They are related. The CCD data bus has decided you've had it too good for too long. It networks all of the computers/modules in your van. In a way though you may be lucky compared to newer van owners. Your generation van has a known issue with cracked solder joints on the instrument cluster circuit board killing the data bus. Try smacking the dash above the cluster. Does anything come alive? Even if it stays dead, it's well worth the effort to remove the cluster and retouch each of the solder points securing the connector to the circuit board.

If that doesn't do it take a look at the heater control panel connector. They sometimes melt and open the data bus. The PDC, your fuse box is a another trouble spot. It is a corrosion magnet.
