98 Town and Country LXI Mini Van Electrical Problems

[Clyde Lomax]

Good evening,

My daughter has the above mini-van and it started doing the following:

Front fan for Air-conditioning quits (rear works fine), turn signals quit, ABS light comes on, and the Trac Notice light comes on. This happens after about 15 to 20 minutes driving. Occasionally it will be working fine and still less than 20 minutes and you can make a turn and all of the symptoms start. Sounds like an electrical problem but there is about a mile of wire and need to narrow the search a little if possible.

Have not taken to a Chrysler dealer but the Lexus Dealer, friend of the family, has given up.

Anyone had a similar problem or any ideas.

thanks in advance.

Sounds like a bad ground somewhere. Start with the ground cables from the battery. Also a bad battery can cause some real strange issues too.

first thing that needs to be done is fault codes pulled the fan might have a failed and burn't resistor block at the fire wall that may not be a related issue, but faulk codes need to be pulled first so a plan of action can be taken

After a short look at the wiring for that vehicle, it appears that the only thing that these 2 systems have in common is the ignition switch.
