1998 Chrysler Town & Country Diagnosis -Fixing it Forward

This is the first Fixing it Forward video! In this episode we go through Barbara's list and fix what we can, and diagnose the rest. Yea, this van is old, and it has a few problems, but I think we can get it back on the road.

Here's a run down of what's in this installment. We deal with coolant leaks, a sticking ignition lock, weird electrical problems, windows that don't work, and cheap Chinese parts that break when you try and use them. I'll be diagnosing the transmission in the next installment of Fixing it Forward. Right now I need to track down some parts.
