[5th Gen : 08+]: Something is discharging my battery
Dodge CaravanThe Dodge Caravan is the best selling mini van from Dodge. How many Dodge Caravan owners here at DodgeForum.com would agree? Discuss it now!
You can do the draw test on EVERY fuse and relay, HOWEVER the TIPM has internal drivers (that are not fused or testable) and such and can malfunction and cause a drain. Usually a good clue that this is happening is that it takes the removal of 2,3 or more fuses at once to get rid of the draw. That is, if the draw is live.
I would like to learn more about these internal drivers. I have a 2006 service manual. Is it in there, or is it only on newer rigs? Any advice?
Dorman now sells TIPM's. I dont know what they cost though. For a 2011 the part number is 599-983. I would think they would be cheaper than factory. When you shut the van off do you hear the fuel pump running?
