Where is the crank sensor on a 1997 Chrysler town and country van located?

The crank sensor location on a 1997 Chrysler Town & Country varies slightly depending on the engine. There were a few different engines offered that year. To be certain, you need to know your engine size (e.g., 3.3L, 3.8L).

However, generally speaking, on a 1997 Town & Country, the crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) is usually located on the passenger side of the engine block, near the crankshaft pulley. It's often a fairly small sensor, sometimes with a single wire connector.

To find it accurately:

1. Identify your engine: Check your vehicle's documentation (owner's manual, etc.) or look for an engine code on an engine bay sticker.

2. Consult a repair manual: A repair manual specific to your year and engine will have diagrams showing the exact location of the crank sensor. Chilton and Haynes are common brands.

3. Use an online parts diagram: Many auto parts websites (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts) allow you to enter your vehicle's details and view diagrams showing the sensor's position.

Looking at pictures online for your specific engine is helpful, but be aware that pictures may vary slightly based on the exact engine variations within the model year. Using the engine code is the most reliable way to get precise information.
