3 Turn Signal Switch problem of the 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan

Failure Date: 05/08/2015

This vehicle has a stalk on the steering column that controls the windshield washer, wiper, as well as the vehicle bright lights, and the turning signals. Around may. 2014 the washer began working intermittently. Sometimes it would work, sometimes not. Wiggling the stalk would sometimes make it work. By pulling the stalk toward the driver, the bright lights are suppose to come on temporarily, until released. They stopped working, also about may, 2014. It is still working intermittently, but now the turning signals are also affected, working intermittently, or even putting on the left turn signal, when the switch is turned for a right turn, or right for left. I am afraid that this switch is defective, and can cause an accident if it does not work reliably.

4 Turn Signal Switch problem of the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan

Failure Date: 12/05/2014

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.

5 Turn Signal Switch problem of the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan

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.

6 Turn Signal Switch problem of the 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan

Failure Date: 05/07/2009

Turn signal switch signals the opposite direction chosen frequently usually when turning right.

7 Turn Signal Switch problem of the 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan

Failure Date: 10/24/2007

The turn signal switch on this vehicle does not work properly. Many times, when it is switched on, the opposite turn signal turns on (ie. The switch is flipped to make a right turn, but the left signal lights). Sometimes it will come on for the proper direction, but then all of a sudden starts flashing to the other side. Sometimes the signal turns on properly but then just stops doing anything, even though the switch is still "on". And yet other times, the turn signal does not turn on at all. This has been happening over the last month or so, but is getting progressively worse. The vehicle is less than 2 years old, but because the vehicle is 2000 miles out of warranty, Dodge is not willing to repair this without a charge.

8 Turn Signal Switch problem of the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan

Failure Date: 05/25/2007

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.

9 Turn Signal Switch problem of the 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan

Failure Date: 06/29/2003

The turn signals will intermittently work in reverse. For example, if I engage the left turn signal, the right dash light will flash along with the right turn signal lights. This reverse process also happens sometimes when I engage the right turn signal.

10 Turn Signal Switch problem of the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan

Failure Date: 08/31/1998

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.

11 Turn Signal Switch problem of the 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan

On several occasions both interior/exterior turn signals will function when switch is engaged. Area dealer not able to correct failure. Please describe details.
