omg, i have had this van for 7 months with numerous electrical problems. at one point, i had to keep pulling fuses whenever i stopped and went in anyplace. they said it was a sensor, replaced it and here we go again. van will not start , clicking under dash and have asked people to take out the remote for locks and haven't gotten anyone to do it yet. thought maybe that would help since whenever i used it , my locks hardly ever worked and then they were going up and down bt themselves. about ready to sell this van already even though it is beautiful. not sure where to turn next.........
