This video details how to remove front wiper housing on Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler mini-vans made from 1996-2002. This procedure opens up access to remove the firewall side valve cover, spark plugs. Alternator, blower motor resistor and more on these low overhead engine compartments.

Great video. I have done this before on another van but came to refresh my memory and try to look for short cuts. You providing the different tools needed was a big shortcut. Thanks for the excellent detailed info. Happy Motoring.

Your intake manifold is different than mine. Yours is more condense and there is a bunch of room to get at the plugs and wires. After taking the wiper tray off I could only get at the number one plug and I still had to go under the van to get to 3 and 5 plugs. Live and learn. Tx for the info.

Nicely done and a great help. Need to do a tune up and not looking forward to dismantling half the car.

I watched a video for changing plugs - but it was a 2002 / 3.3 and the guy took the pan off. I watched a video changing plugs on a 2000 and the guy climbed underneath to get to the rear plugs. I've been searching for exactly this information to find out if I could take this pan off my 2000 caravan. This is perfect. I will now order plugs and wires and save more than $150 to have a mechanic change the plugs. Then if anything gets mucked up I have no one to blame but myself! Great video - great information. I will subscribe!

You're welcome. I also might be the guy climbing underneath to get the rear plugs. That's the way I did it once (and never again) lol

I really appreciate your efforts to make this tutorial! I'd like to find out where can rainwater get to the cabin, which appears under the dash in front of the passenger seat. This makes the floor mat pretty wet.

Make sure your drain hoses are clear. I had the same problem.

[@turcsanarpad]

@@bill7774 Thanks for your reply! I took apart my windshield wiper "pan", and found a drain hose at the left-lower side of the firewall. I pulled it out, to let the water flow from that compartment faster in order not to get into the cabin any more... Until now it seems to be succeeded...

[@bill7774]

@@turcsanarpad there was two drain hoses on mine. One by the battery.

Thank you!

Is this the same for the 03 ???

[@K7DFA]

Oldcoinsandstuff1 : I'm not certain, but it seems like it should be either exactly the same, or really close to it. The "Big 3" are fond of spacing out the "major" changes by anywhere from 5-10 years.
