Greetings,
Wife's Grand Caravan has had some electrical issues for a while now. Started with the cooling fan switch. Relay always tested fine and still does. Switch would "burn out" right after installation. I bypassed it some time ago and installed a toggle switch powered when key is on and an in-line fuse. That worked perfectly for a while. Wife was out yesterday and the a/c blower motor quit working. Upon inspection the power locks, blower motor, reverse lights, and turn signals are not working. I am writing this in HOPES that someone will have either experience or knowledge of what to do,....I am BEYOND stumped! This van is used to take my two elementary school grade children to school, doctor appointments, etc. Generally a "house van". My oldest child is in a wheelchair so we need the van to take her about or else I would really just set it to the side and not be so stressed about it. Any questions and/or comments will be addressed asap. Thank you all in advance for your help.

I am currently checking if pulling the IOD fuse for a period of time will help as noted in the following post:
