I had a problem with my own van once where the primary o2 sensor wouldnt work after replacing the motor. I put the original back in and still wouldnt work. Got a new one from the parts store and it didnt work. Checked and verify all wires to the pcm from the defective sensor. Took it for a pcm flash as there was a bulletin for an update for o2 sensor compatability. Dealer ssid my pcm couldnt be programed. I thought my pcm was damaged so i ordered a new one. Still had no communication with o2 sensor. Took van to the other dodge dealer and they reprogram the pcm but it still wouldnt work. Got another o2 sensor of differnt manufacturer and still no communication. Ordered a sensor right from dodge and took van in for diagnosis. Explained the situation to the tech and he verified no communication on o2. We instaled the dealer o2 Denso brand and it worked instantly. Why did none of the others work, just the denso? I looked at my original and it was denso. Only Denso worked. First dodge dealer tried to reflash the pcm wirelessy is why it failed and why they couldnt program the pcm. Incompetant dealer techs.

Also had a Dakota that had a ton of new parts under the hood. They had shoped it around to lots of mechanics for a stall and missfire. I took it for a drive and after a good long full throttle burst it would sputter and cough. I took it back to the shop and open the hood and rev the motor and spotted a tiny spray of coolant was spraying from the heater hose right onto the ignition coil. Replaced heater hose and gave the guy a small bill and they couldnt believe it was such a small problem.

Can anyone answer this question? I have a 05 Town&Country, and I have 2 problems, my turn signal switch works, but after I turn, it stays on until I click it back or turn it back, but my Bigger Problem is my hazzard switch on the dash doesn't work at all, so I can't put my emergency flashers on. Could I need both, or could the turn signal switch possibly fix both problems?

Hey man! This was helpful. I had some spare time before breakfast and thought I would see if there was a how to video for this part on my van. Turns out, this repair will be as easy as I thought. Sometime you can diagnose your own issue. The switch gets some play in it that it shouldn't have. For me, it causes my wiper blades to not work properly.

Oh my frikken Gawd! I've been putting off replacing the switch in my wife's Grand Caravan because I had visions of threading 80 or so wires down a steering column like the last turn signal switch I replaced. and it's that frikken easy? Don't tell her. I really should read the Heinous manual more often.

I had a problem with my turning signal switch. It was working intermittent and I thought it was the switch but after some further troubleshooting it was the relay that was bad. Cracked it open and soldered the connection points. Problem fixed. So next time, why not do it yourself! Great video btw.

I found this as I'm having an issue with my turn signal, complete a right turn and the signal turns off as it should but complete a left turn and I have to stop the signal myself it wont click off.
Would replacing this unit resolve that issue?

Come on! This was too easy. Bring on the rust. How about replacing rear control arm bushings on a rusty Ford Explorer? Replacing a front axle on something really rusty. Bring on the sledge hammer and pullers!
