After replacing the battery in my 1998 dodge caravan (127,000 miles) the A/C control panel and rear window wiper control button lights flash for 15 min's after starting the van. Everything works properly but the lights just flash for 15 min's. When the flashing stops the lights operate properly. Any ideas on what might be going on?

it should stop doing that after 12 or so starts. if not take it to a AZ parts store(if you know what i mean) and have them to clear the codes. there is a way to do this with the dashboard buttons but i can't remember.

Suggested Repair

After a battery replacement, the flashing control lights should stop after about 12 starts. If they continue, have stored codes cleared at an auto parts store. A dashboard-button procedure may also clear them, but the exact steps were not recalled.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1998 Dodge Caravan says the A/C control panel and rear wiper button lights flash for about 15 minutes after starting following a battery replacement, then work normally. The expert says the flashing should stop after roughly a dozen starts; if not, have the codes cleared at a parts store.
