T&C = Town and Country

What year is it again? My '05 would occasionally do something similar, and then it would correct itself. I know my gen of van had an issue with the GEM just wigging out like that and thing no issues shortly after.

Thanks for clarifying for him. It's an '08, so it's the next generation up.

With the Honda's, that was a sign of a bad battery/weak charging system. When voltage drops below their minimum for those sstems they shut down, throwing the warning lights. IIRC, it wouldn't be low enough to throw the battery/charging light but low enough for those systems to have a conniption fit.

I suppose it could be something electrical. If I have time before she has to leave for work, maybe I'll run up to (insert one of 3 parts stores here) and have them test it. I didn't throw the OBD2 reader at it because I figured it wouldn't have any codes to read from that. It is a 7-year-old van, so it could be the battery has had enough. Stay tuned.
