Hi, I bought this 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan in the spring of 2018, and then in late summer it started having sporadic electrical issues...
Sometimes on hotter days, when turning the key to start the car, nothing would happen - no sounds at all. Repeated attempts did the same thing - nothing. Then after multiple successive attempts sometimes it would just start, and a few times I gave up trying to start it. Then the problem expanded to uncontrollable chaos. Sometimes when starting the car now, the wipers/head-lights/dash lights & gauges/beeps go on and off continually the entire time the car is running from that engine start. Sometimes the car will start without the chaos, but the chaos is returning more frequently.
On the occasions when the chaos is happening, there is no control over any electronically-controlled functions, including the power windows and doors.
Any advice or leads to solve the problem would be greatly appreciated.
