Keeping the 2011 van going
Keeping the 2011 van going
Bought used in 2019. Not a Honda or a Toyota, a Dodge Grand Caravan. Given how many examples of the previous Caravan body type I still see on the roads (at least 17 years old), I think I will have it for at least 4 more years. It runs well and I keep it maintained.
It's only annoying quirk is that the "check engine" light comes on for a few days whenever we have a lot of rain and high humidity.
Get a code reader and see what's shorting... possibly something has corroded and the moisture is enough to cause a short. Could be a tps sensor... could be something critical.
It's been doing this for years. The nearest Dodge dealership can't find anything wrong with it.
Electrical diagnosis is an entirely different beast. Your local dealership probably doesn't have someone capable as technicians these days are part swappers. Better luck at a reputable shop with an older tech.
What's codes came up?
