OK. First thanks for all the quick accurate answers to my
post...Now...Remembering that this is a 1994 Caravan 3.0 Auto...If the
front wheels are raised and it is in Park if I turn the drivers side
wheel forwards will the trip odometer eventually start to go up? I
know it will take a LOT of turning but I want to see if the odometer
still works to see if the milage it shows is accurate. Thanks

There are definite signs of trolling here...

Nope. The speedo drive won't turn under the circumstances you have. BUT
if you jack up the front so the tires don't touch and BLOCK it so it
cannot fall, then start the engine and put it in gear the speedo will
operate. Of course the easier way would be to drive it around the block.
What mileage does it show? A 94 could have low mileage if it wasn't used
a lot. OR it could have LOTS of miles. I know of some Caravans with well
over 200K on them. They are fleet vehicles that refuse to die...
