For 2 wks. now my wipers,radio, electric windows,heater/ ac, turn signals have not worked, including any lights not working! I ran out of gas the other morning going to work {since gas gauge isnt working}. Pulled off the side of interstate & put on my park Now we've found that 6 fuses in the fuse box are getting no power. Before all this happened, there were 3 incidents where the van wouldnt start. Also before all this the theft light in dash quit working & when van was turned off you would have it on the trip odometer & when started back up it would be on the mileage & trip would be zeroed out!

i would look at the battery connections to be clean and tight. if they are ok, power comes from the ignition switch and goes through different modules before working.

you need a shop with a scan tool to check the systems for failures.
