Caravan SXT 3.3L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,270 miles

It's not a big deal. The quick fix that I found was to bang on the climate control panel, the switch tends to stick. I bought the car used so I'm not sure how it was treated. I'll replace it once it stops working completely.

Starting to have multiple problems. Heater fan did not work this day. It is below 0 today and my trip got shortened considerably. Warning lights for Air bag staying on. Got to find out what the little red dot is flashing for as well. Transmission slipping. Front Brakes needed replaced at 35,000.

Remedy for today. I bought a 2007 Honda Odyssey EX/

just in time for the freezing cold weather! A couple days ago they fixed the resistor switch, but the blower fan stopped working again today! Therefore, no heat again! I took it back to the dealership and they replaced the blower fan motor. As more of these "defects" come in they're suggesting that perhaps ice buildup is getting into the blower motor and seizing/blowing the resistor switch and/or blower motor. Since it is a new problem, they didn't really have any advice to help me prevent this from happening again.... So here's wishing for continued warm & toasty toes everyday on my drive into work!!!!

just as the freezing cold weather set in, the blower fan which circulates engine heat into the vehicle stopped working. I reported the prob on a Monday, they fixed it within 1 hour the next day.. great service... I love this dealership! Apparently it was the resistor switch which ?fried? this is a new problem, and they're still trying to pinpoint the cause. I wasn't the only one, several people were having the same "defect" as mine. It was all covered by the manufacturer, the car is barely 1 year old.
