Had to "jump" Van after shopping, couple hours later car started with no problem. Next day used Key fob to unlock Van and open and shut both power sliding doors. Inserted key into ignition and nothing, tried again and lights came on and off, than no power at all and couldn't shift out of park. Had AutoZone check battery, but came back good. Changed battery terminal wires, cleaned posts, still nothing. Even had AutoZone check the relay fuse.

For the most common cause of these symptoms, follow the smaller battery positive wire to the under-hood fuse box. Be sure that connection is clean and tight. A less-common cause is where the smaller negative battery wire is bolted to the body sheet metal. Be sure that one is clean and tight too.

Sounds like a weak battery to me.
