I mean, I can see it, at least I think that's it, under the car, but exactly how does one access it...??
By crawling under..??
Thanks.

I guess you didnt like that answer. It depends on whether you have the standard or "stow and go" seating. Basically theres a plug in the center of the floor that comes out, ( location depends on the seating option).
In the lefthand storage compartment theres a tool kit. Open the tool pouch and remove the three bars. One bar looks like a tall "L." One bar has a spring-loaded notch at one end. Insert the spring-loaded notched end of the second bar into the slot in the middle of the "L"-shaped bar. Insert the end of the third bar into the other end of the notched bar. The bars form a long "T" handle.
Remove the cap on the spare-tire winch's drive nut on the floor of the Caravan between the two front seats. Insert the long end of the "T" handle onto the drive nut and rotate the nut counterclockwise until it resists being turned.
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 (http://www.ehow.com/how_6397286_remove-spare-tire-dodge-caravan.html#).
With "stow and go" seating all ya gotta do is:
Open the lift gate of the Caravan. Pull up on the release lever on the left-side storage compartment. Remove the storage compartment cover. 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.
Pull the spare tire out from under the Caravan.
Now maybe you'll understand my first answer better! :rofl:
