I have a 1997 Grand Voyager. The van quit my wife the other day. When I turned on the key it would make a buzzing noise and do some clicking. It would not turn over. I jumped it. Got it home. Thought I had a bad battery. When I went to disconnect the battery the negative terminal with 3 wires on it had the two large wires broke away from the clamp. I charged the battery and installed a new cable clamp. Now when I start the van, the rear wiper and rear intermittent wiper light blink and the rest of the buttons still function but there is no light. Five minutes driving down the road and they quit blinking and all other lights work. Anyone know whats up with my van?

You may just need to re-calibrate your heater console. Check out the last paragraph of post #2 (by RIP) in this thread for the procedure:

Good luck.
