How to Remove, Reset and Refit TIPM - Grand Caravan 3.6 V6 (2011-2021)

[@cnoel1982]

THANK YOU! my ac compressor just got replaced for $1000 and the ac still didn't work. They told me I need to replace my TIPM because there is corrosion on it and it's affecting the temp control. Dealership told me the part would cost $2650 plus HST (Canada). Watched your video and went to a Kenny u pull found the same year caravan, removed the TIPM and installed it in mine. Didn't work right away even with the soft reset, so I did it overnight for a complete reset and BOOM! AC works like a charm. The tip cost me $50! You saved me!! Thank you thank you! Subscribed.

[@imjody]

I thought TIPMs were VIN specific! O_O

[@PowderedToastMan420]

You saved me so much money. The dealer wanted $1400. I grabbed a TIPM from the junk yard for $50. Blower motor working like a champ now. Thanks. SUBSCRIBED!!!

[@strichards5337]

An outstanding and thorough video. The dealership got me once before on this replacement. Gave me some BS about a core charge (not documented anywhere) and kept my orig TIPM. It was late, I was tired and broke; I gave up and went home. I’ve never gone back to that dealership, nor any Chrysler dealership since. My thanks to you all; I’ll be taking my swap this time into my own hands (with your help 🙏🏽). Cheers!

[@Biscuits3000]

Thank you good sir I think you've legitimately save people across the world probably hundreds of thousands of dollars if not pushing to the seven-figure range. Nothing is affordable anymore so do-it-yourself is going to make a huge comeback. Popular mechanics modern era

[@SabrinaWallace-ed5fh]

I've just recently purchased one of these vans. The mechanic quoted me $2,200 dollars to fix my 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan's TIPM. If I had that kind of cash, I'd have a 2023! This video is very helpful, and I will be using it to attempt to fix my TIPM. I'll update once the job is done!

[@togodbetheglory3353]

😂😂 yep! My dealership said the TIPM and PCM needed replaced and reprogrammed and quoted us almost $2,200 as well and not including almost $250 just to diagnose! The new TIPM's from Dodge aren't even fixed where it doesn't happen again later...only 2 year warranty 🙄 we are replacing both ourselves and PCM with lifetime warranty for under $500! Very grateful for this in depth video!

I picked up a used TIPM at a junk yard today for $40 All the rest we saw on the internet were above $200. I'm hoping this one is in good working order. It sure will save a lot of money if it is. UPDATE 3 weeks later. The $40 TIPM was defective. It was installed and every time my mechanic started my van, it died right away. He put the old TIPM back in and changed a solenoid on the front of the transmission and so far, my shifting problems seem to have been corrected.

[@rickknowles9620]

Loved the video. My 2011 Caravan started acting up. Cruse quit then after sitting for a month or so I went to start it and the battery was almost dead, wouldn't crank. I had a little trickle charge device hooked up but not plugged in so I think that drained the battery. Did a quick charge and it started ok. Everything was fine the the dash stopped working and the windshield wipers started running and the controls on the column were dead also. Pulled the J20fuse to stop them. Everything started working again mysteriously and I went to the store. When I drove in the problem happened again. I believe its the TIPM and I am wondering if there are connection problem from corrosion on the TIPM connectors. Does cleaning them up help? I will try your soft reset and see if that works seeing how the problem occur after a low battery event. I would love to here your opinion.

[@WildRandall62]

Great work buddy....Thank you.

[@melanieross4574]

Quick question, My grand caravan no longer responds to the key being inserted, no dash light up, no reaction at all..tested battery it is 100% changed last year, mirrors can move and when I press brake the Kms on the dash board turn on. So there is power but zero reaction to the key being inserted, no ding, or response to buttons on the key. Already had issues with gas pump relay on the TIPM and was expecting new problems but am wondering if this related to the TIPM or could it be an ignition/key issue, it is also has hard to insert the key into the ignition. Great video as well very appreciated!

Video is awesome informative ! Only thing I don't understand is the "reset" procedure ?? Positive battery cable comes to battery ONLY from 2 places - Starter and Alternator ......on Both the "positive" end is insulated/separated from ground (negative) physically . How is touching their positive end to the rest of vehicle chassis (negative) ground .....would do anything ? without a battery - the whole car is "ground" (negative) or more accurate "neutral" .... positive cable of starter/alternator only goes to the internal windings of the electrical "motor" (which both of them are basically).....they don't touch the ground / negative in any way .....otherwise they wouldn't work or blow when connected to battery or spun by engine !!!?!!!?!?

Just came across your video as I was trying to look up the cause of my 2015 dodge grand caravan electrical issues, could you possibly give an ear to a frustrated person, first my gauges and instrument panel turned on and off at random, headlights are on, wiper is on but switches don't work, cant turn it off, non of my switches would work, my rear defrost light would flash every time you open and close the doors or put the key in the ignition, and a/c won't turn on till it stops blinking, then the light stopped flashing one day and my radio light started to turn on every time you opened and closed the doors and put the key in the ignition, but my a/c was able to turn on, no problem, blinkers don't work, but I do have parking light, that's always on too and my brake light works, no interior lights, no door or key buzzer, and this was going on for three months until 3 weeks ago, it went off and never came back on, and it starts and drive just fine. I did some research before I came across your video, and suspect the problem is my tipm, what do you think?, any input would be of great value, thank you so much.

[@YouWrench]

Wow, that is a lot of electrical problems!!! Yes, absolutely the TIPM could but a culprit in many of the issues you mentioned, and I would certainly be looking at that as a priority. It may be worth getting the part number off of your TIPM and buying a used one on eBay (or similar) with the same part number, plug it in and try. It may solve youe issues entirely, it may solve them partially, and there is also the far more unlikley chance that it won't help at all. But for the price of a used TIPM I would likley try that first.

Replaced the tipm and front blower still not working. Any suggestions?

[@YouWrench]

Try testing the relay for the front blower in the top of the tipm (or just swap temporarily with another identical relay next to it just to test). Then test your blower motor. And blower motor resistor. And then after that it would be worth looking atthe heater control panel. Unfortunately it's a process of elimination so you have to keep testing each part one by one until you track it down. We had the front blower not working on a car here, tested EVERYTHING. Turned out to be the TIPM in that case, replacement TIPM and job done. But, of course, that's just one of the possible things it could be.

[@YouWrench]

Did the new TIPM part number match 100% to the old one? Or is the new part number one that definitely supercedes the old one? If you take any old same type TIPM and change it over you can get strange issues happening. It could be that! They do have different part numbers for a reason :-) Otherwise it could be one of the actuators has gone faulty. It seems strange it would coincide with the TIPM changeover, so I'd be thinking TIPM most likley. But otherwise an actuator.

So if the tipm isn’t one of the listed matches online can another tipm still work with a hard reset possibly ?

[@YouWrench]

I would not risk it personally. You'll be better off hunting a little harder/waiting longer to find the exact match/newer version confirmed as compatible. Some sellers on eBay just sell TIPM's on the understanding you can take any part number and put it into any car that uses the same type of TIPM. This DOES NOT work. We've tried this, and had two different numbered TIPM's where the indicators would not work at all on a Grand Caravan despite the reset etc. Tracked down the same part number, worked 100%. They make different part number for a good reason, they are different. Stick to matching the exact/definitely compatible part number, you won't regret it!!

@@YouWrench I picked up a used tipm from a same year caravan but have not tried it or checked the part numbers yet. The problem with mine is that fuel pump relay that is soldered in the tipm. I thought it would be easier to put in a new tipm. Otherwise I would have to order one of those aftermarket bypass circuit from Vertical Visions but would take 2-3 weeks. Other option is to take my tipm apart and solder in another relay. Again a new relay may be hard to find and possibly more waiting time without a vehicle. Is there any harm in trying a tipm without a matching part number ? Any other suggestion for this relay problem ?

On websites that sell genuine MOPAR products they will often list the TIPM but advise it is no longer available and has been superseded, and give the part number for the direct updated replacement.

Had one more question one of my key fobs for 2011 grand caravan does not work and I have replaced the battery and a new outer plastic shell and still won’t work. It’s the basic fob with just the lock/unlock/panic buttons. Can you please let me know how to program this fob as I only have one key fob working right now !

What are symptoms my Grand Caravan might exhibit that would indicate it needs a new TIPM?

[@YouWrench]

Well unfortunately it can be the cause of many, many issues. Things like transmission problems, fuel pump, engine starting, engine stalling, electrical bugs such as windows, ac blower fan. All kinds of weird and wonderful things. You would usually run tests on the issue first to try and rule out the issue being outside of the TIPM - a process of elimination. B these TIPM's do go wrong pretty often, it's a common problem (especially as this unit controls so much within the car and so can be the cause of so many different potential problems!!)

I broke the green clip that snaps on . Will it be fine until I can replace it ?

[@joshuaculick7767]

Just the clip part broke.

[@joshuaculick7767]

My turn signal is acting crazy. They arent blinking outside and my blinker is going really fast inside.

[@YouWrench]

Yes, it should operate ok without the green clip. But not ideal as it could work it's way loose (unlikley, but could happen!) If you are having signal issues, and you 100% certain that the replacement TIPM has a 100% identical part number to your old one? --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

[@dankeller6920]

I am having the same issue, have you fixed it yet?

[@HariSingh-wo9ci]

Can TIPM stop the alternator from charging? Replaced alternator and new battery but alternator still isn't keeping the van running

[@devilmonkey]

Figure it out yet?

[@cordobateam]

Did you figure it out?

[@bobsoft]

PCM controls the alternator charging

[@tonyb2337]

I'd use a hand clamp instead of a cable tie.

[@grahamburrows7570]

This is my first dodge.. it will be my last. Absolutely garbage pos

[@YouWrench]

We feel your frustration, and you're not alone, lol! They are cheap to begin with of course, which leads to cheaper components. They can be a nightmare, but thankfully parts are generally fairly inexpensive (at least compared t some other brands and models!) --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

GM's and FORD are sll garbage now, USA politicians sold us out to china - with the help of GM, FORD, and Fiat Chrysler

[@oregonxyz]

I just bought a used dodge - replacing parts all the freakin time - one thing after another

[@bobsoft]

@@oregonxyz Welcome to the world of automobiles. Electronics do not last forever and other brands have problems also. Less issues with Toyota, Mazda & Honda

[@Relevantminded]

Do they hide a wire under the TIPM that is used for a hood pin mechanism for a remote starter?

[@timothyarnold9068]

Super helpful video! Thank you so much.

[@Chinoelantrax]

Would this cause the alternator and battery to keep dying??

[@loualexander3408]

The video was awesome. Thank you very much.
