Trouble Shooting

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Verify customer's concern by operating system. Inspect for blown fuses, damaged fusible links, wiring or harness connectors. Check for loose or frayed drive belt, loose generator ground wire, or corroded battery terminals. Ensure battery is fully charged, and battery cables are in good condition with connections clean and secure. Inspect generator and Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connections. Check engine ground strap. If fault is found, repair as necessary. If no fault is found, perform self-diagnostics. See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM  .
