Five problems related to turn signal switch have been reported for the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan based on all problems reported for the 2005 Grand Caravan.
Turn signals stopped working in the front. Replaced bulbs multi funtion switch and light buld sockets and still dont work.
Turn signals randomly stop working and then work again. Probably 50% of the time. Poses a real safety issue for myself and other drivers. Especially at night when hand signals are hard to see. Fuses are all good, I'm guessing a faulty switch is to blame.
1. Turn signals occasionally reverse signal right but left signal actuates, windshield wipers are intermittent. 2. Seldom, needed to pull over in rain shower, had to use hand turning signals 3. The wiper / signal switch was replaced by a mechanic.
Turn signals are not working correctly - "confused". This problem has just begun in the past two months with our 2005 Grand Caravan. The problem is intermittent, when you signal to turn right, the left turn signals comes on. Then, if you signal to the left, no turn signals will light. The turn signal lever movement feels normal when this occurs (doesn't appear to be catching or hanging up on any thing). If you jigglethe lever back and forth the signals will work normally again. The first time we noticed it was while driving in a heavy rain storm, but now it happens a couple of time a week. The vehicle was in to the dealership, but they were unable to duplicate the problem. However, it is becoming more prevalent and maybe the next time they can observe the actual failure.
Steering column switch controlling turn signals, windshield wipers. Intermittent failure of wipers, washer, turn signals and turn signal reversal (indicate turn right signal for left actuates) to correct on a short term operating the tilt function corrects failure temporarily. This event occurs regularly at least every other time vehicle is used. Dealer can not replicate failure. I am a automotive quality engineer trained in root cause and corrective actions this failure in my opinion is due to the harness connection either wire pull out or connector failure. I have had wipers fail during heavy rain driving. Turn signals indicating incorrect direction nearly causing a rear end collision and washer not operate while driving in salt laden conditions. I have spoken to many owners who indicate this is an issue in their caravan as well.
