  1. Yeah on that car I just put it down the a very worn ignition barrel as the key comes out anywhere! It doesn't have a hole like in the picture or any button.
  2. What's your error code pal? Only because I've got a similar thing on one of mine but its a communication between TCM and PCM so cock all to do with the box itself, sort of sadly as that could have been fixed!
  3. I can on one of our three, but the others only come out where the orange line is. But it caused problems when we first got it till I figured out all the way back was wrong and left lots of stuff live.

  5. And well yes you didn't put this in the technical help section in fairness to others...... I would have replied the 2.5 stood no chance as I understood they were manual so good job I kept quiet hey. However in recent posts the 3.3 petrol does interchange with minor mods.

    Spare Keys

    Hi guys I've had keys and remotes coded into mu Grand Voyager by a mobile auto locksmith, you do not need s dealer and definitely not for a key with transponder.
  7. Maybe it could be the drive shaft universal joint at the wheel end? These are available for around £30 on ebay. Jack it up and rotate the wheel with it locked over and it should be fairly obvious.
  8. Hiya Royboy, Have you had any progress on this? I have had this fault on one of mine for some time, tried another transmission ecu, tested wiring between that and Power Control Module, new earth strap to gearbox, and a couple of other desperate things but no joy on mine. The fault code I had initially was no communication TCM to PCM, then not actually giving faults now......
  9. Absolutely a relief indeed, thanks for posting it's sorted. Another for the knowledge base armoury.
  10. I bought the ipod / phone to AV lead from ebay, £1.29!!!!!! And it works - so far hey! Yes, including an envelope and delivery!
  11. Only a guess but have you put the key in the ignition and let it recognise it?
  12. If the selector is on windscreen, as it is on your photo, or foot + windscreen, the system will switch the AC on as it thinks you want to demist the screen. Turn it further round to say face and foot vents, and it should click out the AC. If it all goes off when you turn the climate power off then all's good. But there is another problem that occasionally occurs. The fan auto speed reg packs up so the fan is on full with no control, and when you switch off the fan stays on full and goes into recirc mode.
  13. Hub bearings? When it was all in bits and wheels off were they difficult to turn?
  14. It's sadly possibly that the calipers just didn't like being pushed back home that far, and the internal seal could be causing the mither as you say you lubed them up. I got a seal (2) / piston kit but I've not had time to do the job yet. I swapped the caliper last time for speed as I didn't have much spare time at all, and this is I hope prevenatative. Depends how handy you are but shouldn't be a nightmare to do, however have you checked ebay for calipers as I think I saw them for around £80? Yep - just checked again and a pair can be had for £140 - the PAIR. from a seller called jeep-chrysler
  15. Hi guys, When I tried my Mrs ipod in the AV inputs it played video to the overhead screen and sound all round! Sorry for the mini hijack but how is your engine doing @@andyb2000 ?
  16. Nope, but some weeks you'd be forgiven for thinking that the 2008 boxy shape wasn't quite as popular with owners as Chrysler hoped, due to the lack of activity on the 2008 on section of the forum........ If you fancy a laugh read up on the "idiosyncrasies", some may say problems, of the previous model years....... My tax on my LPG converted 3.3 V6 gets big discount (not really) down to "only" £270
  17. The IOD fuse is for the Body Control Module and various other things. It's been on very recently so worth a look back on recent posts but I think you need to check this one for draw only after at least 15 minutes of key out and exit the car, it monitors for internal lights, door closers and other bits for a while before going to standby mode.
  18. The part number would seem to be YY23BD1AA. Try a main dealer, they should be about £6 to £8 each. Or if a few of you got together we could get them from moparwholsaleparts.com in the States, just had a quick work out and even with delivery they would be around £8 each based on 4.
  19. Hmmm, my 2005 facelift doesn't, but the 2002 does. Different roof vents too.
  20. Not so much on the newer version hey! Prolific on the olders though!
  21. Hey up fella, blooming heck you've had a ruddy tough introduction matey! My first one barely gave me a peep of trouble for 4 years. Then it became a git and is still stood at the drive behind my van a year on!!!!! Yeah I agree on the tyres, scary as hell what some people think (or don't think actually) is fine. If you have round front fog lights it's a facelift. I am guessing it has to be because you mention about stowing the seat, which makes it a Stow n Go version. Only in facelift. To tighten the spare, if you've not found it there is a nut under the rubber floor cover at the front of the floor console next to the (usually pooe) handbrake. Petrol or diesel? You do have to really like them to put up with them don't you! I've not driven ours for a few weeks as it's been getting some repairs and plenty of (Ihope) preventative bits on the suspension, but today went out for a 110 mile round trip with my 2 girls to meet other family. Our 2007 Galaxy is nice, but this was effortless, mega smooth 1st class comfort travel. And I like the line about the taxman with a torch!! When I was a kid it used to be "some bugger with more work".
  22. Hi there Chilli ! Oh no you are not alone!........... I hope I can answer a couple of your points The sliding door tracks are quite hard to find, I've just been through it with mine after my electrical soldering skills were tested and failed. Twice. If yours is the facelift model, there is an extra crash sensor on this loom, located at the back of the door opening, green flat ish plastic, so the earlier loom won't do the job. I bought a new one from the US, from moparwholesaleparts.com but remember it's either a Town and Country or Dodge Grand Caravan on there. The bad news is they are around the £100 mark each. On the central locking it's most likely the actuator, ebay, from China, I believe the record is under a tenner. Not sure on the radio one, but starting and spluttering if it's diesel may be linked to a faulty fuel pressure / non return valve on the rail. Not quite holding enough fuel pressure to keep it going first try. Battery / amp etc unreliable - it's a Yank Tank......... The dials sweeping are an pointer to a low battery charge. Satnav - no idea I don't have the discs, someone said recently there is an updated one, but I'd feel a stand alone unit would be a better bet now. They are a heavy bus, so at 12 years old it isn't impossible the front shocks have had enough. The rear shocks will be much larger diameter than a standard unit if they are the "nivomat" self leveling ones. If you can see a yellow sticker with "Sachs" made in Germany on it and a part number 04743234AA then they should be. Good luck mate, they are a fantastic bus if a little bit of a pain in the toolbox.
  23. Excellent! My usual experience with O rings (on water) is somewhat less positive normally!
