    Here's something that my 1997 Voyager is doing that makes you wonder
    what knucklehead thought this was a good idea. My battery went dead so
    I replaced it. Now I have four blinking lights on my A/C console, the
    A/C button, the Max A/C power button, the rear wiper button, and the
    intermittant wiper button. Anyone smart enough to know how to turn
    these off. I imagine that Chrysler wanted me to ask them to change the
    battery -- but that's not gonna happen.

    Ya know, my VCR does the same thing if I unplug it.

    I believe that this will get the lights off:


    CALIBRATION/DIAGNOSTICS TEST ENTRY
    TO INITIATE TESTS:
    a.. Set Blower motor ON HIGH
    b.. Set Mode position to Panel
    c.. Open all A/C outlets
    d.. Set Temperature to Cold (Both slide pots if equipped)
    e.. Depress WASH and REAR WIPER button simultaneously for 5
    Seconds (Until
    all LED's light)
    RESULTS:
    a.. All LED's will turn on for 5 Seconds
    b.. Calibration Test is running when REAR WIPER and
    INTERMITTENT are
    alternately flashing. Cooldown test is running if A/C and RECIRC
    are
    alternately flashing.
    c.. Acceptable results is REAR WIPER LED is the only LED
    flashing. Push
    Rear Wiper to exit.
    d.. After all tests have passed, Calibration Diagnostics and
    Cooldown can
    be run separately.
    COOLDOWN TEST ENTRY
    TO INITIATE TESTS:
    a.. Set Blower motor ON HIGH
    b.. Set Mode position to Panel
    c.. Open all A/C outlets
    d.. Set Temperature to Cold (Both slide pots if equipped)
    e.. Depress WASH and A/C simultaneously for 5 Seconds
    NOTE: Prior to start of test, If the evaporator is already cold,
    the system
    will fail test. To correct, operate system with A/C OFF and the
    blower motor
    ON high for three minutes prior to starting test.

    RESULTS:
    a.. All LED's will turn on for 5 Seconds
    b.. Cooldown Test is running when A/C and RECIRC. are
    alternately
    flashing. If A/C and RECIRC. are flashing simultaneously,
    Cooldown has
    failed.
    CALIBRATION DIAGNOSTICS AND COOLDOWN ABORT
    Test can be aborted by doing one of the following:

    a.. Depressing Rear Window Defogger, RECIRC and Rear Wiper
    buttons.
    b.. Cycling Ignition OFF and then ON.
    c.. Control will automatically abort after 15 minutes from the
    time
    Calibration Diagnostics and Cooldown was entered.
    The HVAC control module will return to normal operation or may
    indicate
    unsuccessful Calibration Diagnostics or Cooldown test by LED's
    flashing
    simultaneously.

    Thanks. My lights are off. It took several attempts and I assume that
    step one should be to turn on the engine. It didn't work with the
    engine off. Thanks again.

    Considering that the engine must be running for the AC compressor to
    work, yes, having the engine on is a reasonable assumption. :)
