3.Odometer digital readout is intermittent.
4.Passenger power window is intermittent.
5. Digital read out on radio is intermittent.

Any Ideas. Yes I have checked the fuses.

Hi Rick
Welcome to Dodge Forum

You could be having a bus failure. Have had the van checked for active or stored codes?

No I haven't yet. Now the radio and door locks have dropped off working. The door locks only work now when running now. Also, I pushed the A/C button last night to see if that light worked. It no longer does light up. Bought a Haynes book and will be working on if off and on this weekend as time allows.

Considering your symptoms the first place I would look is the heater A/C (HVAC) control panel connector. It's been known to melt, distort the contacts and bring the PCI data bus to it's knees.
