Did you test this in the vehicle at the moment the light was on? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. firetomb New User Mar 21, 2013, 11:26 PM Post #3 of 4 (1869 views) Re: 97 caravan Sign In i did not, i will test it in the morning Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Mar 22, 2013, 3:18 AM Post #4 of 4 (1859 views) Re: 97 caravan Sign In You have an intermittent problem.
