Are there any sites that have discount prices for legitimate domestic car parts? The Chrysler dealer says I need a new interior light computer for a 97 Dodge Caravan. They replaced the dash light switch ($137) but said that the old switch shorted out the interior computer.

They wanted about $400 to change it out so I decided to do it myself. I don?t trust junkyard electrical parts so where else should I look?

I believe what you are looking for is the Body Control Comupter and most of the on-line stores I checked didn't offer it yet for your vehicle.

Thanks Quixfire,

Yes, the body control computer was the culprit. It looks like I am stuck with the dealer parts department again.

Like I said before I don?t trust wreckers or junkyards for electrical parts. I have a reliable parts source for my Honda but nothing for the Caravan.

I suppose my 1997 Plymouth Voyager has an interior computer too.

cool.

Hope it doesn't break.



 

You are sh!t out of luck, that particular part is dealer only, go to a boneyard, there is nothing to be afraid of.
