You will have to rely on you fault codes and go from there. With the electrical issues you have it may pay you to get it into a auto electrician as it may well be a wiring or electronic issue rather than the components themselves. Ask yourself the question if it was a easy repair why has it not been fixed and sold for a higher price?

im putting it on the diagnostic today
i charged an old spare battery last night and put it on the van the rev counter has started working but not registering the idle it is an old battery and probably not holding the best charge the battery light is still on - on the dashboard i put my batyery alternator tester on it and its not picking andthing from the alternator.
indicator lights are working on the dashboard again since i put the charged battery on it like the rev counter so im guessing the alternator is screwed and its messing up a lot of the other features prob not enough volts/amps to required modules.
but im going to put my diagnostic on it in the next hour and see what its telling me
