Have you checked all your fuses? Sounds like you blew one.

What makes you think that its a ground wire? When did the problem start? Did you make any changes before this happened,if so what? Give a little more info so that we can help.

From what it sounds like you need to take it to an auto mechanic. More than likely a power wire grounded out. You are lucky the whole van didn't go up in smoke.
