I have this problem that is getting worse as the weather gets colder. My wipers, power windows, radio and blower fanfor the heat do not work when I start the van (2001 Chrysler Voyager). They do eventually come on, sometimes within 10-15 minutes, sometimes up to 30-60 minutes. When I turn the van off, they work again. The rear windshield wiper is somehow involved also.When it is on, the clock/radio blinks and the windows go up or down (not on their own, but by my urging), but it is in time with the rear wiper movements. The rear wiper gives out after a couple minutes. The ignition switch and front control module were replaced, but this did not fix the problem. The dealer also suggested replacing the ignition cylinder, but I fear it being replaced, not fixing the problem, and being out the money when I still have the issue. I would appreciate any advice, as I fear what it will be like for us when snow comes soon and the weather gets even colder. Thank you.

 

check your battery out. i bet you need a new one.

 

My 2002 town & country is doing the same thing. Did you eventually solve your electrical problem? Thanks

 

I, too, have the same problem in my 2002 T&C; sometimes mine just stops working while driving (usually on a hot day, but engine water temp still reads normal). If I turn engine off and leave key on, the accessories start working again, but not for long. Have replaced battery, relays, planned to replace ignition switch, but according to this thread, that may not work either! Someone please HELP!!!

:help_wsig

 

I did a continuity check on the relays with an ohm meter when they (the relays) were hot from the engine running, and one did not work. They all worked when the engine compartment was cool. I replaced that relay and everything worked as normal. Thanks to everyone for all the good ideas.

 

And "that" relay was which relay?

 

It was the Accessories relay.

 

I tried replacing the accessories relay, too, but still have the problem...is there anything else that may be heat/temperature sensitive in the accessories circuit? I may try replacing all the relays with new to see if that solves the problem.

trophyclub1: how exactly did you check the relay continuity?

Thanks all!
