground, and tapped into the brake light sensor above the brake pedal as it would have been if it had came with cruise, the wires for the servo was already under the hood and all I did was plug the connector in. I have also replaced the cruise control dimmer module inside the column as I had thought it might be that, did not make a difference, also replaced the module for the brake and it did not make a difference either.

 

How many wires to your brake light switch? And just so you know, '96 and '97 vans were miles apart when it came to wiring. A ton of it was changed between the model years.

Are there any codes?

 

Hi

I will post the number of wires when I get home, as far as I know there is no code? How do I check for a code? Unless you are talking about the SES light?
