Our van was running w/ A/C on and then stalled. Tried to restart it and it wouldn't turn over, then tried again and then still wouldn't turn over and then alarm would go off when we turned the key. Tried the disconnecting the battery, trying to find the alarm cut off etc. to no avail.

Two dealerships never heard of this problem. The second one ( A Mazda dealership) said they fixed it ($666.62) they said that some radiator fluid dripped on a fuse and caused the problem. We drove 7 miles and then it died with the same issues as before. Had it towed back to the dealership with their apologies but they are unsure of what to do. This is our only other car and very low on money, wouldn't have bought it but we needed a car badly.

Also, we can't get the spare tire from under the van w/o $$$$ to fix makes irritating grinding/rubbing noises when driving.
