2010 dodge caravan where is the spare tire

As many other car companies have , Dodge has removed the spare tire from their Grand Caravan for The spare tire is stowed underneath the rear of the vehicle and is held in place by means of a cable winch mechanism. With Stow 'n Go seating second and third row of seats can be folded into the floor , the tire is under the center of the vehicle.

Without Stow 'n Go seating, the spare tire is stowed underneath the rear of the Caravan. Where is the spare tire on Chrysler Town and Country? Can be accessed by lowering from inside the vehicle. The access port is on the floor between the center console and the dash.

Plastic cap and use the tools from the storage compartment in the rear. Disassemble the "T" handle. Reassemble the bars to form a long hook. Insert the end of the third bar into the notched end of the second bar. Insert the other end of the second bar into the top of the "L"-shaped bar to form the spare tire hook. Reach under the caravan with the spare tire hook and use the bottom leg of the "L" bar to hook the edge of the spare tire rim and pull it out from under the car.

Remove the jack handle from the compartment. Remove the cap on the spare-tire winch's drive nut in the center of the cargo floor just inside the lift gate opening.

Insert the jack handle onto the drive nut and rotate the nut counterclockwise until it resists being turned. I saw a card for 5 year roadside service. I sure will. Newer Grand Caravans do not come with a spare tire.

There is, however, a space for one under the car about between the front bucket seats. Inside the car, there is a plug just below the center console. Lift the plug, and there is a bolt style lever that lowers the necessary parts for installing a spare tire. You may also need to get a scissor jack. You'll probably also want some wheel blocks. It's not complicated; just a hassle.

Think abut it. It rainy or snowy out and you have to lower the tire from the inside and than piratically crawl under the van while your legs are sticking out and could possible get run over. I guess you can go on the other side if space allows but still dangerous and not very piratical. I think Dodge missed the boat on this one. I think giving up a little space for safety was overlooked. I really hope they change this. TriHarder2 answered 3 years ago. Mark, you don't have to crawl under the vehicle to get the tire.

I had similar issues, but if you watch this video, it really makes a lot of sense. Hans Angermeier has produced over , videos showing drivers how to fix things on their cars. He has broad expertise on basic repair procedures covering the majority of cars on the road.
