Chrysler Repair: 2005 T&C Remote key, radio, DVD stoped working, blown fuses, body control module


Question
The remote lock, radio and DVD player stopped working all at the same time. tried the remove  battery trick but still not working. the interior lights do not work unless the van is running. same for the headlights. the door lock buttons also do not work unless the van is running. i swapped the accessory relay found no blown fuses. instrument lights work, A/C works. Have power to cigarette lighter power jacks. any ideas? Thanks.

Answer
Hi Gene,
The problems increase, or as the phrase goes 'the plot thickens'. With that wide diversity of systems impacted my suspicion is that one of the fuses to the body control module is blown. In my '02 manual I see fuses # 14, 19, 20, 24 as providing power to the unit. So check those out to see that they are blown or even have a subtle crack in the wire which you would have look closely to see or test with an ohmmeter for continuity. Please let me know what you find.
