My 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan has also recently begun having problems with the key not turning in the ignition. In addition my interior dash lights and aguges will flicker and in extreme instances the ABS warning light will come on and the gauges (speedometer, tach) will go flat. Has anyone else experienced a similiar situation. Thanks

You have two familiar problems with your Caravan.  The lock cylinders fail quite often in these and similar MOPAR vehicles.  You will need to replace the ignition lock cylinder before it compeltely locks up on you (if it hasn't already).  The electrical problem is just that...a poor ground connection to the body.  Check around the battery for a small battery cable that connects to the negative side of the battery.  That's your ground cable.  Clean and reconnect it to the body.
