You need to reset the console:
Start the car.
Turn blowers on FULL, and open all A/C ports (Rear, front...). If you can tell, it is better to have the A/C compressor off. (Often you can't tell, or you wouldn't be concerned with the flashing lights, right?) Turn front air to PANEL.
Press simultaneously the Rear Wiper (not the intermittent) button and the wash button. Hold for 5 seconds until all lights are constant. Release buttons and allow the tests to run (two minutes or so.)
When the Rear Wiper and the Intermittent Rear Wiper indicators are flashing alternately, it is going through the Calibration Test. When the A/C (snowflake) and the Recirculation indicators are flashing alternately, it is going through the Cool Down Test. (In my case, both sets flashed alternately during the entire test.)
Tests are successful when only the Rear Wiper indicator is flashing slowly. Push it to exit the program, and you're done.
Often, after doing these tests for the first time, the Cool Down Test fails, and the A/C and the Recirculation indicators flash simultaneously (though, just these two instead of the four.) Simply run the Cool Down Test independently by pressing simultaneously the A/C and the Wash Buttons. Hold for 5 seconds, and allow the test to run.
This may take more than a few runs to finally set. Mine worked when I ran the test as soon as I started the car the next time (after the car had cooled off completely overnight). When all lights go out except for the Rear Wiper, push the Rear Wiper to exit. Success!
Some have suggested turning the compessor off and running the car for 15 minutes previous to the Cool Down Test. This did not work for me. But it is true that if the compressor is cold (with condensation), the Cool down test will usually fail. Try, try again. If your A/C compressor is in good condition, it will eventually set. If nothing seems to work, your A/C might be have a problem.
WHY don't the manuals come with this information??
Hope I have helped you.
It is a government required safety device. The flashing lights are supposed to warn other vehicles that a passenger is about to exit the vehicle.
my instrument cluster and my back window wiper and the heat on my 1999 dodge caravan is working
There's a TSB on this problem.
If the interior lights come on and go of and chimes sound off f on a 1997 Dodge Caravan there could be a loose connection somewhere. This is a common condition with the Dodge Caravan series.
Dodge caravan 1997,instrument cluster is not working in all..have a kind of fuse o relay?.
With the key in the off position, hold down the trip odometer reset button until the dash lights start flashing. When it is all done start the car, and see if it reset.
That is the part with the gauges.
There is a faulty fuse that goes to the interior lights. There could also be a short in the wiring that leads to the lights.
Some suggested Dodge Caravan accessories are splash guards, a running board, a cargo liner, and fog lights. You can find Dodge Caravan accessories on websites like Mopar and AutoAnything.

The headlights on a Dodge Caravan are adjusted by turning the screws located on the top and side of each light. They should be adjusted with the lights pointed at a wall for accuracy.
