My minivan has just started having problems.I think that they may be electrical, or a module that's going out.

When driving, the wipers will come on without being turned on manually. I 'turn them off' manually and they stay off. Sometimes all that day; sometimes they restart on their 'own'.

And the power door locks are sometimes difficult to operate (require re-inserting key or pressing the power unlock remote multiple times, also sometimes occurs when inside and wanting to open/unlock doors to exit.

The back/rear/tailgate door makes a very noisy kind of rumbling/grinding noise when the doors automatically lock (upon reaching a certain speed) and also when locking and unlocking the car.

Suggestions about which might be causing this?

Hi:

It sounds like your van may need a priest. (LOL)

In all honesty, the tail gate sounds like the selonid is sticking. The wipers seem to need the switch replaced, and when you refer to the doo locks, are you using the remote? Is the battery good in it?
