Accesory lights STAY on

Changed out battery on my 98 Caravan and the accesary lights are flashing amber for back windshield wiper and the other buttons in the lower console. I assume I need to reset something due to the battery swap-What say?

Welcome aboard the forum! There are threads all over this forum about your identicle problem. You have to perform a calibration procedure which amounts to holding a beer in your left hand (optional) and pushing two buttons with your right: "Turn on the blower. Simultaneously push the top and bottom wiper buttons on the left side of the ventilation control panel for 5 seconds. All the lights on the panel will light up. Then two lights on the left side will alternately flash for about two minutes and you'll hear the ventilation modes cycle. When just the top light on the left side slowly flashes push that button and you're done. All lights should be out and you should be back to normal. This is the ventilation control calibration test and it resets the ventilation system computer in the control panel."

Make sure your A/C is working. If not you'll have flashing lights till you fix it.

My A/C is out, most likely, tried the great advice, thanks. The A/C has been acting up for some months, so I will fix it eventually....
