Tonya, faulty windshield seal seems to be a common vanagon problem. It happened to me this past summer...after each rain storm, there was a small puddle on each floormat. A short in your wiring due to this leak is highly likely, although it didn't happen to me. To fix the seal, I simply ran a bead of clear silicon caulk between the seal and the van, no leaks since. If you look carefully all the way around the windshield, you will probably see a point at which the seal pulls away from the van.

Good luck, Pat
