Are Dodge Caravan electric vehicle systems more expensive to repair?

The answer is, it depends. Certain high voltage parts are only available as components in larger units. We do offer promotional financing through the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)

How often should you replace Dodge Caravan brakes?

A brake check is one of the best ways to know for sure. Staying on top of your OEM maintenance intervals for Caravan brakes helps, too. In general, however, front brake pad wear is less in electric vehicles thanks to regenerative braking.

Why is my Dodge Caravan dashboard warning light on?

A dashboard warning light means your Dodge Caravan needs some sort of attention. There may also be a high voltage system warning light on. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic.

What can cause my Caravan to leak water?

Electric cars use a receiver dryer assembly to help keep the A/C refrigerant free of contaminants, and this process can produce some condensation. When it’s warm outside, this condensation may drain under the vehicle. If you’ve been running the air conditioner in your Caravan for some time, don’t be too concerned to find a bit of water under it. However, if you discover large amounts of water or any coolant leaking under your vehicle, you may have a problem with the cooling system or another component.

Local EV Service for 1998 Dodge Caravan

Does your Dodge Caravan run differently than it used to? Maybe you've noticed slower acceleration, or it just doesn't feel as "peppy" as it once did. Whatever the issue, our technicians can run through a no-charge* electric/hybrid vehicle check to get a better idea. Perhaps there is trouble inside your Caravan's high voltage cooling system -- if the high voltage battery is running too hot, it will reduce your battery's performance. Or, maybe your Caravan has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its electric modules? Firestone Complete Auto technicians are trained to provide low voltage and conventional services for all electric cars, including 1998 Dodge Caravans.

Some Firestone locations also offer high voltage/advanced services for electric cars like Dodge Caravans. High voltage services are any that include taking out the Dodge's high voltage, service/safety disconnect plug/switch, servicing high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, any high voltage cables, etc. Call your local store before making an appointment to check if high voltage services are offered.

Your store's high voltage electric vehicle service may include:

Electric vehicle diagnostic: After any symptoms are identified, then our team performs a diagnostic on your 1998 Dodge Caravan to get to the root of the trouble. With those insights, your expert technician can further investigate any electric vehicle problems and decide if more analysis is required to complete the fix. We never perform repairs without your approval.

High voltage battery cooling inspection: Your technician will examine the Caravan's high voltage battery filter, if applicable, and clean the battery's ducts. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)

High voltage cable inspection: Cables can get damaged. In this inspection, your tehnician will examine the exterior cable jackets and connectors and test to make sure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis of your Dodge Caravan. If the cable needs to be replaced, they'll let you know.

Isolation test: For this test, a special tool is used to reveal if a high voltage component is "leaking" energy to the vehicle's chassis.

Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is the battery in your Dodge Caravan dead? Electric vehicle batteries can sometimes fail sooner than expected in hotter climates or if you often use Level 3 fast-charging stations, since these chargers can heat the battery more. We can replace your electric vehicle's high voltage battery.

Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll check the regenerative braking, power inverter, and/or electric drive machine(s)/motor(s) in your Dodge Caravan.

These are only a few of the special electric car services that could be available at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care. Call and ask!
