When I was driving home yesterday the dash sounded like it was ticking then when I opened the door (van running) the windshield washer fluid started to spray. Later opened another door and the lights flickered on and off. This morning while driving all the warning lights flickered, windshield washer fluid spraying, the door locks going berserk etc... The van was running fine though. Any ideas on how to fix this without going to a mechanic? Please be serious with the answers

Has your van gotten wet inside, drivers window left down in the rain or something? It sounds like you are having issue with the GEM module located under the dash on the drivers side. As much as you don't want to hear this you will probably end up going to a dealer for repairs if the problem persists. Your local independent repair shops will not have the equipment to properly diagnose your van unfortunately.

The gem module would indeed cause all this. But before you go to the dealer, check the charging system for an overvoltage condition. Gem modules seem to be more susceptible to overvoltage than the rest of the on-board modules, and will act crazy. If the charging system voltage is between 13.5 and 14.7, then look for a wet/defective gem module. (generic electronic module)

Call a priest, your van is possessed.
Seriously, you probably have a loose ground connection in the dash.
