Well, we got the van fixed! My bf decided to take every wire off and hook them up one by one to find the short. Turns out it blew when we hooked in the o2 sensor. He took it off and the wires were completely fried. Replaced the connector and we r good to go!

You know, I don't know what is happening in the world anymore. When it gets to a point that a person can't help another, something is wrong. Dealers act like 150 dollars is nothing. Trust me, I know what it takes to save it.

We'll always be here, so if you have questions in the future, let us know.

Just had this same issue. When I unplug the PCM fuse 19 does not blow. I have been having codes 0141 and 0161 plus brake and abs lights on for a few weeks prior to this. Oxygen sensors and wheel sensors have been replaced. My question is can a sensor short be reflected back through the PCM to blow the fuse? I don't have a schematic.
