I recently bought a 04 Express Cargo van, 6 cyl, from a dealer as is. It ran fine for a few days, now its acting up. It will not start at all, I had to rig 2 wires from the starter up to get it started :nono:. When i apply the breaks the 4 way flashers come on, all my warning dash lights are on, (oil, temp, gas etc). but i have no backlight on the dash, the wipers will not wipe or shoot solvent. None of the gauges in the dash work. Any light on this topic would be appreciated.

Problem solved, it turned out to be a cheap aftermarket remote car starter that was causing all the problems, had it ripped out and re-wired. works fine.
