Thank you for showing me how to do this on my Caravan. Very helpful!

I’ve been looking how to do this for some time. Thanks

Awesome info! I didn't know that doing this would reset the TIPM. This will save me a lot of $$!! My light has been on for 2 years now! Gonna do this tonight!

Great video and quick fix

Thanks for showing me how to do this!

Would this also work on a 2013? I am having the crazy lights ect.. going on in my van. thanks.

Is there any volatile memory in the TIPM that can be "reset"? I took the fuse box out of my 2005 Grand Caravan, and there was only analog circuit board, fuses, and relays; nothing that could be "reset". Perhaps this process would work for the Engine Control Module.

I tried all the fuses except the big squear one. I was thinking it was a loose wier on the altrinator Or something under the car. So if I take the tipm out of the van, clean it, and see if it works. I wonder if there is any call backs for the Crystler 2014 town and country, do you know how to find out?

I have a 2004 Dodge Caravan SXT all of a sudden one afternoon turned van on shut off, turned on again then it shut off again. Then the blinking red security came on. and would not crank or do anything. Gonna try this overnight. Any suggestions if the hard reset doesnt take?

Fantastic video 👊

I have a 2014 Town and Country van. It's started out that the engine light goes on, I did a scan and it said to replace the Cadlic converter. Then after it said to replace the oxygen sensors on the converter. Now the dash lights and on, no blinkers, heated seats don't work, no speedometer, no mileage, no gas signal. Not sure what it is, costing me allot of money just to figure it out. If I clean out the tipm, or replace it, do I have to reset the computer? Plus the lead on the ECMS looks like it might not be on correctly. Could that be the cause???

Intermitten problem with power. Windows. It says in owners manual check postion #28 i dont have orignal cover for fuse box

Could this solve my issue with ODB2 not getting power? Says in manual after battery replacement it needed to be reset by dealership in manual. I never put those terminals together gonna try it though.

I got a 2012Town&country it wouldn’t start until I piper cable less then 10 to 15 second then it starts right up and runs all at I change the dack door lock because it would keep the lights on all get

You said this could help in random strange things happening.. will this help reset stereo? You know how the clock and radio n cd 💿 all together, well it been 15 yrs since it last work.. when u turn radio on or CD player or cassette it starts blinking with slight noise and only happens when turned on, but lately sometimes not always when turn key on it makes my CD player act like I just turned it on does blinking…. Now when start my van sometimes the fans to Heater turns on automatic without being on strange never experienced these thing on car like my DGC it 2001 … do u think it could help doing this?

So far this has worked my van started randomly throwing all the dash lights on headlights on all gears lit up trac off and no miles displayed as well as gauges freezing and stopping i tried this fix overnight hooked it up and started it it’s was doing the same thing for about a minute then turned off and has not been back so far

So my question is we changed the radiator out in our Chrysler Town and country van and for some reason or another the heater is not working now do you think it would pay us to reset the Box

I replaced my tipm my car run great but my service dash lights are all on, my speedometer doesn't work, and my turn signals in the back come on when I break instead of the actual break lights. Is there another way to reset the tipm? Or what is the problem?

Dose it reset pcm to?

Thank you for the video. A month ago, my car no longer blinks when I press the remote key. Does this method help?

would you recommend this on a 2011 town and country?

I'm trying this now....I've replace the starter the battery n starter relay ...when I tried to start it now the fuse box started going crazy...ticking... ..before it wouldnt start sometimes then I would have to give it gas to start it...but less n less it started till it didn't start at all....so I found this video n hoping it will work ... I think it has something to do with the fuel ..sometimes the gas speedometer doesn't work or jumps up and down n the gas one is always off ... Any suggestions ? If this doesn't work? Will let u know in few hours

I don’t know if you could help me but I’m having a problem I replace three alternators and they still don’t they still fail when I take it to the auto parts store to check the alternator charging the battery I’m having all kinds of crazy blinking of the lights Panel lights after the car sits overnight it won’t start it seems like a drain the battery but the alternator is showing it’s not charging I went through three brand new alternator don’t know what the problem was wondering if you can help

Reasons you need to reset tips, my chrysler town won't start sometimes. Turn key, all lights display come like normal. But nothing happens, after several attempts ( 5 minutes later) turning key on and off it cranks ?

Do you know what the small red wire on the positive side is?

Does it help to remove all of the plugs under the fuse box to assist in reseting the system? Or is this enough?

I have not read through all the comments so if I am repeating my apologies. Connecting the positive and negative leads together is likely discharging capacitors throughout the electrical system, TIPM and elsewhere. Having to keep them connected for hours is consistent with slowly discharging capacitors.

I will disconnect the negative and put a jumper cable from negative to positive without removing the battery. Thank you

Will this reset the security system also

Do you have to take out the battery?

I have no power at the range sensors on the tranny. No ignition power at the starter. Have starter power from battery. Any ideas?? This didn't work for me 😢

What are the symptoms that indicated that you should reset the tipm

Car cranks but doesn’t start after an alternator replacement could that mean the tipm?

Will this reset the pcm

I'm doing my reset on a 08 dodge nitro right now, battery is still on car, just unplug and put aside when putting +/- together, unplugged all my TIPM plugs and leaving it over night, my SUV is possessed and need to remove the evil out, hopefully this does the trick, I believe when my struts were replaced, my guy did not reset my TIPM and had unplugged all plugs to get to the driver side strut, and as I know for fact for I was there, he did not reset anything, maybe this caused me issues later🤷

Do i turn it to the on position?

This is a Integrated Power Module ( there is no microprocessor or microcontroller to reset in that IPM) not the dreaded Totally Integrated Power Module that Totally sucks., the TIPM, wasn’t installed upon Chrysler Town and Country until 2008 and up. This is a 2002, same as the 2001-2007 4th Generation Minivans!

Will that reset your mileage back to zero?

I dont know wat postion #28 is

My husband put a new battery in it and started it and left it Run for awhile and it run out of gas now it won't start you can hear the fuel pump but won't start

2:15 ''connect terminals together'' Why not insert a 1ohm resistor between the terminals? Why 4 hours, and not 15 or 20 minutes?

It's not stupid if it really works.

W

didnt work for e the tipm was total dead took 3 day for it to come back

Won't this short out your system???

This does nothing and the battery will not drain I tried this myself for 24 hours and hooked both cables back up and the mileage trip reading was still the same does nothing

ok whats the problem on this vehicle why resetting the TIPM

What is tips mean

There is 100 percent nothing NOTHING I REPEAT NOTHING inside that power distribution box that can be reset they will let anybody post a video..... You can reset the pcm using the method that you show in the video if you turn the head lights on it will drain the compasitor in the pcm faster in like 15 minutes
