We had a 1996 plymouth minivan that has been giving us problems with electrical and engine. It wouldn't shift, the cruise control would stick, the battery would be drained even though nothing was left on. On tuesday, dec. 9th 2008 we moved our van to clear our driveway of snow. Within 10 minutes it started on fire in the dash. Somewhere near or in the glove box. The van is a total loss due to the fire department having to use high pressure water,fire extinguisher, cutting wires and fire/smoke damage.
I have a 97 plymouth grand voyager that I have had for 2 yrs. When I bought the van everything was working properly. For about a year now I have been having problems with the electrical system. First my cruise control stopped working,then my horn,now my blinkers only work sometimes and alot of times I have to turn on my bright lights for the blinkers to work. The airbag light is always on which means it is not functioning correctly. These are big problems with the wiring system and it is very expensive to have the whole thing rewired. My husband is a mechanic and he said it will cost over $1000 to have everything fixed correctly.
I returned to the van after grocery shopping, got in and buckled my seat belt. I turned on the ignition and placed the van in reverse to back out of the handicap parking spot closest to the store. Before I could react, the engine began to race at high speed sending me and the van backwards! I was trying to reach for the key to turn off the engine while turning in a circle twice knocking down a tree and coming to a stop when the rear of the van hit the brick building. I was then able to turn off the engine. No earlier problem like this has ever happened but there have been repeated attempts to repair our cruise control which never worked during the time we've owned the van. The van has yet to be checked by the insurance company.
