Sounds like a connection problem to power or ground.

Just so you know, I don't have this "feature" in my van, I am working from the service manual. It says that most of the "control" components are mounted in front of the right-rear wheel housing (under the trim panel - inside the van).

There is even supposed to be a "diagnostic connector" that can be shorted to ground so that the control module will enter a diagnostic mode. It says to 1) short diag connector to ground while in park, 2) turn ignition to ON, 3) put van in REVERSE within 5 seconds.

The lights should turn on, flash, and there may be some chimes to tell what is going on or what is wrong. BUT, if you still get NO LIGHTS at all, it says to "check display, wiring, or module" - of course.

I would try to remove the trim panel and check ALL the connections between the control module and the other components (display, sensors, power & ground).

Its a start

Take Care,
