Tonight the ABS light came on in my 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan. The same thing happened in my Durango last year, and I called the dealership and they told me over the phone that there is a rear differential sensor that's known for going out. I replaced it, and everything has been fine since. Is there a common problem like this on the Caravans, or could it be anything? (I know there is no rear differential on the Caravan) I checked the fluid level, and it's between 1/2 and 3/4 full. There doesn't seem to be any other issues, and the braking system seems to be working fine (other than no ABS I assume) Any insight would be great. BTW - is this typically an expensive problem?

take it to a mechanic, and have them pull the trouble code from the ABS computer to find out what's going on

^ i agree^ Most of the time, the trouble code will tell which sensor is acting up..

You guys probably won't hear of this happening again. My wife pulled the carpet out of her van a while back as part of her "new car campaign" (It HAD gotten pretty dirty from the kids). With the carpet removed, some wires were exposed. Last night I took her van to pick up an oversized item from Sams. When we loaded it in, we knocked a quick-connect loose, and that's what caused the ABS light to come on. I reconnected it this morning, and the light went out. BTW, if you're wondering, I am buying her a new van.... It's a long story.....

('95 Voy 3.0L - 99K miles) My wife tried to get a new van out of me after a stall at a stop sign in 100 degree heat. It started right up after two minutes. I cleaned the throttle, IAC, and performed a tune up. It hasn't stalled in two years. Sorry honey!
