Best thing to do is to go to the public library and look in the Reference section for a repair manual for this vehicle. I could go into how to do it, but it is actually pretty straight forward as far as repairs are considered. Just be sure to disconnect the battery before performing any of the repair. (disconnect the ground cable) You will have to remove the drive belt before removing the alternator.

Excessive heat form excessive current will cause this problem. Check for current flow to and from the coil.

sounds like a neutral position sensor on your gear box . this is first thing I would check.

Having once owned a trans repair shop I would never tow with that transaxle or any front wheel drive transaxle You can look in the grill & see all the coolers & follow the lines & tubing to power steering & transaxle NO factory cooler will be large enough for towing Do you change your trans fluid every 3 years or sooner, on ALL vehicles you have ever owned? Death Sentence to any trans if you don't Power Steering Fluids as well You could pull a small trailer just to take leaves to the recycle center but nothing else. Those caravans need to come from the factory with a spare trans,60% of my shops work was those transaxles

Misalignment of the belt, incorrect belt, worn or loose tensioner, Too tight of an adjustment (many service centers do this on purpose so when the belt breaks in it becomes properly adjusted, I do not believe in this philosophy), The belt is actually one long belt called a serpentine belt.....

Change the fuel filter or it may be a bad fuel pump

This fairly easy but requires a little strength. There is a keeper on the top of the sliding door that stops it from going too far.loosen this keeper or remove it. Slide it all the way to pen then stick your hand in under the cover near the end there will be a slot or opening an inch or two long. Take the roller wheel and put it in the opening. Push up and you will be able to feel it seat into the track like a closer door, It may take a . pretty good push .Then replace the keeper on the top of the door. Sliding the door half closed will keep you from pushing it back off before your replace the clip. I worked at the plant that built your van.

Always check the fuses first. If it is an aftermarket alarm check the installation for any in line fuses.

there is a fuse in the IPM intergrated power module behind the battery. also check for a fuse called IOD ignition-off draw sometimes they pop too. other then that bust out the voltage meter go to town on the fuses and power outlets might have a short somewhere.

Check the battery cables for clean and solid connection.
