1999 Astro Van 6 cyl mileage: 62,000.I have a 1996 Astro Conversion Van and my windshield wipers quit on occasion. Also, the interior lights come on when I accelerate and go off when I brake. They will not shut off unless I have the car facing downhill. Is there a switch gone bad that operates both of these?

The picture you describe sounds like a comedy act but we are sure it is not funny to you. When a conversion is done, the wiring must be integrated to the added conversion. In doing so, something has apparently gotten loose and is shorting out. You might want to look and see if there is a storage compartment that has a light that comes on when the door is opened. If there is, there may be a bad switch in that compartment. Otherwise, all we can tell you is to start checking wires and connections.
