reason why the horn and cruise would stop working on a 2000 crysler grand voyager?

Question 1
reason why the horn and cruise would stop working on a 2000 crysler grand voyager?...  I have a 2000 crysler grand voyager in my shop and customer complains that the horn and cruise both went out at the same time, i am thinking the ground wire is shot

Answers
1)   I'm thinking the horn is shorted internally. Pull the connection on the horn and see if the fuse blows. Have you even checked for a blown fuse yet? You've got a "shop" are a mechanic yet think a ground wire will stop both the horn and the cruise to stop working? How is a ground circuit hooked up to both? I'd expect the B+ for each is on the same fuse! - thebax2006

2)   Hi Ron,

chances are you have a blown fuse.

sometimes you can take the van to Autozone and they will put a tester and tell you what codes are going off telling you what needs to be fixed. They will do this for free.

I just wrote my new amazon book. - Black Belt Bob

3)   The horn and cruise both go through the 'clock spring' under the steering wheel. We had a recall on a lot of these back around then and replaced a truck load. Some has a life time warranty on them because it is part of the safety features. (Air bag). Check with your Chrysler/Dodge dealer and see if yours is one of them. - Jackolantern

4)   It could be that these two devices are fed by the same fuse and the fuse is blown or they share a common ground junction that is rusted/corroded or it has a clock spring problem.



Hope that helps and best of luck. - helpful bob

5)   It might be a coincidence that they quit at the same time. I would look at the fuses first. Get some one to press the horn and listen for the horn relay clicking. If it does click, tap the horns with a hammer while sometimes this will get it working again.
For cruise control, turn on the key , turn the cruise on and off and listen with your ear near the servo. It should click. If not the servo is pooched. If it clicks You might have cruise switch in the steering wheel or where ever the switch is. - Donny

Question 2
my chrysler neon seems to be making a popping noise when i acclerate and jerking ? whats wrong?...  
i dont remember any clicking sound while turning but i could have missed it, also the loud popping sound seems to occour a lot in 2nd gear at about 20mph as i acclerate through the gears, the popping sound is followed by a jerking and slight slowing down in speed. in third gear with high revs this does not happen.

Answers
1)   $100 says it's low transmission fluid.

Solution: Check transmission fluid :D - Deadralord

2)   It could be a number of things...you need to be more specific... - fixed it

3)   Before the popping, and jerking, did it make a "clicking" sound, while making a turn? It could be a CVJ gone bad. - hemi426_207

4)   You have a CV joint worn out. It is best to replace the entire shaft (called a 'half shaft'). And replace both sides at the same time. Most auto parts can order them for a lot less than the dealers. - Jackolantern

5)   I would say your CV joints are shot. Once the rubber boots split you will lose all the grease in there and the bearings will wear out in a very short time. - Donny

Answers
1)   In excellent condition, the book value is around $2200 - $3000. - HeyItsWill511

Their are 3 values
1. retail - what dealers sell it for
2. private party - you sell it on craigs list
3. trade value - what dealers will pay

3)   You have a car that is 15 years old and few are around any more. It is one of the first LHS on the market too. Personally, I wouldn't give more than 1,000 for it unless it is in excellent condition and very few miles. - Jackolantern

4)   Id give scrap value for that. Not a very good vehicle. Perhaps thats why youre wanting to sell it? - eight_kinds_of_hell_454

Question 4
My Chrysler 300m battery died, replaced with good used one. Car won't start?...  Left lights on and door open. Battery died. Jump started it but seemed weak. Replaced battery And now won't start. Help please
Tim that actually happened with the original battery. It winded up then try start with but no fuel was being sent. So I replaced the batter with my dads which was fine because it worked in his truck. But my car has power won't even turn this time.
My car has power as in alarm works, lights, and gauges but won't start. Just sounds like battery is dead. Maybe a new battery?

Answers
1)   Will the engine turn over when you try to start it? If it will then your probably not getting fuel.
Check your emergency fuel shut off. Most of the time the reset button is in the trunk. - Tim Pope

2)   It sounds like the battery is dead. Jump it then drive it around for 30 mins or an hour to charge it up enough to start again. - Daniel

3)   You might need to reset your alarm system. Check the owners manual, or go ask the dealer. - hemi426_207

4)   Its a chrysler product. That is THE biggest problem. I dont know who designed them but they should be shot in the head for making such junk. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but you will never have any good luck with that car. - eight_kinds_of_hell_454

Question 5
Whats the best engine i can put in a 2000 Chrysler Cirrus?...  I am looking to build a rally car and i want both horsepower and torque. I need help please.

Answers
1)   The Cirrus is a terrible car to build a rally car with..it's FWD, heavy as hell, has very poor crash ratings. Honestly, look into an older Impreza or Legacy and try with that, you wont go ANYWHERE with this, it's just too bulky, and FWD isn't the best for rally. - steven

2)   Wrong car! Get a Ford Focus! - CarHelpTips

3)   Not worth it. Get a different car. - eight_kinds_of_hell_454
