2005 Caravan, No wipers, No headlights, Check Engine light also check airbag, YIKES!
Afternoon and Merry Christmas Eve all.
I have a 2005 Dodge Caravan POS model (no options, 2.4, no power anything, etc)
Yesterday, the van was fine. This morning hop in and turn it on to find that the check engine light is on and the air bag light is on. Ok. I went to turn on the wipers and I have no wipers. Also, the headlights are no longer controlled but the switch or the dimmer but just come on and stay on when the vehicle is turned on.
Suggestions?
I checked all fuses, and relays with no avail. Unplugged the battery, still no luck.
Best of all, my van has 33,000 miles on it and wouldn't you know it I've had it 3 years and 3 weeks
Thanks so much for you help and suggestions.

These are classic symptoms for a wet/corroded intelligent power module.
