I have 1998 caravan. I jump started it the other day and now when I start it up the ac light, rear wiper light, the rear wiper washer light and the out-side to inside vent lights blink for about 30 min. the they stop. Could I have damaged something by jump starting the van? I did end up replacing the battery.

dont worry you shouldnt have damaged anything
recalibrating your HVAC system should solve it
TO INITIATE TESTS:
Set Blower motor ON HIGH
Set Mode position to Panel
Open all A/C outlets
Set Temperature to Cold (Both slide pots if equipped)
Depress WASH and REAR WIPER button simultaneously for 5 Seconds (Until all LED's light)
RESULTS:
All LED's will turn on for 5 Seconds
Calibration Test is running when REAR WIPER and INTERMITTENT are alternately flashing. Cooldown test is running if A/C and RECIRC are alternately flashing.
Acceptable results is REAR WIPER LED is the only LED flashing. Push Rear Wiper to exit.
NOTE: Prior to start of test, If the evaporator is already cold, the system will fail test. To correct, operate system with A/C OFF and the blower motor ON high for three minutes prior to starting test.
