2002 Town & Cntry: Speedo needle did an exorcist scene

My car a 2003 t&c mv also has a speedometer problem. The speedo and tachometer both are stuck on the wrong side of the post after having a dead battery recharged. Anything you find out let me know. I am actively looking for answers as well and will respond again if I suceed.

Inspect all wires within area of transmission pan and gasket for possible breaks, shorts, loose or disconnected wires.(You said it was just serviced)
thats the first place I would start.

I also have a similar problem, my van's speedometer stopped working. Any ideas on what is wrong and how to get it fixed?
Thank you,
Bill

082800 - SPEEDOMETER OR TACHOMETER INOPERATIVE
Date: 09/29/00

Model year(s): 1999-2000

Description: A condition may exist where the speedometer or tachometer may be inoperative due to gauge needle being wrapped around the wrong side of the stop peg.

Details: This can happen in situations where low battery voltage is present such as jump starting a dead battery. The instrument cluster can cut out if voltage drops below 9.5 volts, causing the needle to drop on the wrong side of the gauge.

1. With the ignition switch in the off position, depress and hold the odometer-reset button.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the run position, continue holding the odometer reset button until the cluster needles start to move, then release the reset-button. (Do not allow the ignition switch to enter the start position) The gauge needles will sweep in both directions and come to rest in the correct position relative to the stop peg.

Since, Jeep and our minivan are both made by Chrysler, I decided to give it a try. The first attempt I turned the key to far and the engine started. The second attempt I moved it more slowly and all the trouble lights flashed and the odometer digits went to all ones and the speedometer and tach needles started moving around and finally the odometer needle swung around far enough so it was left of upright and I let go of everthing and it dropped down on the correct side of the pin. Voila! The speedometer works again.

Wonder what the garage would charge for less than five minutes of actual effort?

Anyway, the speedometer now works.

I too have a town & country (2003) and had a low voltage condition that caused the speedometer and tachometer to flip to the other side of the stop peg. I did the above instructions (switch OFF and hold trip odometer reset - instructions elsewhere on the net indicated switch on, but that didn't work for me). These instructions cleared my problem - thanks.

Ditto for the previous post from Bob K. I have a Chrysler Grand Voyager here in Australia and after a jump start due to a problem battery found both my tachometer & speedometer at full deflection. Following the above instructions cleared the problem instantly. Thanks for the advice, nowhere in the owner's manual is there any mention of this procedure!
