At some point the van started shaking when the engine was running. I took it to a mechanic who said that on 2 cylinders the solenoids were burned and he replaced them. Then we took a long trip (6+ hours). On the way back the van started shaking again. I took it to the same mechanic who found and replaced another burned solenoid and also replaced spark plugs. Did not help! After a few miles of driving the shaking resumed. I suspect that there's something wrong with the electrical system. We've had a problem with this van since the moment we bought it used that during the cold season one of the automatic passenger doors would sometimes not work. We could never determine what was wrong. Do I have some sort of short circuit or some other electrical problem that puts too much load on solenoids? Or do I have something totally different? Thanks.

BMRFIXIT, the question is what makes them go bad in the first place. After the first visit to the mechanic they all were supposedly good, so why did they go bad again? I don't know what the codes are. When this happens, the check engine light and the TCS light come on. Is it possible that there is some sort of short in the circuit, or some other reason why the solenoids get overloaded? I guess they burn like that one after another because the current is too big?

Its like a light bulb (why does it go out )
they are go for about 100k miles
I do not believe its a short or an overloaded circuit
codes will determine what is the issue

good luck
