Thanks for responding Use Common Sense. I actually went ahead and purchased her yesterday and not only does she look lovely she runs lovely as well. Just a couple of things to be taken care of. One thing I can see that I need help with is enabling the Reverse Sensor System on her. It stays off even in reverse and when I push the button it does nothing but stay lit up meaning that it is disabled. Can you offer some direction or solution for that?? Hope so.

It could be a bad bumper sesnsor, the speaker or the control module. Does it go OFF right after starting the engine, or does it only go OFF when placed into Reverse? Mine goes OFF a few seconds after I put it in reverse and then stays OFF until the next time I start the van. Every once in a while it may work. I just ignore mine since I've been backing vehicles up since I was 12...

It stays off all the time. When it is in Reverse or driving or even when I start it up. I would like to figure it out only because my wife will be getting her license soon and I would like her to have as much help as possible. I was thinking about bringing her to the dealer but I need to take care of a couple of more important things first. She has been sitting for over a year and I know I need to replace the front struts but also I need to figure why the driver side rear door does not close all the way consistently.
Thanks Again
