I just picked up my 1998 Town and country van after shipping it back to the states from Germany. I have four flashing yellow lights on the dash -- AC, recirculate, and both rear wiper buttons. As soon as I start the car they flash. The same thing happen when I shipped the van to Germany (2 month trip) and the dealer was able to "reset" in a matter of minutes. I don't know what they did. I have tried disconnected the battery for 30 minutes but that didn't help. Does anyone know how to do this? I really don't won't to go to the dealer for this. Thanks. Kevin
Kevin, you need to perform these test, keep in mind that if your a/c is not working or low on charge you will not be able to reset it a.. Set Blower motor ON HIGH b.. Set Mode position to Panel c.. Open all A/C outlets d.. Set Temperature to Cold (Both slide pots if equipped) e.. Depress WASH and REAR WIPER button simultaneously for 5 Seconds (Until all LED's light) RESULTS: a.. All LED's will turn on for 5 Seconds b.. Calibration Test is running when REAR WIPER and INTERMITTENT are alternately flashing. Cooldown test is running if A/C and RECIRC are alternately flashing. c.. Acceptable results is REAR WIPER LED is the only LED flashing. Push Rear Wiper to exit. d.. After all tests have passed, Calibration Diagnostics and Cooldown can be run separately. COOLDOWN TEST ENTRY a.. Set Blower motor ON HIGH b.. Set Mode position to Panel c.. Open all A/C outlets d.. Set Temperature to Cold (Both slide pots if equipped) e.. Depress WASH and A/C simultaneously for 5 Seconds NOTE: Prior to start of test, If the evaporator is already cold, the system will fail test. To correct, operate system with A/C OFF and the blower motor ON high for three minutes prior to starting test. RESULTS: a.. All LED's will turn on for 5 Seconds b.. Cooldown Test is running when A/C and RECIRC. are alternately flashing. If A/C and RECIRC. are flashing simultaneously, Cooldown has failed.
