One problem related to instrument panel has been reported for the 1996 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When operating vehicle the check engine light will intermittently go on, then the windshield wipers will turn on (without me turning them on), the fan on the heater will turn on(if it is off) or off (if it is on). This has happened numerous times over the last year. More recently in the last 8 months or so the heater is only blowing warm/hot air on the passenger side of the vehicle and cold air on the drivers side. It is the same for the defrost.
