I have a 1998 Dodge Caravan and when I was driving home last week and the odometer and gear panel started to flash, when I got home and parked I took out the key opened the door and the door chime was going off as if the key were still in, then when I shut the door my headlights started to flash. Its done this 3 times in the last week. I took it to a shop the mechanic said they could do nothing till it was having the problem while they were testing, which is a long shot. Any advise?
Thanks

Hi this seems like a body control module. Bcm
you can try disconnecting the neg batt cable for 15 mins or so, this may force the bcm to refresh itself and correct this prob. If not then go to the dealer they can get a better look into your ecm and bcm and make adjustments. That non chrsyler scanners can, t. Good luck
