Default Spark Plug Access in Dodge Caravan 1999

My boyfriend has been at it for almost five days! Trying to get the "other" three plugs in' It takes six, the first three were easy enough, and the other three, yep, underneath the motor someplace (I didnt' look). He borrowed some car ramps to get the thing up off the ground, but we think he still has bad connection on one, there's a bit of a miss still. :/

Why did Dodge do this to us simple people (grrrrr)

I don't envy him there. I've never changed plugs in a minivan, but I'd imagine they're a pain in any minivan considering the limited access through the hood and no access inside like the full size vans.

Default plugs on a caravan

You should be able to change those plugs in less than 3 hours. The plugs will be in the same location as the plugs in the front, if you follow the plug wires you will get to them. Don't try from underneath, it's pointless. If you have to you can remove the windsheild wipers, and then the plastic cover. Then you take a 13m socket and a 10mm and remove the wiper motor housing, the entire plastic from side to side of the car, by doing so you are able to get that out of the way and have plenty of access to the plugs on the back of the motor.
I've worked for Dodge as a technician for about 5 years, I can do it in less than an hour, so anyone should be able to do it in 3.
