Description of the problem	Twice during 2013, i had an issue with my 2008 dodge grand caravan. With no warning and no apparent triggering mechanism, the van? S horn would begin a constant blaring and the front and rear windshield wipers would go back and forth. When this happened, the transmission would not downshift. The incidents lasted only a couple of minutes each time. Both times, i took the van to the local chrysler service center and was told that they could not address the problem because they could not replicate the issue. On january 27, 2014, after remotely opening the sliding door but before starting the car (i was still in the house), the minivan? S horn began a constant blaring, and the front and back windshield wipers came on. After a few minutes when it became apparent it would not stop on its own this time, i disconnected the battery terminals, but nothing changed. After 30 minutes, i drove the van to the local chrysler service center. During the 15 minute drive, the car would not downshift at all. When i arrived at the service center, the mechanic disconnected the fuse (or possibly the tipm) to stop the car? S horn and wipers. After a mechanic inspected the minivan, the service manager informed me that the tipm was bad and would have to be replaced. I paid the entire cost of $818. 00 ($610. 00 for the tipm and $208. 00 for labor).
