Yes, if the car is left off and the light flashes and the battery condition is poor that COULD cause the problem. Put in a new batery and remove the door light and see if the problrm goes away. Chances are the door switch is bad ot there is an electical short. That door light might be on all the time and you don't know it if it is dim. Good Luck
The valve body is a part roughly the size of a 8 X 11 piece of paper, only about 4 inches thick. It is made of aluminum, and is really filled with lots of holes and passageways. It is up inside your transmission oil pan. As you drive, transmission oil is supposed to circulate inside this, and change your gears as you drive down the road. These do fail occasionally, and are expensive to replace, often costing 1,000 to 3,000 to change, as most shops will overhaul your whole transmission in the process. If you will type in " Ebay motors", and then type in "Plymouth valve body", you can see a picture of one. Be blessed.
You have a failure in the transmission or the shift solenoids or wiring to them or the TCM. I would get the Transmission Control Module (TCM) tested for fault codes first. Did you have a check engine light come on?
On the transmission is the control module connected? From that point the connector on the transmission module follow it ,now is that harness junction connected(they should spit off) . If everything is connected with a scan tool they have to reset the index value,reset the tire do a transmission relearn and a battery quick disconnect. Before they can do all this you need to disconnect battery and put the terminal together, The old transmission adaptive strategy is still in the ECM,this is one of the challenges of voyagers rebuild and replace transmission Now you know why transmission shop dont want to do this work for voyagers
may be a striped axle stub or a broken cv joint. but a bad trans is just as likely. have someone look under the car from the side at the axles. then start and put in gear to see if one of the axles turns but car dont move. if it spins then the outer cv joint is broke or the splines in the hub are stripped.
SOUNDS LIKE THE TORQUE-CONVERTER WHICH ALLOWS THE CAR TO BE IN GEAR AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND NOT STALL. IF YOU HEAR A RATTLING TRY TO FIND OUT IF IT IS COMING FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE OR THE TRANSMISSION. OR IT COULD BE A CLOGGED CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HOPE IT IS THE LESSER EXPENSIVE OF THE TWO. THANKS FOR USING FIX-YA. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED
The only fluid expansion tank I know of is for the cooling system,and if that is the case you my have a leak in the transmission cooler that is built into the radiator.
Get those new codes, sure sounds like a MAF issue, also I have run across engine movement stalls, they turned out to be a break indside the engine harness, when the engine moved it would break the connection and stall or run really bad, I found these kinds of problems by pulling and twisting the harness to the engine, then I would cut it open and do the same thing wire by wire.
