1998 Plymouth Voyager 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic
Took my van in a week ago to have the ac unit serviced, got it back headed about 2 1/2 hours up north, 2 hours into the trip all my gauges went haywire, battery light and abs light came on. Turned off ac and lost all my gauges as well as the lights for my odometer and gears, turned ac on and gauges and lights came back on (battery and abs light never went off). Managed to finish the trip and get it the 2 1/2 hours back home. Let it set over the weekend as the shop was closed. Took it in first thing on monday and they said it was my tension pulley, said it was warped and the belt wouldnt stay on right, got that fixed, next day while driving went haywire again only thing that was on was my lights. All my dash lights got super bright and then there was a *pop* in the vent and a puff of smoke, then a *pop* under the hood and all went dead, pulled over, opened hood and battery had popped its top. Didnt have any trouble till they took the dash off to open the blender door when I had the ac serviced. Well it is back in the shop again (3 times today alone!). First today they said it was the fan relay. They installed a new relay kit. Sent me on my way. Didnt get out of the parking lot and air bag light came on and wont go off, took it back around and they said it blew the fuse, they put a bigger fuse in and it blew. They said it is common in plymouths and it should be a problem. Went to leave again and my radio quit working. Drove right back around the parking lot and before I got back to the bay door the battery light came on again. They took it in, about 45 minutes later they say the radio fuse blew and battery light was on due to leaking coolant hose (never had a leak) and the hoses blew off. They now deny taking the dash out to open the blender door. They still have not checked in the dash for the problem that caused the *pop* and spark and smoke that came from the dash. Now, 9 hours later they say it is the pcm. That it is continuosly grounding. Could they have screwed up the wiring in the dash causing the pcm to ground continually?
