Hi:
If the light has been on, there is a code set in the computer. Start by taking the van to a nationally recognized parts store and have them scan the computer for codes. Once we determine the codes, then we will have an idea of what part is causing problems. Note: most parts stores will scan for free, so there is no money out of pocket.

Let me know what you find.
