Have the charging system completely checked out, as this has a computer controlled system you need a shop that knows what they are doing, not a quickie test from a parts store.

I would check for obvious stuff first like battery cables, terminals to make sure they're clean and tight, belt etc. If everything looks good, have it checked

This model has a "clutch" on hub of alt, cold or restarts is fine, warms up or stop and go it starts discharging the bat. Two ways to solve it tack weld hub so it's permanent locked or replace it.

I have a 2001 Caravan and it keeps running for over a minuet or two when key is turned off .. Normally it will start & run fine ... But lately it will start and run as if it is runnig barely on 3 cylinders.. I wait about 5 minuets . It starts and runs like a champ again until I have to shut it off and it keeps running . So I tried bumpping the key a few times to on & off and sme times it will help ... Also there is a relay shut down fuse that keeps on ticking & will kill the battery if I dont pull it out . Someties I'd walk away and not hear it and a few hours later it comes on by it's self .. I swear the thing is haunted . I want to sell it because I have 5 other cars and trucks and though it is good riding nice condition I do not want to pass this known problem on to someone else .. Any comments would be helpful ... I am pretty sure it has got to be an eletrictial problem of some sort ... 1 Answer
