A few weeks ago we noticed an odd smell whenever we turned on the A/C in the van. It went away after a few days and we thought that was the end of it. Shortly after that the combo of lights for the ABS, traction control, brakes, etc all came on and kept coming on for a few more days until they too finally went away.
Two days ago the air conditioner was blowing in the back upon starting the van, but the front wouldn't come on at all. Eventually it did turn on, but ran randomly until it stopped again. This morning as I was coming out of work I hit the unlock button on my fob and the horn started honking, the wipers went crazy, and wiper fluid was squirting in the front and back. I got in the van and turned it on and everything quit. I work nights so I drove home and went to bed.
I got up this afternoon and jumped in the van to run some errands. The check engine light was on this time so I figured I'd get it checked while I was out. Everything was fine at first. 10 minutes later I was parked with the van still running when the horn, wipers, and fluid started going by itself again. I turned the van off and it still was running. I had to take the fuses out to stop the fluid, wipers, and horn... but I could still hear things clicking on and off in the box.
This time the headlights as well as interior lights were going off and on and the locks were locking themselves. I drove to AutoZone and it gave 2 codes. It showed P0883 (TCM power input high) and P0685 (ASD relay circuit failure). After researching a bit online I'm concerned it's the TIPM that will need replaced. I've had so many problems with this van in the last year and I hate having to throw another large amount at it to get it fixed.
