Default Chrysler Town&Country problems

My in-laws' Town & Country has had a few electrical problems recently. The battery terminals keep corroding. And in the last week, the rear wiper button light has flashed for short time. And now, after taking it to Sears for a little electrical diagnosis, some of the climate control buttons are flashing.

Any ideas?

Electrical problems are a PITA, and nope. What year is it?

Are the climate control lights blinking sporadically or at regular intervals? If it'* the latter, it could be throwing a code.

Check out www.allpar.com for tons of info on those vans. It'll tell you how to pull the codes for the climate control.

I my parente grand Caravan 97 or 98 it did same thing ,but it kept flash the code and then temp of the air coming out. Turns out in that car the brain to hvac was shot. They have no tranny problems yet, it has never had fluid changed, 147,000 miles on it, and it has had ever couple problems with motor in it, hopefully theirs have 3.8l motor that is chysler or dodges good v6, I think all their other v6 feel cheap
