My 2000 Caravvan has two problems. I don't know if they are related. (1) When I turn ignition off there is no warning signal when I leave my headlights on. (2) My wipers work ok but will not work on any intermittant setting. Any help appreciated.
Thank You;

Both of these things are controlled by the Body Computer. They found a solution by computerizing these things, but I don't know what the problem was.

The computer is tucked up against the firewall behind the fuse box. Removal is difficult for a professional. It is also possible these two things are not related. Does the chime work when you leave the key in the ignition switch? If it does not, suspect the computer. The wiper switches used to give a lot of trouble too, but it was more common for the computer to cause the wipers to be completely dead.

Are there any other things that don't work? If so, check all the fuses, especially under the dash. Sometimes they will fall out onto your ankle.
