Something isn't wired up right on your 2009 Chrysler Town and Country. If this was a hardwire install where you had to tap into the taillight circuits of your vehicle I would double check that you have all of the connections made to the correct circuits. It really sounds like either you have a couple of the wires crossed or the wiring harness itself is just faulty which is pretty unlikely.
I attached an FAQ article on troubleshooting 4-way installs for you to check out as well.
