Default Random Cylinder Misfire

I own an 06' 3.5 l Uplander and I have a couple Questions for those of you that have the knowledge who may be able to help me!

1) Does anybody know about the flickering of all light's? Headlight's , dome light , and dash lights flicker fairly consistanly. Is this a norm for this model, that is what the dealer tells me. Is their a fix that they are not telling?

2) How the hell do you change the plugs and wireset? All of a sudden today when I was driving to the store it started sputtering. I took it to my local Auto Zone and plugged it in and the Diag. said RCM (random cylinder misfire). I was told and also assumed that meant plugs and wires. How do you get to the rear plugs and wires? Can you, or do I have to get soaked by a repair shop to have them do the 3 I cannot?

I look forward to your words of wisdom and experience, I love this van!

Default Rear plugs

You have to set the vehicle on stands and remove the back plugs from under the vehicle.

How many miles on the van? What code number came up on the code reader? How long have you owned the van?
