Have had multiple issues with the electrical system on this van. Went through a stage where it would randomly not crank, seemed dead even though both the battery and alternator were tested by our mechanic and were fine. We finally tried replacing the starter relay in the tipm and that seemed to solve the problem. Now something in the electrical system is randomly draining the battery while the van is off and sitting, the seat belt sensor is not working correctly, constantly shows my seatbelt is unbuckled when it is and the airbag light is on even though all airbags show to be functional according to the dealership. We replaced the battery, as it was time anyway, and again had the alternator tested and it showed to be working perfectly but the issues prevail. We have taken it to multiple mechanics and the dealership and no one can give us a definitive answer. Everything will work fine for a day or two then I can go out to the van after it has been sitting for 2 hours and it will be completely dead, not even enough power for the doors to unlock, I have to pull out the key and manually unlock the door. It has been sitting at the shop for 4 days now, first night they had it hooked to the computer it drained in an hour and they didn't get any substantial data. They slow charged the battery all the way then hooked it back up and it hasn't drained at all since then. They have advised based on forums and contacts that have encountered similar issues that the tipm is the issue and needs to be replaced which is estimated to cost $1300. The mechanic has stated this is a known issue with the tipm and most of them have to be replaced.
