If unlocking the Van via the door locks wont disarm the alarm it's because the alarm harness have become detached. The door panel will have to be removed and the harness manipilated manually to disarm the alarm. Or you can have a new remote programed
A) Faulty turn signal switch or circuit. B) Broken dimmer switch or poor electrical connection.Could be relay also. C) Unplug the electrical connector at the motor and use fused jumper wires to connect the fan motor directly to the battery. If the fan still doesn't work replace the motor. If fan works could be your relay.
Did all these problems happen all at one time?? If so you may have a bad body ground. Try running a electrical wire from the (-) negative side of the battery to the body and see if this works. Be sure this wire is to a place with no paint as low voltage electricity will not flow through paint.
A). If not try replacing the turn signal flasher for the turn signal problem. This is usually the culprit and it's easiest and cheapest to replace. The turn signal flasher will be found under the driver side dash next to the hazard flasher. Turn the hazard flasher one to locate it. If you want try swapping the turn signal flasher with the hazard flasher to see if this fixes it. They are the same style flasher.
If this doesn't work you may a faulty turn signal switch or some wiring issues.
B). It could as simple as the head lights bulbs need to be replaced, it's rare but I have seen when both bulbs blew at or near the same time. If your able check the voltage at the head sockets.
C). Could be a bad blower motor or switch. I'm not sure if these models have a resistor block or not. The resister block controls the electrical current going to blower motor which controls the speed of the blower fan.
on the turn signal check the fuse block in the passenger compartment, it will be a square relay on the right hand side, try to adjust the relay with the turn signal on,
Had the same problem with the turnsignals. What happens is the ingition switch is not coming back to the proper position after stating. Just turn the key back a smidge and turn signals shoud work again.
