Chrysler Repair - 1999 Chrysler Town and Country Limited Editon Engine shut off


Expert: Roland Finston - 11/9/2009

Question
We were driving home from a wedding this afternoon when the battery light came on followed by the ABS light and the failure of the fuel gauge, tach and speedometer/odometer. The fuel gauge started to register again and then everything shut down and the engine died. All this happened in the space of about a 1/2 mile as I looked for a safe place to pull over. checked battery, starter, ignition, altinatior; replaced PCM but still not fixed. Now we just keep it running.


Answer
Hi Kristina,
I need to know exactly what is and isn't working now, what warning lights are 'on', what parts of the instrument cluster do and don't work. When you say "we just keep it running" does that mean it is driveable or if not, what is going on with the engine/transmission. How did you find a PCM so fast to get it replaced? Was this done at a dealership or an independent shop?
Roland
