Here is a video on how to remove your fuse box, clean it, and put it back into place. This repair is pretty easy to do and only takes about 40 minutes from start to finish!
TOOLS:
• Philips Screw Driver - amzn.to/3hdpzx0
• T25 Screw Driver - amzn.to/33pVkL9
• Pick (optional) - amzn.to/3nZM8q4
• Magnetic Metal Tray (optional) - keeps you from losing screws and bolts - amzn.to/3hdUiJZ
• Multimeter (optional) - checking fusing - amzn.to/3o1T5qw
You can easily check your fuses to ensure they are working by using a multimeter and using the continuity setting and attach it to both of the metal pieces. If it peeps, then it's good.
This video should work on Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country for Generation 4 for the years of 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007. It should be very similar for years before and after this.

I have a 2006 Didge Caravan. I replaced the electric window regulator and control panel switch last year. Recently, the driver' window stopped working again, then the passenger stopped rolling up. I took the switch covers off and saw the contact for the new passenger motor control had fried itself so not making enough contact to conduct the current for the motor. I concluded there were too many amps being drawn through the circuit. I am sure glad that you posted this video because it was the thing or place that maybe causing the faulty amount of current to fry the components of the window circuit and the very thing I was going to examine. This of course is my next project.

I had issues with the battery cable on this unit shaking off set a bit.... it would cause speedometer, radio to start and stop.. used a wire tie to keep constant pressure pulling upward on the cable between battery and tipm... seems to work... it would somehow come loose and do like a constant on off on off on off...

Appreciate the video MC.....well explained. I have a p5013 code with my 2007 Dodge Caravan 3.8 litre and wanted a visual on how to remove the TIPM box to inspect the wiring conditions among other possible issues. I might add that I've found Scotch Brite works best rather than emery cloth/paper in most applications. Scotch Brite folds nicely and is more flexible, formable and spongy for getting in between terminals/etcetera. I'm thinking a good shot of electronic spray/aerosol would be useful cleaning the terminals also.

This is perfect. I have an 06 Dodge Grand Caravan that has been acting funny. I’ve replaced A LOT on this van and now the power locks unlock but will not lock and the radio went out. As I checked fuses, the IOD fuse was so badly corroded that the prong broke off in the terminal and I can’t get it out. I think taking out the fuse block and doing what you demonstrated will give me the access to the prong. This is the only video I’ve found demonstrating this. Love it! Hopefully it works for me and hopefully that fuse is the solution to my problems. Do I HAVE to take the module off to remove the terminal cover?

I had a similar issue to this in an old Stratus with a ground wire that was a bit frayed and caused weird symptoms like this.

I had to pressure wash my engine to get the grime off it before I work on it. Finished everything over a few days after washing. Had trouble starting it. Sounded like relay. Got it stared and ran a few different times. A couple different times I would start it and it ran like shit and the instruments and lights where going crazy. Hoping this will fix it🤞

Did you cover your electrical components (ipm, battery, coils, etc) before pressure spraying?

@naughtysquirreloutdoors5662 2 жыл бұрын

@@MCFIXIT no I just tried to stay away from all that. Just got to close to the fuse box. I pulled it out with every fuse and disconnected all electrical connections. cleaned everything with electrical cleaner and topped them all with electric grease. Problem solved.

After two days my battery goes dead. I should try this. We troubleshoot to a FCM BEING the issue. I’ll clean first.

Where do you get a replacement for the power cable coming into the TIPM? I really don't want to pay dealership fees. Have you found any other location? Also, why did you totally remove the battery? Isn't just taking off the terminals enough?

@debbiejones4860 3 жыл бұрын

I don't think you would have been able to open up the fuse box since it's on a hinge without removing the battery completely. Also, You could do an aftermarket one but it won't have the connector like on this vehicle

@MCFIXIT 3 жыл бұрын

I’d stick with a mopar product bc of the weird connector or getting one from a junkyard (if it looks good)!

@jameskirby9369 2 жыл бұрын

What about spray all the connectors and cables with electronics spray cleaner

@MCFIXIT 2 жыл бұрын

Others have suggested this. In my opinion, I’m not a fan of spraying wires that carry power.

@jaycooper13 3 жыл бұрын

Most ppl don't use dialectric grease, or some other form of conductive material on the terminals. W hy not?

@MCFIXIT 3 жыл бұрын

Great question! I see dialectic grease has primarily a protectant and since it's already covered in the box. I don't see it as necessary. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Sounds like battery or connection at the battery (negative or positive). That’s where I’d start.
