The Dodge Caravan Starter uses electrical energy from a car battery and converts this energy into motion. The Starter receives a heavy gauge cable power from the battery. The ignition switch also feeds the Starter control circuit on Dodge Caravan models. This includes a relay and safety switch. The safety switch blocks engagement unless the automatic is in neutral or clutch on manual versions is depressed. A solenoid, which is mounted externally on the Starter, closes the path for high current. Simultaneously, this solenoid signals a drive gear to move forward and subsequently engage either the flywheel or the flexplate ring gear. Within the Starter housing of a Caravan unit, an armature rotates due to the influence of field coils or permanent magnets. Brushes ride on the commutator to maintain electrical contact. The motion is then transmitted to the drive gear whereupon the firing of the engine the overrunning clutch releases it to prevent back drive damage. Some models use internal reduction gearing to make the Dodge electric motor spin faster while outputting enhanced torque. The Starter thus ensures consistent engine starts for any Dodge Caravan vehicle.
